## Description

Read a book page to unlock your apps. The only screen time blocker that replaces doomscrolling with a reading habit. Less scrolling, more focus.

Pagelock helps you read more and scroll less. A simple way to stop doomscrolling and build a real reading habit.

When a distracting app calls for your attention, Pagelock puts something better in the way. A real book.

Open a page.
Read it.
Scan it.
Answer a quick question.
Then decide if you still want to continue.

That small pause changes the moment. Instead of falling straight into mindless scrolling, you stop, read, and come back with more focus and control.

Pagelock is for people who want:
• less doomscrolling and more real reading
• a distraction blocker that actually helps you grow
• a calmer, more mindful relationship with their phone
• to reduce screen time without deleting apps

What you can do with Pagelock:
• block distracting apps until you read a real page
• unlock your phone through reading, not willpower
• scan a printed book page with your camera
• complete a quick reading check to verify you read
• run timed reading sessions and build a daily habit
• set daily reading goals and track streaks
• choose how unlocks work
• track your reading progress and history over time

Pagelock is not another screen time app that shames you into putting your phone down. It is a digital detox tool that replaces the scroll with something real. A book.

Read to unlock. Build a reading habit. Take back your focus.
