Lock In: Habits First

Stop negotiating. Lock In is the strict app blocker you can't ignore. Distracting apps stay locked until your daily habits are done. Earn your screen time. No bypasses.

You already know what you should be doing.

Lock In is the strict app blocker that physically locks your distracting apps until your daily tasks are done. Not with a gentle reminder. Not with a timer you can dismiss. Your apps are locked, and the only way in is through.

Most focus apps trust you to hold yourself accountable. You've already proven that doesn't work. Lock In removes the negotiation entirely.

HOW IT WORKS Set your daily tasks. Pick the apps that waste your time. Lock In uses Apple's Screen Time to block those apps until every task is checked off. No workarounds. No "just five more minutes." Done means done.

TASKS THAT ACTUALLY STICK Create recurring habits or one-time tasks. Choose which days they repeat. Decide which ones block your apps and which are just for you. Every task you complete builds toward your streak, a running count of consecutive days you showed up.

EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME When you hit a blocked app, you'll see exactly what's standing between you and your phone. Your incomplete tasks, listed right there on the lock screen. Want in anyway? You have to move first. Lock In lets you earn temporary access by hitting a step goal. No sitting on the couch and scrolling. You walk, you earn it, it's brief, and then it's gone.

STEP GOALS THAT COMPLETE THEMSELVES Some habits are about movement. Set a step target on any task and Lock In tracks your progress through Apple Health. Hit your goal and the task checks itself off. No manual input, no lying to yourself.

STREAKS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Your streak counts consecutive days with every task completed. Miss a day and you'll know it. Lock In gives you one recovery per week. Use it wisely or watch the number reset. There's no buying your way back. You either showed up or you didn't.

LOCK MODE For the days when you don't trust yourself to not delete a task or turn off blocking. Lock Mode freezes your setup for 1 to 30 days. No removing apps from the block list. No deleting tasks. No turning off blocking. You set the rules when you're strong so they hold when you're weak.

DAILY REMINDERS Set a time. If your tasks aren't done, you'll hear about it.

WIDGETS See your streak and remaining tasks without opening the app. Small and medium widgets keep your progress visible on your home screen.

BUILT DIFFERENT No account to create. No email to enter. No data leaves your device, ever. Everything runs locally through Apple's Screen Time framework. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Lock In doesn't know who you are and doesn't care.

THIS APP IS NOT FOR EVERYONE If you want a distraction blocker with pastel colors and breathing exercises, this isn't it. Lock In is for people who are tired of losing hours to their phone and want something that actually stops them. It's blunt. It's strict. It works.

Stop scrolling. Start finishing.
