ForkLock: Meal Timer & App Blocker

Put your phone down and enjoy your food. ForkLock locks distracting apps during meals using Screen Time so you can eat without scrolling. Set a timer, block apps, and build the habit of phone-free meals.

We check our phones 58 times a day. Many of those happen during meals. ForkLock helps you take back mealtime with a simple countdown timer that blocks the apps pulling your attention away.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick a meal. Set a timer. Your apps get blocked until the timer ends. That's it. ForkLock uses Apple Screen Time to block distracting apps while keeping essentials like Phone and Messages available. When the meal is done, everything unlocks automatically.
