Rootlock: Focus & Block

Grow a real plant — or watch it wilt. Rootlock uses Screen Time to truly block distracting apps while your streak and garden grow session by session.

Rootlock turns your phone into a focused environment — blocking the apps that steal your time while growing a virtual plant that reflects your actual discipline.

Unlike honor-system focus apps, Rootlock uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce your focus window. Open a blocked app mid-session and your plant wilts. Stay focused and it climbs from a tiny seed to an Ancient Tree.

HOW IT WORKS

Start a focus session and pick which apps to block. Rootlock locks them at the system level — no willpower required. Your plant earns XP every minute you stay focused. Break the session and the relapse is recorded. Your streak, your garden, and your stats reflect exactly how disciplined you've actually been.
