## What is Brainlock?

Brainlock helps you quit scrolling using science:


COMPARE WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW
Invite friends to a private leaderboard and see whose has the lowest screentime

SOMETHING BETTER TO DO
Brain games, exercise, languages, flashcards and business lessons, so
the reflex to reach for your phone has somewhere to go.

BUILT ON PUBLISHED RESEARCH
Four mechanisms shown in peer-reviewed studies to reduce screen use:
making apps harder to open, interrupting the reflex, offering a real
alternative, and making someone else aware. Sources are cited in the app.
