## What is Intent Lock?

Most mornings, the first thing you do is check your phone.

Notifications. Social media. News. And just like that, your day has already started without you.

Intent Lock flips that script.

Your phone stays locked until you set your intentions for the day.

No scrolling. No distractions. Just you and your goals before anything else gets your attention.

HOW IT WORKS

Every morning, Intent Lock activates during your wake hours. Your phone is blocked from your usual apps until you open Intent Lock and write down what you actually want to accomplish today.

Set your goals. Hit submit. Your phone unlocks. That's it.

Throughout the day, come back to your dashboard to check off goals as you complete them. Watch your progress bar fill. Keep your streak alive. End the day knowing exactly what you did and did not do.

FEATURES

 - Phone and App Blocker: Keeps your phone locked each morning until your daily goals are set, using Apple's Screen Time FamilyControls framework.
 - Daily Goals and Intentions: Set a drag-to-reorder list of intentions each morning. Clear, simple, no system to learn.
 - Progress Dashboard: Check off goals throughout the day. Visual progress bar shows how your day is going at a glance.
 - Streak Counter: Build a consecutive day streak displayed on a full-screen weekly calendar so every day counts.
 - Home Screen Widgets: Interactive goal checkboxes right on your home screen via WidgetKit. See and complete your goals without opening the app.
 - Live Activities: Persistent goal progress visible on your lock screen and Dynamic Island throughout the day.
 - Flexible Wake Hours: Configure your own blocked hours. Whether you wake at 5am or 9am, Intent Lock adapts to your schedule.

WHY INTENT LOCK IS DIFFERENT

Most app blockers just block apps. Most goal trackers just track goals. Intent Lock connects the two. Your phone access is the incentive. You don't get your apps until you have decided what today is for.

This is not about restriction. It is about intention.

Your phone is a tool, not a default. Intent Lock makes sure you pick it up on purpose.

WHO IT IS FOR

Intent Lock is for anyone who has ever picked up their phone in the morning and lost 30 minutes without meaning to. If you have tried habit trackers, goal apps, or app blockers and nothing has stuck, it is because none of them had a real consequence. Intent Lock does.

Start your first intentional day.

Download Intent Lock and wake up tomorrow ready to start with intention.
