## What is Journal Lock?

Today's one line unlocks tomorrow.

Journal Lock is a screen-time app where writing a one-line journal entry unlocks your chosen apps for 24 hours. It re-locks automatically once the time passes, so keeping access means naturally building a daily journaling habit.

— How it works —
1. Choose the apps you want to lock
2. Write a one-line journal entry every 24 hours
3. Writing unlocks instantly — it re-locks automatically after 24 hours
4. Your entries are saved so you can look back on them later

— Great for —
• Anyone whose journaling habit never survives past day three
• People who want to cut screen time while building a journaling habit
• Anyone who wants to jot down even a single line about their day

— Free —
• 1 app to lock
• View your last 3 entries

— Premium —
• Unlimited apps to lock
• View your full journal history
