## What is LitLock?

LitLock is a Screen Time blocker that turns each blocked moment into something worth reading.

Most tools built to cut screen time are good at exactly one thing: taking something away. Block a distracting app, and what's left is a bare warning screen. It works, but it doesn't give the phone anything better to do.

LitLock takes a different approach. It's built on Apple's Screen Time framework, so blocking apps and categories works the normal way. The difference shows up once a session or schedule starts: instead of a warning screen, you get a passage from literature.

At the center of the app is a literary clock. Check your phone at 3:47, and the passage on screen is one where that exact time appears in the original text. The library holds more than 1,500 such passages, each credited to its author and title.

The result is a small, steady invitation to read: one passage at a time, all day long.


WHAT LITLOCK DOES

Block, on your terms
• Block individual apps or whole categories instantly
• Run a timed blocking session for as long as you choose
• Set recurring schedules by day and time
• Hard Lock: a stricter session you can't end early

Read, instead of stare
• Open a blocked app and see a passage from literature instead of the usual warning
• A literary clock with 1,500+ passages, each matched to the exact time as it appears in the original text
• Every passage comes from a public-domain work, credited to its author and title
• View the clock in portrait, landscape, or full screen
• Works with StandBy
• Home Screen quote widgets in Small, Medium, and Large

Built for privacy
• No account required
• No ads. No user tracking.
• Your blocking settings and Screen Time data never leave your device


LitLock is for anyone who'd rather their phone feel like a quiet, well-kept library than an endless feed.
