LockBuddy helps you protect your own Screen Time rules when willpower is not enough.
Choose distracting apps, set daily limits, and let iPhone shield those apps when their time is up. For stronger accountability, add a trusted person as your Guardian and let them hold the local Guardian Code for sensitive changes.
LockBuddy is built for adults who want fewer loopholes:
- Per-app daily limits
- Strict Lock for no-change days
- Local Guardian Code for protected edits
- Break passes for limited emergencies
- Shareable unlock request messages
- Shareable local event log
- No account required
- No backend required
LockBuddy uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks. App selections are private system tokens, and your settings stay on your device.
