## What is LockIn?

Your phone is engineered to steal your attention. LockIn blocks the pull while you focus, so the work gets your best hours.

Pick a length, hold to start, and the apps and sites you chose stay blocked until the timer runs out. Strict by default. Unbreakable with Deep Focus.

HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps and websites that distract you, using Apple's Screen Time controls. • Turn the dial to the time you want, from a quick sprint to a long block. • Hold to lock in. Blocking starts, the timer runs, and your Lock Screen keeps you honest.

BUILT TO KEEP YOU FOCUSED • Hold to start: every session is a decision, not a casual tap. • Ending early has friction: on Free you can still end a session with a hold, and it's saved as ended early. • Deep Focus (Pro): no pausing and no ending until the timer's done. • Blocking lifts on time, even if LockIn is closed, and you get an alert when a session ends.

ALWAYS IN VIEW • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with your session, today's focus and your streak. • StandBy: a dusk sky that warms as your session runs. • Lock in from Control Center (iOS 18), the Action button, Siri or Shortcuts.

PLAN AND TRACK • Schedule repeating focus blocks across your week, laid out like a calendar, with a nudge before each one. • Your streak comes straight from your focus history, so it's always right. • Stats for today, this week and the last 12 weeks. • Finish a session, take a break, and share a card of what you did.

MAKE IT YOURS • Set your own focus, break and long-break lengths, and how many cycles to chain. • Two session looks, Dots or Aurora, in dark or light. • Ambient sounds that keep playing while you work.

FREE • Focus timer, breaks and cycles • Block up to 3 apps or sites • One scheduled focus block • Live Activity, widgets and StandBy • Streaks and today's stats

LOCKIN PRO • Unlimited app and site blocking • Deep Focus: no pausing, no ending early • Unlimited schedule blocks • Weekly and 12-week stats • All ambient soundscapes

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your focus history, streaks and settings stay on your iPhone.
