What's New in LockPact

1.3

August 19, 2026

Willpower Waivers now come in every size. Unlimited ($9.99) is still there, but now you can skip a single ad for $1.99 or pick up a 3-pack for $4.99. Skips are tied to your account, and you can check your balance anytime — right on the ad screen, or in Settings. One moment, every time. Ending a lock early now always brings up the same "Take a moment" screen, no matter what you own. The pause to reconsider is the whole point — so nobody skips past it silently anymore. Not even us. Also in this release: fixed a stubborn bug where ending a pact during a pause could leave one phone stuck locked. Locks now end when they should. Every time.

It’s really great but…

The app is great but the other person can just uninstall the app to access their locked apps without you getting notified of it. If they can add a feature that tells you if the other person uninstalls the app or maybe a feature where it will dissolve the pact if you uninstall up, thus notifying the other person of that. If a feature like that was added then I’d change my rating to 5 stars.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review — glad it's working well for you. We hear you on this one. Unfortunately iOS doesn't provide a method for an app to know when it's been deleted, so there's currently no reliable way for us to detect an uninstall — which rules out both alerting your partner and automatically ending the pact. It's a system-level restriction, and there's no clear path around it today. We'll continue to watch for changes and explore other approaches.

FAQ

How does LockPact work with a partner?

You pair with a trusted person using a 6-digit code. Each of you selects apps to lock on your own device. When you need access, you send an unlock request, and your partner must approve it.

Does LockPact have ads?

Yes, LockPact contains advertisements. One ad plays before an unlock request is sent, which is intended to add friction to the unlocking process.

Is LockPact free to use?

Yes, the core accountability features of LockPact are free and will remain so forever. This includes pairing, selecting apps to lock, sending/receiving unlock requests, and bypass notifications.

What devices does LockPact support?

LockPact is currently supported on iPhone devices. The app uses the Screen Time API, which is specific to iOS.

How is my privacy protected with LockPact?

Your screen time data never leaves your device. LockPact only syncs lock status and unlock requests, not your app usage details. Screen Time API data is processed on-device only.

What is the age rating for LockPact?

LockPact has an age rating of 12+. This is suitable for users aged 12 and older.

How often is LockPact updated?

The latest version of LockPact is 1.1, and it was last updated on July 8, 2026. Updates typically include bug fixes and feature enhancements.

Can I bypass LockPact if needed?

While Apple makes bulletproof blocking impossible on iOS, bypass is still possible. However, when you bypass LockPact, your partner is notified, making the bypass process visible and potentially embarrassing.
