Stop doomscrolling today and reclaim your time! LOCKR is a screen time control app blocker that uses a personalized AI focus coach. You select the apps you want to block and whenever you open one of those apps, LOCKR intercepts it. To get access to an app, you have to provide a reason for the access. The coach will evaluate your reason and, based on the strictness that you set, it will decide on an appropriate amount of time for your access. When the timer ends, it will lock you out of the app again. It works with your screen time data to adapt your coach's strictness, track your progress, and show you exactly how much time you've reclaimed relative to your goal. Here are all of the features you get: - Instant app and website blocking - A personalized focus coach you can configure - Insights into your screen time usage through analytics - Daily check-ins that tell your coach how you're doing - A way to set and track your screen time goals - A focus and pause mode for adaptive blocking PRIVATE & SAFE * All features above require a subscription Terms of Service: https://trylockr.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://trylockr.com/privacy.html ## Key features - AI focus coach - Instant app and website blocking - Personalized blocking configuration - Screen time usage analytics - Daily check-ins - Goal setting and tracking - Focus and pause mode ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Week) | $8.99 | per 7 days | | LOCKR Unlimited (1st Year Discount) | $29.99 | per year | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Year) | $29.99 | per year | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Year) | $29.99 | per year | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Month) | $14.99 | per month | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Month) | $14.99 | per month | | LOCKR Unlimited (1 Year Discount) | $24.99 | per year | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | LOCKR Lifetime | $39.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 32) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lockr-screen-time-control/id6758957331/reviews.md ### 5/5 — LOCKR *2026-08-12* I love this app ### 2/5 — The app doesn’t work *2026-07-06* I fenished all sttings at the end I can’t select continue **Developer response:** Hello Yusuf, Sorry for the inconvenience. Please send our team screenshots of the issue, and we will get it fixed for you. Send it to lockrapprdev@gmail.com. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-01* Paid the years subscription and it doesn’t do anything - I can still scroll as normal and the app won’t be blocked once the screen time limit is reached or even a reminder. Don’t waste ur money **Developer response:** Hello Mikey, Sorry you experienced this issue. Email our team with screenshots of the problem, and we will get this fixed for you immediately. Send it to lockrappdev@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Impenetrable paywall. *2026-06-25* It’s pretty scummy locking the entire app behind a paywall AFTER making you waste your time customising it and sharing your personal information. NO functions of the app are usable without paying and it doesn’t even tell you that until you’ve already shared your information with it. You’re better off just using the Screen Time function. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-06-22* While signing up I was expecting to get a easy to use app but after finishing it. The app tries to make you pay to “reclaim” your time. Of course I want to reclaim my time but for 30 bucks I rather find a better app! ### 1/5 — Why roblox? *2026-06-21* Every single time I chat with the AI to unblock the app I want to use, it just gives me time for roblox. I have tried restarting the AI and everything but I still only get time for roblox. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t tell you that the app costs money *2026-06-19* The app seems really good and thoughtfully designed but as you go through setting up the app, which really takes a bit of time, it kind of gaslights you into thinking it’s free until your done and can’t continue without a monthly plan. I get the concept that more people are prone to buy it that way but from the customers perspective it’s really just frustrating. ### 1/5 — Cost *2026-06-19* It cost money i just want my addiction away ### 5/5 — Ace’s review *2026-06-17* This has changed my life **Developer response:** Hello Ace, This is exactly why I built LOCKR. Your review made my day.
