## What is PolyLock?

Your favorite apps are locked. Your books hold the key.

PolyLock blocks the apps you choose - social media, games, anything - until you finish your daily reading goal. Read real books, in a beautiful distraction-free reader, and your apps unlock until midnight. Tomorrow, the deal resets.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps you want to lock. PolyLock shields them using Apple's Screen Time technology.
• Set a daily reading goal, from 5 to 60 minutes.
• Import your own books - EPUB and PDF - and read them in the app.
• Hit your goal and your apps unlock for the rest of the day.
• At midnight everything locks again. Reading is the only way back in.

A READER YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT TO USE
• Clean, immersive, full-screen reading
• EPUB and PDF support with your own files
• Chapter navigation and full-book search
• Adjustable text size, dark theme
• Your progress is always saved

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
PolyLock collects nothing. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no servers. Your books, your reading history, and your app choices never leave your device - Apple's Screen Time technology means PolyLock can't even see which apps you've blocked.

Turn doomscrolling into chapters. Download PolyLock and read your way back to your phone.
