## What is Protekto?

Protekto is your personal App Lock Companion. 

Protekto helps you guard your focus, sleep, battery habits, and daily routines by locking distracting apps during the moments you choose.

Whether you want to read before scrolling, finish a work session, protect your sleep hours, complete a to-do list, or move before opening distracting apps again, Protekto gives you gentle structure without making your phone feel stressful.

Your App Store purchase includes every Protekto feature—no subscriptions or additional in-app purchases.
No Subscriptions.
No ads.
Access to ALL Modes.
Future Updates.

Key features:

• App protection with Screen Time
Choose apps to guard during focus, reading, sleep, work, workout, battery, and to-do routines.

• Battery protection habits
Get helpful reminders when your battery is low, when it is time to charge, and when it is time to unplug based on your settings.

• Reading Mode
Lock selected apps while you complete your reading time. You can optionally connect reading apps as part of your routine.

• Work / Study Mode
Protect your focus during a timed session and celebrate when the session is complete.

• Sleep Mode
Guard selected apps during sleep hours and choose whether to unlock them when you wake up.

• To-Do List Mode
Lock distracting apps until your selected tasks are completed.

• Workout Mode
Use step progress from Apple Health to unlock selected apps after reaching your step goal.

• Smart mode priority
When multiple protections are active, Protekto decides which lock screen message should appear based on your mode priority.

• Emergency bypass
Unlock protected apps when needed, with safeguards.

• Insights and streaks
See simple summaries of how Protekto helped you protect focus time, sleep time, routines, and battery habits.

• Playful onboarding
A friendly walkthrough helps you set up permissions, app locks, automations, and Protekto’s core features.

Protekto is designed to feel encouraging, not punishing. It helps you create small boundaries around your phone so your attention, rest, movement, and battery habits are easier to protect.

Important:
Protekto uses Apple Screen Time APIs to help users select and shield apps. Workout Mode uses Apple Health step data only when you grant permission. Protekto does not provide medical advice and does not guarantee battery health improvement.
