## What is Unlockly?

Turn your phone into a dumb phone — and get it back by learning.

Unlockly blocks the apps that eat your day. To open them again you don't wait out a timer: you answer a few words in a language you're learning. Time is earned, not given.

How it works
• Pick the apps and websites that distract you
• They get blocked behind a shield
• Answer short vocabulary tasks to earn minutes
• Spend those minutes to unlock access

What's inside
• Live Activity — your unlock timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Your own vocabulary: add words, sort them by level, practise them
• Vocabulary library by levels, A1 to B2
• Custom groups of blocked apps, not one list for everything
• English and German as learning languages
• Streak, XP and a companion that grows with you
• Light and dark theme, 10 interface languages

Pro
• Full vocabulary library
• Unlimited apps to block
• All learning languages

Built on iOS Screen Time. Unlockly never sees which apps you use — Apple's Family Controls keeps that on your device.
