Write to Unlock: App Blocker

"I just lost 30 minutes scrolling." The problem isn't willpower — it's opening apps without thinking. Write to Unlock makes you copy out a short line, word for word, before a locked app will open. Only then does it unlock, once — and it locks itself again when you're done. Every time, you choose on purpose. ■ Copy out the line first When you try to open a locked app like Instagram or YouTube, the app steps in: copy the sentence exactly, by hand, on a keyboard with no autocorrect and no predictions. Paste doesn't work. Mindless taps become one deliberate act of writing. ■ No easy way out This isn't a "wait 8 seconds and it opens" timer. There's no waiting your way through. Every time, you write it out. You get one open, then it closes again — after 10 minutes on Free, or after a time you set with Full Lock. ■ Quiet, grown-up design No cartoons, no lectures. A calm woodblock-print interface, and a boat that crosses the lake each time you turn back. ■ Made for people who want to • Focus on study or deep work • Spend less time on social media and games • Actually stick to a screen-time limit • Keep a digital detox going ■ Full Lock (monthly / yearly) • Lock every app you choose, not just three • Set your own re-lock time, down to 1 minute • Lock by day and hour — weekdays only, for example • A different sentence every time, so it never goes on autopilot • A sky that follows morning, noon and night in real time • Five Home Screen widgets • No ads Don't just block your phone — stop for a moment every time you open it.
