## What is Write to Unlock?

"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. That's Write to Unlock.
