DeepDive

Your phone is your biggest distraction. DeepDive turns it into your biggest focus tool. DeepDive is a high-intensity focus app built for people who want to do real deep work — not just track time. It locks your phone during focus sessions so you have no choice but to get things done. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Plan your day — Start with intention. Write what you’re grateful for, set your daily intention, and pick your Most Important Task. 2. Set up your session — Choose your session length (10, 15, 30 min, or custom), how many sessions you need, and break duration. 3. Lock in — DeepDive goes full-screen. Your phone is a focus tool now. A giant countdown timer keeps you on track. 4. Take structured breaks — After each session, a timed break kicks in automatically. Rest, then lock back in. 5. Reflect — Rate each session (Focused, Flow State, Distracted, Slow) and jot notes on what you accomplished. BUILT-IN COMMITMENT DEVICE: An emergency exit is always available — but using it marks your session as failed. Deep work requires commitment. PRIVACY-FIRST: No account required. No cloud sync. Your data stays on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DeepDive at none against Lockdown Privacy's 18. Lockdown Privacy's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
