Lockmeout

Lockmeout is the iOS companion app for lockmeout.online — a service that lets you seal away secrets (phone PINs, passwords, text) inside time locks that only open when you decide. USE CASES • Lock your phone's screen PIN away during work hours so you can't unblock yourself early • Store a game or social media password in a lock during a study or focus session • Set up any self-imposed restriction with a guaranteed, time-based release HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a time lock at lockmeout.online and store a secret inside it 2. Add your lock to this app using its 7-character ID or by scanning a QR code 3. The app monitors your lock — and reveals the secret the moment it opens LOCK SCREEN WIDGET Add a widget directly to your iPhone lock screen. It shows your lock's name and status at a glance, and displays the secret as soon as the lock opens — no need to even unlock your phone. SIRI INTEGRATION Ask Siri hands-free while your phone is locked: • "What is my lock code in Lockmeout?" • "When does my lock open in Lockmeout?" • "Is my lock open in Lockmeout?" MULTIPLE LOCKS Track several locks at once. The cycling widget rotates through all your locks every 20 seconds. A long-press on any lock in the list copies the secret to your clipboard. REQUIREMENTS • Locks must be set to public visibility within lockmeout.online website so the app can fetch them without signing in • No signup or account needed (but recommended for easier management of locks)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lockmeout at none against AppBlock's 16. Lockmeout also leads on ads (none vs shown). AppBlock's advantage is chart position (#196 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
