Tap OrbieLock. Your distracting apps are gone. Tap again when you're ready to come back. OrbieLock turns focus into something physical. Stick your OrbieLock on your desk, on your fridge with the built-in magnet, or your gym bag, then tap your phone to it. The apps that eat your day get locked behind a physical barrier. No willpower needed. And you're not doing it alone. Every minute you stay off those apps feeds Orbie, your focus buddy, who levels up and earns coins right alongside you. WHY A PHYSICAL TAG WORKS Deleting an app is too easy to undo. A physical tag puts real distance between you and the impulse where you have to get up and walk back to it. That small friction is the entire point. The app is completely free to try. No purchase necessary. No subscription. No account. BLOCK YOUR WAY • Tap to lock: start a session with your OrbieLock • Timed sessions: set a timer to lock in for, and go (no OrbieLock required) • Manual start: your OrbieLock isn't nearby? Start from the app • Profiles: select your app sets for Work, Study, Sleep, etc. • Schedules: recurring blocks that automatically start • Emergency unlocks: a limited amount for when you genuinely need one MEET ORBIE • Earn coins for every focused minute • Level up your companion as your streak grows • Spend coins in the shop on hats, accessories, and room decor • The longer you lock in, the more swag Orbie has SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Daily and weekly screen time breakdowns • Set a daily goal and track against it at a glance • Spot the apps quietly taking your hours STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows your session at a glance • Focus reminders nudge you to start PRIVACY OrbieLock is built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. Your app usage stays on your device. We never see which apps you use. There's no account, no sign-up, and no ads. REQUIREMENTS Requires Screen Time permission.
