LogicLock Screen Time Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
LogicLock Screen Time Control helps make time spent intentional. Time Limit Mode lets you set an access limit for selected apps. Once your time runs out, those apps are automatically restricted, helping you stay within the boundary you set. In Classic Mode, access is earned by completing short puzzle sessions. Instead of opening distracting apps automatically, you first solve challenges designed to engage your focus, memory, attention, and reasoning. Each completed session earns minutes that you can use to unlock your selected apps. The goal is simple: interrupt passive behavior, slow down impulsive app use, and make opening an app a deliberate choice. How it works: Select the apps you want to restrict Set an access limit with Time Limit Mode Complete short puzzle sessions to earn minutes in Classic Mode Use earned minutes to temporarily unlock your apps Build streaks and track your progress over time Challenge types include: Logic and deduction challenges Sequence and pattern recognition Short-term and working-memory tasks Attention and visual discrimination exercises Arithmetic chains and number puzzles Timed focus and reaction challenges Features: Time Limit and earn-to-unlock modes Multiple puzzle categories and difficulty levels Daily challenges Master difficulty profiles Progress, streak, and usage statistics A clean, focused experience LogicLock is for people who want more control over how they use their time and attention.
