About

Focus where it matters. DutyLock blocks your most distracting apps the moment you walk into a place you've chosen. Walk out, they unlock. No willpower required. WALK IN. APPS LOCK. Pick the places. Pick the apps. DutyLock takes the decision off your hands. WHO USES DUTYLOCK Knowledge workers who can't afford a five-minute Instagram detour every hour. They set a lock at their desk and the phone goes quiet while they're there. People reclaiming their evenings. The phone goes down when they sit at the dinner table. Their partner gets them back. Their kids notice. The doomscroll quitters. They turn bedtime into a zone. The TikTok rabbit hole stops existing between 9pm and 7am. People trying to actually sleep. The phone locks itself when they get into bed instead of becoming the thing that keeps them awake until 2am. Gym-goers who want their session. They walk in, the apps lock, the workout is the workout. People who want to read on the train again, or just sit and think on the bus. The commute becomes a real commute, not another scroll session. Movie-goers who go to watch the movie. Couples who want dinner without a phone face-down on the table. People on a date who would like to be on it. Students who turn the library into a study zone and don't see Reddit until they walk back outside. Managers and operators who run shifts on a warehouse floor, in a store, or anywhere phones are supposed to stay in pockets. DutyLock locks the named apps inside the named zones and time windows. Every lock event is logged. No quiet workaround. No restart trick. No Settings toggle that turns it off without somebody knowing. YOUR HISTORY. ON THE RECORD. Every lock and unlock is logged. Export it as a clean report whenever you want proof of where the time went. STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No cloud. No analytics. DutyLock is for people who want to focus and have tried everything else.
