You've tried the Pomodoro apps. They tell you to focus for 25 minutes while TikTok is one tap away. That's not a timer problem. That's a phone problem. Focus Lock is different. When you start a session, distracting apps get LOCKED OUT. Instagram, TikTok, Twitter—whatever hijacks your attention. Blocked until you're done. No willpower required. Just locked. LOCK IN WITH ONE TAP • Start a Pomodoro session instantly • Distracting apps are automatically blocked • Apps unlock when your session ends • No more "just checking" spirals Built by someone with ADHD who was tired of losing hours to the phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your focus (you know which ones) 2. Tap to start a focus session 3. Those apps are LOCKED until you're done 4. Complete your session. Apps unlock. You win.
