Read full description

You don't always need to be productive. Sometimes your phone just needs to be quiet. Lock Phone makes putting your phone down beautifully simple. Grant Screen Time permission, choose one app you still need, and start. Other third-party apps are covered by Apple's system shield while your allowed app remains available. A clear count-up timer shows how long you have stayed focused, with optional ambient sound and a Live Activity that keeps your progress visible. Features: • One allowed app per focus session • Automatic Screen Time shielding for other third-party apps • Count-up focus timer that survives backgrounding and relaunches • Six visual environments and six ambient sounds • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Optional email verification for restoring progress and joining the public leaderboard • Offline sessions that sync safely when your connection returns • No password or social sign-in required Your selected apps never leave your iPhone. Lock Phone stores only Apple's privacy-preserving Family Controls tokens in its local App Group. Email verification is optional for focusing and is required only for public leaderboard participation and cross-device recovery. Pricing: Lock Phone is a one-time paid download. It has no subscriptions or in-app purchases. The price displayed in the App Store is the full price for your region. Lock Phone is a focus aid built with Apple's Family Controls frameworks. You can end a session at any time by returning to the app and holding the finish control for two seconds, or revoke Screen Time permission in iOS Settings.
