Daybound vs TodoLock

If you’ve ever stared at a simple task for way too long even when you know it would only take five minutes, Daybound is for you. When internal motivation isn’t enough, Daybound locks your distracting apps until you finish the tasks you’d normally put off. It’s an app blocker tied directly to task completion. No timers. No streak pressure. No gimmicks. Just simple accountability that actually works. Key Features • Apps stay locked until tasks are done • AI photo verification to unlock • Built-in and custom routines AI-Verified Routines Snap a photo to prove you finished a task. Unlike traditional app blockers, Daybound unlocks when the task is complete–not when a timer runs out. Built-In Template Library Start with common routines like getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, or doing the dishes. They’re simple, practical, and designed to help you build momentum. Custom Routine Templates Create your own routines for anything in your life. If you can take a photo of it, you can turn it into a Daybound task. Privacy First Your photos and routine data stay on your device and in your personal iCloud account. There are no ads, no tracking, and no required account.

Your to-do list says "finish the report." Your fingers open Instagram. TodoLock makes a simple deal: lock your most distracting apps until today's tasks are done. Complete everything — apps unlock automatically. It's productivity enforced by structure, not willpower. ▸ WHY TASK-BASED LOCKING WORKS Psychology calls it "implementation intention" — tying a reward to a specific action. TodoLock turns this into a system: no completed tasks, no social media. Once you finish, the reward is instant and automatic. ▸ IS THIS YOU? • You open "just one app" during work and lose 30 minutes • Your to-do list grows while your screen time does too • You've tried app timers but just tap "ignore limit" TodoLock removes the choice entirely.
