Temporarily block distracting apps and websites while you focus. Choose the apps, categories, and websites that pull your attention, start a Focus Timer or Pomodoro, and LockIn uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to shield them for the duration of your session. Blocking continues if you leave LockIn or lock your phone. When the timer ends, everything unlocks automatically. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS WITH A TIMER • Select apps, complete categories, or specific websites using Apple’s private activity picker • Set a custom session lasting anywhere from 2 minutes to several hours • Keep blocking active while using other apps or while your phone is locked • See a clean Screen Time shield when you try opening a selected app • Automatically remove every shield when your session finishes • Use Strict Mode to help prevent ending a session early THREE WAYS TO LOCK IN FOCUS TIMER Start one protected deep-work session. Choose your duration, block your distractions, and remain focused until the countdown ends. POMODORO Work and rest in structured rounds. Begin with the classic 25-minute focus and 5-minute break routine, or customize the intervals to suit your workflow. Your selected apps and websites remain shielded throughout the routine, including its breaks. MEDITATE Choose 5, 10, or 15 minutes, or create your own duration. Play calming ambient sound, breathe, reset, and return sharper. Meditate mode does not block apps, so you can use it as a simple calming timer.
