TaskLock blocks the apps that distract you — until you've earned your way back in. HOW IT WORKS Mark a to-do or daily routine as "Locking," and your chosen apps stay blocked with Apple Screen Time until it's done. Finish your work, and they unlock automatically. No willpower required — the block does the work for you. FEATURES • Locking To-Dos — one-off tasks that gate your apps until you check them off • Dailies — repeating routines on the days you choose, with optional start times (e.g. lock apps at 9 PM until you've brushed your teeth) • Barcode proof — require scanning a real object, like your toothpaste, to check off a routine, so there's no cheating from the couch • Habits — plain streaks with no blocking, for the things you just want to track • Focus Sessions — lock distracting apps for a set block of time • Scheduled Blocks — recurring windows where apps stay locked no matter what • Strict Mode — for when you don't trust yourself with an escape hatch • Emergency Pass — one 15-minute grace period a day, for real emergencies • Home screen widget — today's lock status at a glance PRIVACY FIRST Your tasks, habits, and routines are stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded, tracked by content, or sold. TaskLock never even sees which apps you've chosen to block — Apple's Screen Time framework enforces that privately, on-device. FREE TO USE TaskLock is free, with one locking to-do and one locking daily. Premium unlocks unlimited locking tasks and routines, plus extra streak protection. Stop relying on willpower. Lock the distraction, do the work. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://celikj.github.io/tasklock-legal/privacy-policy.html
