Lock distracting apps before a night out — or any time you need to focus. SoberLock puts a shield on social media, dating apps, and anything else that tempts you, then makes you pass sobriety tests to unlock early. BUILT FOR • Nights out — stop drunk texts, regrettable posts, and reply-all disasters • Study sessions — no endless scrolling during exam prep • Deep work — ship what matters, without the feed pulling you back • Digital detox — rebuild focus one locked hour at a time HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick an end time — tonight, tomorrow morning, or a custom hour 2. Choose which apps to block with Apple's Screen Time picker 3. Pick a protection level — Easy, Hard, or Impossible 4. Activate. The shield goes up. THREE UNLOCK CHALLENGES • Easy — type a short random 6-character code (free) • Hard — memorise emoji flashes, draw a steady circle, type an 8-char code • Impossible — no early unlocks. The timer decides. Period. WHY SOBERLOCK? • All-or-Nothing: pass every test or the lock stays. No shortcuts. • Face ID gate on Impossible — friends can't prank-lock your phone • Survives restarts — closing or crashing the app won't cut the lock short • Clean native iOS 18 design. No ads. No data mining. • Uses Apple Family Controls — the official, private way to block apps THE SOBRIETY TESTS • Text test — type a random 6 or 8-character code. One typo regenerates it. • Emoji recall — three of eight emojis flash for a second. Tap the right ones. • Circle draw — trace a smooth circle with your finger. Shaky hands won't pass. FREE vs PRO • Easy level is free, forever. • Hard and Impossible require SoberLock Pro — 3-day free trial, then annual or monthly. • Pro unlocks every sobriety test and every protection level. PRIVACY FIRST We don't see your app list, your data, or your pictures. Everything runs on-device through Apple's Screen Time APIs. No server, no profile, no tracking. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled 24h before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Ready to stop losing nights to your phone? Download SoberLock and take back control — one lock at a time.
