Procrastination Lock turns an avoided task into a focus commitment you can actually finish. Start with 3 complete locks free. Write the exact task, choose the apps that distract you, set a timer, and decide what evidence will prove the work is done. Selected apps stay blocked until the session is completed. When you finish, submit a photo or a short proof video. The verifier checks whether the evidence matches your goal before unlocking your apps. If visual proof is genuinely unavailable, explain why for a separate plausibility review. Emergency unlocks remain available, but they never count as completed work. BUILD REAL MOMENTUM - Track protected minutes instead of hypothetical time saved. - See completed tasks and your current focus streak. - Review a seven-day progress chart. - Receive focus and session-complete reminders. - Earn an occasional proof-free completion after consistent approvals. USE IT FOR Studying, writing, deep work, reading, workouts, cleaning, room resets, admin tasks, and any goal with a visible finish line. FREE AND PREMIUM Your first 3 locks are free and do not start a subscription. Premium gives you unlimited locks with weekly or yearly access. Eligible new yearly subscribers receive a one-week free trial. Payment renews automatically unless cancelled through Apple subscription settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
