OverlayFocus vs Locky

OverlayFocus is a productivity app that combines the proven Pomodoro technique with real app blocking. When you start a focus session, your selected distracting apps are actually blocked—not just hidden. ■ REAL APP BLOCKING Unlike other Pomodoro apps that just show a timer, OverlayFocus uses iOS Screen Time to block your distracting apps during focus sessions. Select specific apps or entire categories. When you're in focus mode, those apps are shielded until your session ends. ■ CUSTOMIZABLE POMODORO TIMER • Focus duration: 5-60 minutes • Short break: 1-15 minutes • Long break: 1-60 minutes • Sets per session: 1-10 Adjust settings to match your workflow. Whether you prefer classic 25-minute Pomodoros or longer deep work sessions. ■ DISTRACTION-FREE FOCUS MODE When a session starts, the app enters a fullscreen focus mode with minimal UI. Just you, the timer, and your work. The screen stays on so you can always see your progress. ■ SMART SESSION MANAGEMENT • Name your task to stay focused on what matters • Pause and resume without losing progress • Automatic transition between focus and break phases • Visual and audio cues for phase changes ■ SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your sessions across all your devices.

Your apps won't unlock until you get things done. Locky locks your most distracting apps — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more — behind real-world tasks that you set. Want to scroll? Make your bed first. Want to check social media? Do 10 pushups. Complete the task, snap a photo to prove it, and your apps unlock. Simple. No more "just five more minutes" that turns into an hour. Locky gives you the accountability that screen time limits and app blockers can't, because you actually have to DO something to earn your screen time back. HOW IT WORKS Set your tasks: Choose what you need to get done each day. Make your bed. Go for a walk. Do the dishes. Read for 10 minutes. Whatever matters to you. Pick your locked apps: Select the apps that steal your focus. Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, games. Locky blocks them until your tasks are complete. Do the work: When you try to open a locked app, Locky reminds you what needs to get done first. Complete a task and take a photo to verify it. Earn your screen time: Once your tasks are done, your apps unlock for the rest of the day. You earned it. WHY LOCKY IS DIFFERENT Other screen time apps set timers, Locky sets tasks. Timers are easy to ignore or override while tasks give you something real to accomplish before you get your screen time. Locky wants you to have as much screen time as you want - just only after you've done the dishes. Locky uses AI to verify your task photos, so no cheating. Did you actually make your bed, or did you just take a photo of your wall? Locky knows. BUILT FOR REAL PEOPLE Whether you have ADHD and need structure, you're trying to cut your screen time, or you just want to stop doomscrolling before breakfast, Locky turns your phone from a distraction into a motivation tool. Tasks reset daily, so every morning is a fresh start. Set three tasks, lock your apps, and build the kind of routine you've always wanted.
