About

Tinted App Lock

Read full description

Most app blockers rely on passcodes or willpower. Tinted uses a physical key card to add friction and make distractions harder to bypass. ------------------------------- Need a card? Visit: tinted.world ------------------------------- You select the apps that drain your time (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc). You lock them down. The ONLY way to unlock them is to physically tap your Tinted NFC card to the top of your iPhone. Leave the card in your car, give it to a parent, or lock it in another room. If you don't have the card in your hand, you don't get your apps. FEATURES: • Unlock Cooldown: Select how long you must wait before unlocking. • Emergency Unlocks: Everyone gets 3 emergency unlocks per month. Only use them if truly needed. • Custom Blocklists: Choose exactly which apps and websites to lock down. You have goals you want to hit. Stop letting your phone win.
