Stop doomscrolling today and reclaim your time! LOCKR is a screen time control app blocker that uses a personalized AI focus coach. You select the apps you want to block and whenever you open one of those apps, LOCKR intercepts it. To get access to an app, you have to provide a reason for the access. The coach will evaluate your reason and, based on the strictness that you set, it will decide on an appropriate amount of time for your access. When the timer ends, it will lock you out of the app again. It works with your screen time data to adapt your coach's strictness, track your progress, and show you exactly how much time you've reclaimed relative to your goal. Here are all of the features you get: - Instant app and website blocking - A personalized focus coach you can configure - Insights into your screen time usage through analytics - Daily check-ins that tell your coach how you're doing - A way to set and track your screen time goals - A focus and pause mode for adaptive blocking PRIVATE & SAFE * All features above require a subscription Terms of Service: https://trylockr.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://trylockr.com/privacy.html

Blocking apps feels like punishment. DOPPY makes beating your screen time a game. You’ve tried the blockers. You deleted them. They felt like a chore, they were easy to ignore, and they made cutting screen time feel like a punishment. DOPPY flips that. DOPPY turns reducing your screen time into a game you actually want to play. Stay off the apps that drain your day and you earn spins, rewards, and streaks. Your focus powers a character that levels up with you. Less doomscrolling, more dopamine — from the right place. WHY DOPPY IS DIFFERENT • Rewards, not punishment — make spins and unlock quick real world tasks for staying focused. • A focus buddy — your DOPPY character grows as your screen time shrinks. • Streaks that stick — build momentum day after day so the habit actually lasts. • Real blocking — lock distracting apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube when you need to focus. • See your wins — watch the hours you reclaim add up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your time. 2. Set your focus goals. 3. Stay off, keep your streak alive. 4. Complete real world quest to get access to blocked app. Whether you’re fighting doomscrolling, building better habits, studying, or just trying to take back control of your day — DOPPY makes it feel less like willpower and more like a win.
