Your partner holds the key. LockPact is a free iPhone app for mutual screen time accountability: you and a friend, partner, or roommate each lock apps on your own phone, and only the other person can approve an unlock. No account needed to start. HOW IT WORKS Pair with a friend, partner, or roommate using a 6-digit code Each of you selects which apps to lock on your own device When you need access, send an unlock request — your partner approves or declines That's it. No subscriptions, no surveillance, no complicated setup. WHY IT WORKS Willpower runs out. Accountability doesn't. Every solo app blocker eventually fails — because you're the one who can turn it off. LockPact is different: your locked apps need your partner's approval to open. That one moment of friction changes everything. And yes — bypass is still possible. Apple makes bulletproof locking impossible on iOS. We're honest about that. But when you bypass LockPact, your partner gets notified. Bypassing isn't silent anymore. It's embarrassing. That's the point. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Mutual — you each hold the key to the other's lock • Honest — no false promises about "bulletproof" blocking • Actually free — core accountability features cost nothing, forever • Private — your screen time data never leaves your device Most app blockers are you vs. yourself. LockPact makes screen time a pact between two people. WHAT'S FREE Everything that matters for accountability: • Pair with a partner via 6-digit invite code • Select apps to lock on your own device • Send and receive unlock requests • Get notified when your partner bypasses • Solo lock timer (for solo practice before pairing) • Schedules — set a recurring lock window once and it locks and unlocks on its own No subscription. No paywall on core features. A short ad plays before an unlock request is sent — that friction is the whole product. PRIVACY Your screen time data never leaves your device. LockPact only syncs lock status and unlock requests — never which apps you use, when you use them, or how long. Built for adults who want to spend less time on their phones — together.

Every blocker has the same flaw: a cancel button. When the urge hits, you tap "end session" and you're scrolling again. Bunkr removes the button. LOCKED STAYS LOCKED Pick your apps. Set a duration. That's it — no cancel, no "just five minutes," no talking your way out. The lock ends when the timer ends. EARN YOUR WAY OUT Want out early? Do something real. Push-ups. A picture of the open sky. Make your bed. Find an item and photograph it. Bunkr's AI verifies your proof in seconds — and it refuses fakes. No proof, no unlock. SET IT AND FORGET IT Recurring schedules lock your worst hours automatically — mornings, study blocks, wind-down. A Live Activity on your lock screen shows the countdown. A strict, limited override window exists for real emergencies. It's an exit, not a loophole. HONEST NUMBERS Every completed lock is credited only if you actually held it. Your activity tab shows hours earned, not hours claimed. Streak shields forgive one slip — the stats never lie for you. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Apple's Screen Time framework seals your app data on your device — Bunkr cannot see what you use. Mission photos are verified once and discarded, never stored. No tracking, no ads, ever. BUNKR PRO SUBSCRIPTION Bunkr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $29.99 per year with a 3 day free trial, or $5.99 per week. App blocking, AI verified missions and hard lock sessions require an active subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.
