Scroll less. Live more. RelockIn is a web browser AND screen time controller for people who are serious about conquering phone addiction and reclaiming their time. We're not just another app blocker - we offer you precision control over the exact features that hijack your attention. We've all been there. You open YouTube planning to watch just 1 video before you go to bed, or open Instagram to quickly check your messages. Then before you know it, hours have passed, and you're left feeling like crap. It's not an accident, and it's not your fault: tech companies have poured billions into designing the most addictive algorithms to steal as much of your time as possible. The good news? With RelockIn, you can finally fight back. We'll save you multiple hours, every day. **RelockIn works differently** Most screen time apps rely on your own willpower or hard blocks. They can be too easy to ignore or bypass, and then once you do start using a distracting app, your time gets sucked away anyways. RelockIn flips the script. Now, every time you want to use a distracting app, you need to manually unlock it by setting a goal for that session. Once your goal has elapsed, you're kicked out, and need to set a new goal if you really need to continue. That small friction completely disrupts the dopamine cycle, and makes every minute you spend on these apps based on YOUR choice, not the algorithm sucking you into a rabbit hole. **Browse the web, without distractions** RelockIn is the ONLY screen time app that is ALSO a full web browser. The RelockIn browser lets you optionally disable the web's most distracting and addictive features, like short form videos (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc), endlessly scrolling recommendation feeds, and social media posts from people you don't know. We've designed our browser to be a fully viable alternative to downloading popular media apps. And if you have requests, let us know in our Discord and we'll consider adding it as a feature. The RelockIn browser defangs the web's worst time vampires, letting you enjoy social media sites in moderation. It's not about restriction - it's about control. You decide when. You decide how long. You decide what content you see. Not the algorithm, and not the big tech CEOs. RelockIn helps you lock out distractions, and lock in to your best future.
