RelockIn vs Paradox

Remove Shorts, Reels, ads, and other distractions from YouTube, Instagram, and more. Plus, set up time limits for any app or website, so you put your phone down when you mean to, not three hours later. RelockIn is a web browser AND screen time app, for people serious about reclaiming their time. It lets you customize social media and YouTube to cut out the addictive stuff and keep only the parts you want. Then, protect your focus with time limits for apps and websites, to make every minute of scrolling intentional. FEATURES • Timed unlock sessions - set a time goal before visiting a blocked app or website. Get pulled out when it's done. • Schedules - protect your sleep, focus, or work times by making it hard or impossible to open distracting apps. • Hide YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more • Block clickbait and endless algorithmic feeds • Hide social media posts from people you don't follow. Remove ragebait, ads, and AI slop. • Protect your setup with custom challenges - like doing math, typing a paragraph, entering a password, or sending an embarrassing accountability email to a friend. • Private and safe. No AI, no ads. The RelockIn browser blocks trackers and we never sell or upload your browsing data. • Active Discord community where you can request new features DEFANG THE WEB 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. RelockIn lets you flip the script: you can customize websites to make them boring, functional, and easy to put down. Choose from over 40 options across top sites including YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. RELOCKIN WORKS BETTER Other screen time apps rely on willpower or rigid blocks you end up switching off. RelockIn adds just enough friction: every time you open a distracting app, you choose how long you'll stay. When time's up, you're out. Want more? Start a new session on purpose. That small pause breaks the dopamine loop, so every minute you spend is YOUR choice, not the algorithm's. 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.

You meant to read a book tonight. You opened your phone to check one thing. That was ninety minutes ago. Paradox puts a guardian between you and the apps that take the most, and gives the time you win back to something worth reading. GUARD THE APPS THAT PULL YOU IN Pick the apps, whole categories and websites you would rather not open, and the hours they are off limits. The wall goes up and comes down on schedule, even while Paradox is closed. Two rules come ready to use on weekdays, a block from 9 to 5 and a 45-minute daily limit, and both are yours to rewrite. A PAUSE BEFORE YOU GIVE IN Open a guarded app and the Paradox shield is there first. If you really do need in, you ask from inside Paradox: your guardian stands in the way, you wait out a short countdown, and you choose 2, 5 or 15 minutes. The pass closes itself when the time is up. FOCUS SESSIONS The Focus tab starts a session: an hour of deep work, half an hour, a quick fifteen minutes, or a length of your own. Your guardian rests by a campfire under the night sky, and the apps you chose stay blocked until the session ends, even while it is paused. Follow the clock on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, start a session from the Focus widget on your Home Screen, and look back on your week, month and year in the report. SOMETHING WORTH YOUR ATTENTION Grow is a library of short lessons to read or listen to, meant to leave you a little better than they found you. On the pause screen, one tap trades the pass for a read. YOUR NUMBERS, HONESTLY Where today, this week and this month actually went, app by app. Put a daily limit on your apps and watch today fill up. GUARDIANS YOU EARN Every day you keep a block on earns experience, and so does every focus session. Fill the bar to reach a new level, and each level lets you pick a new guardian or a new attack on the guardian tree. The first time you open Paradox each day, your guardian tells you what you earned. Choose the background your guardian stands in. Some of them move, with music of their own. PARADOX PREMIUM Blocking, schedules, focus sessions, statistics and the whole library need no subscription, and there are no ads. Paradox Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, that opens the premium guardians and their attacks, and the premium backgrounds. Subscribing needs an account, because the subscription belongs to your account rather than to one phone. Each plan shows its period and how it renews before you subscribe, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. YOUR PRIVACY No ads, and nothing about you is sold to anyone. The per-app times in Stats are drawn by iOS inside a sandboxed extension that cannot hand them to us. We also measure how Paradox itself gets used, and the privacy policy says exactly what that means. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Blocking, focus sessions, statistics, the library, your level and your guardians all work without signing in. Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progress on any phone, or to subscribe. Paradox needs Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) permission, because it is the only way iOS lets one app hold another back. You grant it on your device, and you can withdraw it in Settings at any time. Paradox is made by two brothers. Write to us and one of us will answer.
