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.

A real browser for Watch. Most watch browsers hand you a list of links, or stream pictures of your phone's screen. Watch Browser fetches each page on the watch and lays it out there: headings, paragraphs, photos with captions, lists, quotes, tables and tappable links, in type sized for a small screen. BROWSING • Whole pages, text and images together, laid out for the watch instead of squeezed sideways • Search by dictation, scribble or keyboard, with suggestions as you type • Tap any link to follow it, swipe from the left edge to go back • Turn the Digital Crown to scroll; long-press for reload, text size, reader mode, bookmarks and Open on iPhone • Tuned views for the things people check on a watch: search results, Wikipedia, Hacker News, weather and RSS feeds • Works on its own over Wi-Fi or cellular — your iPhone can stay in your pocket • When a page can't exist without JavaScript, it says so and offers you a feed or your iPhone instead, rather than a blank screen ON YOUR IPHONE The companion app is a full browser in its own right, with your bookmarks grouped by category, your history, and a tap to send any page to your wrist. Bookmarks and history sync both ways. ON YOUR WATCH FACE Add a complication to jump straight into search, or to your most recent bookmark.
