LearnLock turns the time you lose to your phone into time you learn something real. Pick any topic: a class, a certification, a language, a book, a skill you've always wanted to pick up. LearnLock's AI builds you a personalized study plan with bite-sized daily lessons, quizzes, and fill-in-the-blank practice designed around how memory actually works. A few minutes a day, every day, adds up faster than you think. Then comes the part that makes it stick: Focus Mode. Using Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls, LearnLock locks your most distracting apps (social media, games, video, or whatever derails you) until you finish today's study session. Study first. Scroll later. WHAT MAKES LEARNLOCK DIFFERENT • A personal AI tutor. Generate a full study plan from a topic, a syllabus, a PDF, or even photos of your notes or textbook. • Built on spaced learning. Short daily sessions beat cramming. Your retention improves week over week instead of fading in days. • Fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and explanations. Answers are graded and explained, not just marked right or wrong. • Focus Mode with real teeth. Choose which apps get locked during study time. Break them down only by earning your session. • Streaks that reward real effort. See your days compound. Miss a day and you'll feel it, because you're supposed to. • Deadline-aware planning. Got a test on the 14th? LearnLock paces your lessons to hit the date. • Confidence + level aware. Tell it what you already know. It won't waste your time re-teaching it. • Private by design. Your plans and progress stay on your device. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, we don't track you. WHO IT'S FOR • Students prepping for exams, finals, or certifications • Self-learners picking up a new skill, subject, or language • Anyone who feels like their phone is stealing hours from them and wants those hours back • People who want to learn a little every day, for real, not just in theory HOW IT WORKS Tell LearnLock what you want to learn. Paste a syllabus, upload a PDF, or snap photos of your notes. AI builds your plan. Daily sessions are generated based on your deadline, level, and confidence. Study first, unlock second. Focus Mode blocks distracting apps until you finish today's session. Keep showing up. Your streak grows. So does your knowledge. Win back the time your phone has been taking, and become someone who actually learned the thing. LearnLock. Study first. Scroll later. LearnLock is a product of Builado LLC.

Proc turns "I'll study later" into "I studied." Pick the apps that derail you, set your assignments, and Proc keeps those apps locked until you've actually made progress on your work — checked by AI, not the honor system. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your assignments — type them in or import them straight from Canvas. 2. Choose the apps to block (social media, short-video apps, games — your call). 3. Do the work and submit it. Proc's AI reads your submission and scores how complete it is against the assignment. 4. Hit your daily progress goal and your apps unlock. Fall behind and they stay locked. AI-VERIFIED PROGRESS, NOT A HONOR SLIDER Your progress isn't a number you drag — it's earned. Proc uses Google's Gemini AI to judge how far along your real work is, so the apps you unlock reflect work you actually did. It checks completeness and whether you're on-topic; it never just hands you the answers. A DAILY PACE THAT'S ACTUALLY DOABLE Proc spreads each assignment across the days you have before it's due, so you get a fair daily target instead of a last-minute wall. Work ahead one day and you bank breathing room for the next. CANVAS, BUILT IN Connect Canvas once and your current-semester courses and assignments flow in automatically — no retyping due dates. SEE HOW YOUR CLASS IS DOING Verify your school email and the School tab shows how classmates are progressing on the same assignments — completely anonymous. No names, no leaderboards-as-shame, just a sense of where you stand. Report and block controls keep it safe. STICK TO YOUR WORD Set a commitment — how many days ahead you want to stay, whether weekends count — and Proc holds you to it. Making your blocking harder is instant; easing it takes a cooling- off period, so a moment of weakness doesn't undo your week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most of your data lives on your device. We don't use analytics or advertising SDKs and we don't track you across other apps. Your Canvas token stays in your device's Keychain. See our full Privacy Policy at theprocapp.com/privacy. Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) on your own device — Proc never manages anyone else's phone. Stop doomscrolling your deadlines away.
