Lockwork is a study timer and app blocker for students who need their phone to stop negotiating. Start a study session, choose the distracting apps you want blocked, and stay locked in until the work is done. Then earn those apps back with quiz questions generated from your own notes, pasted text, or study material. Lockwork is built for exam prep, daily study routines, and students who need more than a timer to stay honest. What you can do in Lockwork: - Block distracting apps during a study session - Set a session length for focused study time - Unlock with time, quiz answers, or both - Turn notes into quiz-ready study material - Organize study material by subject - Track streaks, completed sessions, and time studied Why students use Lockwork: - It combines a study timer with real app blocking - It gives you a clear finish line for each session - It turns your own notes into quizzes for active recall - It helps you stay focused during exam prep instead of just planning to focus If you need a study app for exam prep, a focus timer that blocks apps, or a tougher way to protect your study sessions, Lockwork is built for you.
