Lockify vs Screen Time Blocker

LOCKIFY — APP BLOCKER & FOCUS TIMER You open your phone to check one thing. Ten minutes later you're on Instagram. Twenty minutes after that, TikTok. An hour gone. Nothing done. This isn't a willpower problem. It's a design problem. Every app on your phone is engineered by a team of thousands to keep you scrolling. You're fighting billion-dollar algorithms with good intentions alone. Lockify changes the game. It locks the apps you choose — for real. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. A real lock, enforced at the system level, that stays on until your session ends. No sneaking. No cheating. Just focus. FOCUS MODE — POMODORO THE WAY IT SHOULD WORK Choose your apps. Set your duration. Hit start. Lockify locks every selected app and starts your countdown. Work in focused sprints — 25, 40, or 60 minutes, whatever fits your brain. Take short or long breaks between sessions. Your apps stay locked through breaks too, because we know exactly what happens the moment you unlock them. When your session ends, see how long you focused, how many sessions you completed, and what your current streak looks like. Then decide: keep going, or call it a great day. LOCK MODE — HOURS, DAYS, YOUR CALL Sometimes you need more than a work session. Sometimes you need to lock Twitter for a week. Or Instagram for the entire weekend. Or every social app until you finish that project. Lock Mode lets you set a lock for any duration — from one hour to seven full days. The lock stays active even if you close Lockify, restart your phone, or reinstall the app. It lives at the operating system level. It means business. Want to unlock early? You can. But you'll have to confirm it deliberately, and Lockify will record it. Accountability is part of the product. POMODORO TIMER — BUILT FOR REAL SESSIONS The classic Pomodoro technique works, and Lockify builds on it. Set your session length, your short break, your long break, and how many sessions before a long break kicks in. Everything adapts to how you actually work — not how productivity gurus think you should. The timer runs in the background. Your phone stays locked, your apps stay blocked, and the clock keeps ticking. STREAKS & STATISTICS — NUMBERS THAT MOTIVATE What gets measured gets done. Lockify tracks everything: Daily focus minutes Weekly totals and trends Monthly progress charts Session completion rate Your longest streak ever Average session length Check your stats after a productive day and feel proud. Use them as fuel after a rough week. The numbers are honest — and honesty drives real change. PRESETS — ONE TAP TO LOCK IN You have a morning deep work routine. An afternoon study block. An evening wind-down. Stop rebuilding them from scratch every single time. Save any session as a preset — apps to block, duration, break settings, everything. Give it a name. Next time, one tap and you're locked in. Your best configurations, always one tap away. BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS If you have ADHD, you already know: knowing you should focus and actually focusing are two completely different things. The standard advice — "just put your phone down" — doesn't work when your brain is wired to seek novelty every thirty seconds. Lockify creates the external structure your brain needs. When an app is locked, the dopamine loop is broken before it starts. There's nothing to open. Nothing to scroll. The decision has already been made — you made it when you started your session, at your best, before the distraction even had a chance. Thousands of people with ADHD use Lockify every day to study, work, write, code, and create. Not because they fixed their brains. Because they stopped fighting them and gave themselves the right tools. Lockify uses Apple's Screen Time API to enforce blocks at the OS level. Your data stays on your device. No account required.

Take control of your screen time with Otama, an app blocker, focus timer, social media limiter, and digital wellbeing companion designed to help you use your phone with intention. Instead of instantly opening distracting apps, Otama adds a thoughtful pause before they launch. Brain Games act as your shield between you and your distraction, giving you a real opportunity to decide whether using them is worth your time. Rather than relying on simple app blocks that are easy to disable, Otama makes access a deliberate choice. Choose the apps you want to control, select an unlock challenge, adjust the difficulty, and decide how long you can use an app after completing it. Daily screen time allowances let you set a shared limit across locked apps or create individual limits for each one. Unlock durations have limited daily uses, so every session becomes a more intentional decision. When you finish using an app early, Otama can return your unused time to Saved Allowance. Use that saved time later when it matters most, rewarding intentional use instead of encouraging longer sessions. After each unlocked session, an optional cooldown temporarily locks the app again, helping prevent repeated open-close-reopen habits that often lead to unnecessary screen time. #Features • Block distracting apps with customizable unlock challenges • Set daily screen time limits for individual apps or groups of apps • Choose how long each unlock lasts with limited daily unlocks • Recover unused time with Saved Allowance • Add cooldown periods between sessions to discourage repeated checking • Create Routines for work, study, mornings, evenings, or bedtime • Start Focus Sessions with customizable timers and distraction-free app blocking • Use Urge Support for short guided exercises when you're tempted to open an app • Track attempts, resisted urges, intentional unlocks, time saved, and weekly trends • Switch between Casual Mode for flexibility or Committed Mode for stronger accountability • Adaptive app screen limits, let otama study your usage and help you reduce your screen time Otama is built for students who want to study without constant interruptions, professionals protecting deep work, creators trying to stay present, parents building healthier phone habits, and anyone tired of opening social media without thinking. It isn't about abandoning useful apps or chasing the lowest screen time possible. It's about creating enough friction to pause, make a conscious choice, and spend your attention where it matters most.
