Lockify vs Pact

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.

Scroll Less. Achieve More. pact puts a wall of deliberate friction in front of the apps that eat your day. You keep the apps. You just stop losing hours to them. HOW IT WORKS Open a restricted app and pact stops you first. It asks how long you actually plan to use it, starts a countdown, then locks the app the moment your time runs out. No willpower needed — just one decision, made before the scrolling starts. SESSION LIMITS • Set an intention before every single session • Apps lock themselves when your timer ends • A cool-down keeps them locked afterwards • Daily unlock budgets that reset at midnight HARD MODE Switch off early unlocks completely. With Hard Mode on there is no "just five more minutes" — you commit once, and pact holds the line for you. SCHEDULES Block distracting apps during the hours that matter. Start with Morning Clarity, Deep Focus and Good Night's Rest, or build your own windows on the days you choose. APP LIMITS Give every app a daily time budget — 30 minutes for social, an hour for video. Everything resets at midnight, automatically. STREAKS & INSIGHTS Watch your unlocks fall week after week. Build a day streak for every day you finish under your goal, and see exactly where your time went. PRIVATE BY DESIGN pact is built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. Your app usage is analysed on your device and never leaves it. No account to create, no tracking, no data sold to anyone. WHY PEOPLE USE PACT • Take back your mornings instead of scrolling in bed • Stay in deep work without reaching for your phone • Break the late-night scroll and actually sleep • Cut social media right down without deleting a single app The average person checks their phone more than 150 times a day, and needs 23 minutes to refocus after every interruption. pact gives that time back to you.
