Lockify vs ScrollPause

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.

ScrollPause puts one moment of friction between you and the app you open without meaning to. Pick the apps that pull you in. The next time you open one, a pause screen appears first. It tells you which app you are opening and what time it is, and asks whether you really meant to. Tap "I'll pass" and the app closes. Tap through twice and you get five minutes, then the pause comes back. That is the whole idea. No streaks, no lectures, no shame. LOCK SCROLLPAUSE ITSELF WITH A PIN Every screen-time tool has the same weak point: the moment you decide to switch it off. Usually that moment arrives late at night, and it wins. Set a four-digit PIN and ScrollPause asks for it before it opens. Your quiet hours, your paused apps, your settings — none of it can be changed by whoever is holding the phone. Including you, at 1am. • The PIN is asked when the app opens, and again after thirty seconds away • Five wrong tries and the waiting starts: thirty seconds, then five minutes, then fifteen, then an hour • Moving the phone's clock forward does not shorten that wait • The app switcher preview is covered, so a glance at your phone shows nothing • Forgot it? A twelve-character recovery code, saved when you set the PIN and readable again from Settings whenever you want What the PIN honestly does and does not do: it guards ScrollPause. It cannot stop anyone from deleting the app, or from switching Screen Time off in iPhone Settings — no app on iOS can do that, and any app that says otherwise is selling you something. WHAT ELSE YOU GET • A pause screen in front of the apps you choose, drawn by iOS itself • Two taps to get in, so going in is a decision rather than a reflex • A count of how often you paused and how often you walked away • A weekly summary in plain words: when you reach for your phone most, which day was hardest, how you compare to last week • A home-screen widget with the minutes you kept today SCROLLPAUSE PRO • Lock the app with a PIN • Pause up to 50 apps instead of 3 • Quiet hours: the hours where there is no five-minute pass at all • Every past week, not just this one Pro is a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. There is no free trial that renews behind your back. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-in. No server. No ads. No analytics. No third-party code of any kind. The apps you choose are handled by Apple's Screen Time system, which hands ScrollPause an anonymous token for each one — a value the app cannot read or turn back into a name. Your counts live in a database on your iPhone. Your PIN is stored as a one-way hash in the iOS Keychain and never leaves the device. Delete the app and all of it goes with it.
