LOCKIFY โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ and honesty drives real change. PRESETS โ 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 โ 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 โ "just put your phone down" โ 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 โ 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. Download Lockify. Block the apps. Do the work. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
NAGE

Pick up your phone and find yourself in the same feed half an hour later? NAGE turns those minutes into a language. A paid subscription is required to use NAGE (Focus or Pro, auto-renewing). Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Choose the apps that distract you. NAGE locks them with Screen Time. Finish today's short lesson and the lock opens: you get 45 minutes in those apps. When the time is used up, the lock comes back, and a new lesson opens another 45 minutes. Every day starts locked. HOW IT WORKS โข You choose which apps and categories to lock, and you can change the list at any time. โข Tap the button on the lock screen and a notification takes you straight to today's lesson. โข A lesson takes a few minutes: new words, listening, a quiz and review. โข Your earned time only counts down while you use the apps you locked. We'll let you know 5 minutes before it runs out. โข You can change how long apps stay open in Settings. LESSONS โข Spanish and French with explanations in English, starting at beginner (A1) level. โข Turkish speakers can also learn English, with explanations in Turkish. โข Spaced repetition brings back the words you're about to forget at the right time. โข Short grammar notes and reading passages. โข Listening practice with spoken words. โข Optional speaking practice: record yourself and listen back. Recordings never leave your device. โข Take the placement test to start at the right point. SEE YOUR PROGRESS โข Your streak, the words you've learned and the access minutes you've earned. โข The monthly trend of your real usage in the apps you locked (iOS Screen Time data, kept on your phone). PRIVACY The list of apps you choose and your device's usage data never leave your phone. An account is optional: sign in to sync your progress across devices. You can delete your account from inside the app at any time. SUBSCRIPTION (PURCHASE REQUIRED) All features above require a paid Focus or Pro subscription. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. โข Focus (paid subscription): app lock, ready-made lessons and progress tracking. โข Pro (separate, higher-priced paid subscription): everything in Focus, plus daily AI-built lessons and extra practice based on your weak spots. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
