Read full description

LockIt is a self-control app designed for the moments when study, focus, or sleep routines start to slip. You can use every feature without limits, and pause only the apps, categories, and websites you choose so a drifting moment does not turn into a lost hour. When you need to stop now, Quick Lock lets you cut off distractions in a few taps. When the same weak hours keep returning, Pattern Lock helps you secure them in advance. Screen Time-based reports show when your focus breaks, which apps pull you away, and how your habits shift over time, so you can reset your rules with more clarity. LockIt is not built to pressure or over-control you. It is built to help you act on the boundaries you set for yourself and keep them steady. Core features - Quick Lock: Pause selected distractions the moment temptation hits. - Pattern Lock: Schedule recurring lock windows for study sessions, bedtime, or other vulnerable hours. - Usage reports: Review total time, top apps, and category patterns to refine your focus habits. - App removal protection: Reduce the chance of breaking your routine during an active lock. Great for moments like these 1. You want to protect a study block before distractions spread. 2. You want to reduce screen time before sleep. 3. You want recurring rules for the hours when self-control is weakest. 4. You want reports that help you adjust your routines instead of guessing. LockIt applies locks only to targets the user explicitly selects. It does not monitor all foreground activity, control the entire device, or position itself as parental control. It works within Apple's Screen Time APIs to help users follow through on study, sleep, and focus boundaries more consistently.
