Lockin turns focus into a game. Pick a category - work, study, sport, reading - choose the apps that distract you, and lock your phone. For as long as the session runs they are out of reach. The timer runs, the XP climbs. Leaving early is always possible, but you have to earn it: three challenges to pass. Enough to make you think twice, never enough to trap you. WHAT YOU CONTROL • The blocked apps, picked per session or kept as presets • The length, open-ended or set in advance • Routines: choose the apps, the days and the hours, and the block starts on its own • A one-line intention, readable on the lock screen WHAT YOU EARN • XP for every session you hold, and ranks that climb all the way to Legend • Daily tasks you write yourself, ticked off for a little extra XP • Streaks to keep alive, day after day WHAT YOU SEE • Today's screen time on the home screen, with the five apps behind it • Your weekly goal against what actually happened, and what the block held back • The categories you have let slide, restarted in one tap • Widgets for your week, your streak, your rank and your next routine WITH OTHERS • Add friends by code and compare your stats • A Ranking tab: your friends, the podium, your place • Share your own code to bring friends in Lockin speaks English and French, and the language can be changed inside the app. SUBSCRIPTION Lockin is a subscription: $59.99 per year with a 3-day free trial, $12.99 per month, or $7.99 per week. Prices may vary by region. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://yoyz-build.github.io/lockin-legal/conditions.html Privacy Policy: https://yoyz-build.github.io/lockin-legal/confidentialite.html Lockin relies on Apple's Screen Time to block apps. Everything happens on your phone: the list of apps you block never leaves the device and is never sent to us. The screen time panel is drawn by an Apple extension - those numbers stay on your iPhone too.
