Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop scrolling. Lock in. Lock In League turns focus into a ranked competition. Start a session, get matched against a rival at your level, and try to outwork them in real time. Most focus apps treat productivity like meditation. This one treats it like a sport. HOW IT WORKS Pick a duration. Pick a task. The match starts. You and your opponent both have HP. Distractions drain it. The longer you stay locked in, the more damage you deal. Highest Deep Work Score at the end takes the match. Win matches, climb the ladder. Lose them, drop ranks. NO FORCED BREAKS This is not a pomodoro app. No 25-minute interruptions. No rest phase that kills your flow right when you finally got into it. You work until the match ends. Built for real deep work, coding, writing, studying, anything that takes more than 25 minutes to load into your head. THE LADDER Climb through Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Master. Ranks reset every season. Where you finish says something real about how you actually spent the last three months. WHY IT WORKS Solo focus timers stop working after week two. The novelty dies and the streak turns into homework. A real opponent, a real outcome, and a rank that can drop changes the math. You show up because something is on the line. WHAT YOU GET - Ranked matches against rivals at your skill level - Deep Work Score tracked across every session - HP system that punishes phone-checking - Continuous focus sessions with no forced breaks - Task-based sessions for study, work, coding, writing, anything - Seasonal ladder with rank decay - Full match history and focus stats PRICING Lock In League is a paid app. Your first ranked session is free so you can feel how the matchmaking and outcome system play. Full access requires a subscription after that. No ads. No data resold. No fake free trial that auto-charges you. WHO IT IS FOR Students grinding for exams. Builders shipping side projects. Writers, coders, traders, anyone with a real goal who keeps drifting from it. People who liked Forest and Focus Keeper but want to keep playing past month two. WHO IT IS NOT FOR If you want a calm meditation timer with rain sounds, this is not that. Lock In League is closer to a competitive game than a wellness app. Privacy policy: https://lockinleague.github.io/privacy-policy/ Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Lock in. Climb the ladder.
