LOXN

Stop killing time before time kills you. Our generation is cooked. We spend hours every day quietly handing our lives over to algorithms designed to keep us infinitely scrolling. You've already tried to cut back, and you've failed. That's why we built LOXN. LOXN is the strict app blocker that genuinely doesn't let you cheat. No 30-second delay timers, no easy bypass popups, no passcode workarounds. Set the rule once, and LOXN enforces it, even when willpower doesn't. WHY LOXN WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL: ⢠Actually Strict System-Level Blocks: Real OS-level blocking, not a VPN overlay. The app genuinely cannot be opened. Blocked is blocked, full stop. ⢠The Auto-Relock Enforcer: Unlocked an app to quickly post or reply? Set a custom relock timer (1 to 10 minutes) and LOXN catches you before you fall into the scroll, relocking automatically when time's up. ⢠Unlock Cooldowns: Set a cooldown window between unlocks (5 to 15 minutes), so by the time you can get back in, you've already started doing something else. ⢠Your Unlock, Your Way: Unlock with an NFC card or tag, with Face ID, or with a press-and-hold button. Make it exactly as strict as you need. ⢠Focus Mode: Start a timed deep-work session and your distractions stay locked until it ends. No early exits, no "just five minutes." ⢠Morning Lock: Keep your feeds locked when you wake up, so you get up and get going before you get online. ⢠Scroll Myself to Sleep: A controlled wind-down window before bed, then everything locks again automatically. Once per night, so it stays a wind-down and not a loophole. ⢠Creator Mode: Need to actually post, not scroll? A temporary, partial unlock for the apps you create in: publish, reply, and get out. ⢠Streaks: Set a daily budget for time in your blocked apps. Stay under it and your streak grows. A month-at-a-glance calendar shows every day you held the line, and monthly freezes cover the days life gets in the way. ⢠True Emergency Friction: Exactly 3 emergency unlocks per month, 2 hours each. Real emergencies only. ⢠Total Data Privacy: Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no email required. All logic runs locally, and LOXN never learns which apps you block. LOXN requires a subscription: unlimited apps, website and category blocking, and every mode above. Available weekly, monthly, or annually, each with a 3-day free trial. Stop wasting years of your life. Reclaim your focus, protect your mental well-being, and stay locked in. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
