Loky
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loky is a cosy cafΓ© for your focus, and a lock for the apps that steal it. Stop doomscrolling, block social media and get your time back. Take a seat at Loky's cafΓ© to start a focus session. Pick a table, choose study, work, reading or a workout, and say how long you're staying. The apps you chose stay locked until you stand up. Finish your visit and you get a receipt, XP and a stamp on your streak. FOCUS SESSIONS THAT ACTUALLY LOCK Loky uses Apple's Screen Time to put a real lock screen over distracting apps, not a reminder you can swipe away. POMODORO ROUNDS Work in rounds of 25 or 50 minutes. Your apps open during the break and lock again when the next round starts. BLOCKERS YOUR WAY Block your doomscroll apps all day, on a schedule, or after a daily limit. Start from a preset like Work focus, Mindful morning, Dinner time or Touch grass, and keep your productive apps open. A DAILY LIMIT Set how much screen time feels healthy, or let Loky build a plan from your answers and bring it down week by week. When you hit it, your apps lock. Your house rules decide how strict that is: a gentle nudge, one pause a day, or no way around it. BEDTIME LOCK Tell Loky when you go to bed and your apps go to sleep an hour before, so you actually wind down. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Your screen time, pickups and top offending apps, right on Home, plus weekly stats on how much focus you've won back. STREAKS AND LEVELS Every finished visit earns XP. Keep your streak going and level up to unlock new seats in the cafΓ©, from the window table to the booth. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Apple's Screen Time keeps your app usage private. Loky never sees which apps you picked or what you do in them. LOKY PRO Loky Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed weekly or yearly.
