Lock in.
Get your
time back.

Block the apps and websites that pull you away: right now, on a schedule, or after a daily limit. Make it Strict, and there’s no way out until the time is up.

For the moment, the routine and the habit.

Lock in now: pick 15 minutes to 2 hours, what to block and how strict

One tap, pick how long, and your distractions are gone until the timer runs out.

As firm as
you need it to be.

TimeoutTo end early, wait 10 seconds and confirm. Enough to break the reflex.

Questions

How does Lockin’s price compare to Opal and other blockers?

Lockin Pro is $14.99 a year, $2.99 a month or $39.99 for life. On the US App Store, Opal lists $99.99 a year, Freedom $39.99 and one sec $19.99. Brainrot starts at $19.99 a year with no free plan or trial, and ScreenZen is free with optional tips. See the full comparison.

Can I get around a Strict block?

Not from inside Lockin. iOS always lets the person holding the phone turn off Screen Time access for an app in Settings, and no blocker can prevent that. Strict is built to make giving in take real effort.

Does Lockin see which apps I use?

No. Apple’s Screen Time gives Lockin anonymous tokens for the apps you pick, and your usage stays on your iPhone. Lockin has no account and never sends your apps, websites or block names anywhere.

Which browsers does website blocking cover?

Websites are blocked in Safari and other browsers through Screen Time, including every subdomain. Turn on the Lockin Safari extension for page and keyword rules.

How do I restore or cancel Pro?

Restore on a new iPhone in Lockin › Settings › Restore purchases. Cancel a subscription in iOS Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions; Pro stays on until the period ends, and your extra blocks are paused, not deleted.
