LockIn: App Blocker

LockIn: App Blocker — Think Before You Scroll

LockIn is an app blocker that makes you answer a quick quiz before opening distracting apps.

Instead of simply blocking an app, LockIn adds a moment of friction between the impulse to open it and actually using it.

How LockIn works

1. Choose the apps you want to control.
2. Start a blocking session.
3. Try to open a blocked app.
4. LockIn shows you a quick question.
5. Answer correctly to unlock the app.

The goal is simple: pause before you scroll.

Why LockIn?
- Most app blockers simply stop you from opening distracting apps.

LockIn takes a different approach.

When you automatically reach for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, or another distracting app, you have to stop and answer a question first.

That small interruption can help you become more intentional about why you're opening the app.

Use LockIn to:
• Reduce social media use
• Stop mindless scrolling
• Stay focused while studying
• Stay productive while working
• Reduce distracting app usage
• Build better phone habits
• Create intentional screen-time habits

Quiz-Based App Blocking
Your blocked apps don't simply disappear. When you try to open one, LockIn challenges you with a question.

Answer correctly and continue.

Get it wrong? Try again.

The goal isn't to punish you. It's to make you pause and decide whether you really want to open the app.

Privacy
LockIn does not collect personal data.

The app uses Android Accessibility permission to detect when a selected app is opened and Display Over Other Apps permission to show the LockIn quiz.

These permissions are used to provide the app-blocking and quiz functionality.
