Turn your phone addiction into your superpower! This playful, pixel-art habit tracker helps you reduce screen time, stay focused, and build healthy routines you’ll actually stick with. Complete habits to earn coins, then use those coins to unlock your distracting apps. If you don’t complete enough habits… those apps stay blocked. It’s simple, powerful, and surprisingly fun. How it works - Block distracting apps you want to use less - Choose healthy habits from categories like Health, Focus, Home & more - Earn coins by completing your habits throughout the day - Spend coins to unlock screen time using the built-in timer Why it works This app uses a proven behavioral approach: Do something good → earn what you want. It transforms screen time into a reward, not a default. Playful Retro Design Everything is rendered in charming pixel art - icons, animations, characters, even the fonts. Building habits feels like playing a retro game. Features - Daily & one-time habit creation - Habit templates ready to use - Custom habits with rewards - Streak tracking - Built-in break timer - App blocking Make progress in real life and earn the screen time you want.

This app is AWESOME!!! As someone who has struggled with ADHD symptoms and tendencies, having a screen time app that rewards me is excellent. I did not like the previous methods of BloCk AnD NeVAh UsE AgA!n!!!This method has me earn my screen time by completing tasks, including things I want to do, so I don’t procrastinate and feel like I wasted time, but also get to use screen time guilt-freeNow there are some bugs I spotted that need a tune up (especially on the phone version), but this app is awesome so far. So excited for upcoming updates!

It works exactly as advertised. It is a subscription but it’s only like $2 a month or $20 a year, which is really reasonable for something like this. My only slight issue is that you can’t do the same habit more than once a day, which is unfortunate. I wish you could choose how many times you can do one habit in a day. Other than that, it works really well and has a lot of cool features.

I love this app but the font is so pixelated and not easy on the eyes. Please give an option for a smooth font.

The app SEEMS good at first, but it ends up not working well. My current problem is that when you buy screen time, it doesn’t let you access your apps. Also, when you go to the emergency break, the same happens. It might just be on my end, but neither the app settings, app restrictions, or even the actual settings app can fully turn off the app locking. The AI on the camera also works terribly and it takes multiple minutes to figure out that I’m holding a book.

I‘m sorry to hear about your experience. I have never heard of this issue from anyone else before and if not even the settings on your phone change the behavior it seems like it is an issue on your end. Apple‘s settings normally override any other app that is restricting. So if you set up app blocking in screen time settings that might be the issue. I would still love to hear more about it to actively prevent this from happening to others and to help get your situation sorted. I am aware of the book recognition not being perfect and I am working on a better system right now. Thank you for your feedback as it helps to improve the app. If you would like to have a chat about your issues, send me a dm on social media or write a mail to lockedinnapp@gmail.com so we can find a solution for you :)
