Social media companies hire neuroscientists to keep you scrolling. Locked In gives you a way to fight back — not with willpower, but with the people you trust.
HOW IT WORKS
The Guardian System
Choose someone you trust — a friend, partner, coworker, or family member. They become your Guardian. When you try to unblock a distracting app, your Guardian gets a text message and decides whether to approve or deny your request. Most users never even send the request. The friction of asking is the feature.
Red Zones
Set geographic locations — your office, gym, school, or library — where distracting apps automatically lock. Walk in, apps lock. Walk out, they unlock. No buttons, no daily decisions. The environment makes the choice for you.
Focus Schedule
Block apps by time, not by mood. Set a morning deep-work window or distraction-free evenings. Apps lock on your schedule and unlock when you decide — not when the craving hits.
Friction Challenges
Before you can access a blocked app, solve three math problems, type a phrase exactly, or request your Guardian's permission. The impulse dies before you finish. That's the point.
WHAT EARLY USERS REPORT
The most common feedback isn't "the app blocked X minutes of usage." It's "I don't know where the time came from, but I have my evenings back." Built by a founder who got hours of focused time back each day. Your mileage will vary, but most testers report meaningful change within two weeks.
Works for any trusted accountability — friends, partners, coworkers, family.
