New: daily limits. Give your apps a budget — once it's spent, they lock till tomorrow. Plus streaks, and a calmer look throughout.
Your phone works for you now.
Deadbolt locks away the apps that eat your day — whatever your poison is — for exactly as long as you choose. Turn the dial, tap "Bolt it," and they're gone until the timer runs out.
NO WILLPOWER REQUIRED
That's the point. When you try to open a blocked app, Deadbolt turns you away — with a dry one-liner instead of a lecture.
SESSIONS THAT DON'T NEGOTIATE
Strict mode means you can't quit on a whim. To leave early, you wait out a ten-minute cooldown — or walk 200 steps. Long enough to change your mind. You usually do.
A DAILY BUDGET
Give your blocked apps a daily limit. Once it's spent, they stay locked until tomorrow. And easing a limit only takes effect the next day — so you can't talk yourself into more at midnight.
BLOCKS THAT RUN THEMSELVES
Lock the same hours every day: nights, work mornings, study blocks. They run automatically, even when Deadbolt is closed. Make one strict and it can't be switched off while it's running.
SEE WHAT YOU GET BACK
The hours you've reclaimed. A streak for every day you finish a session. And an honest look at the hour you're weakest.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone. Deadbolt is built on Apple's Screen Time framework — it can hide your apps, but it can never see them.
