ForkLock: Meal Timer & App Blocker
Put your phone down and enjoy your food. ForkLock locks distracting apps during meals using Screen Time so you can eat
without scrolling. Set a timer, block apps, and build the habit of phone-free meals.
We check our phones 58 times a day. Many of those happen during meals. ForkLock helps you take back mealtime with a
simple countdown timer that blocks the apps pulling your attention away.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick a meal. Set a timer. Your apps get blocked until the timer ends. That's it. ForkLock uses Apple Screen Time to
block distracting apps while keeping essentials like Phone and Messages available. When the meal is done, everything
unlocks automatically.
