LingoLock: Earn Screen Time
Block Apps, Learn Vocabulary
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Spending 4 hours on TikTok? Make it count. Learn a new word with every minute you scroll. 240 words a day, just from doing what you already do.
1 word = 1 minute of scrolling. Block your apps, learn vocabulary to unlock them. Fix your brainrot by earning every scroll. That's it.
LingoLock blocks the apps you choose. Instagram, TikTok, X, whatever distracts you. Want to open them? Learn a word first. Every word you get right gives you 1 minute of screen time. Spend your earned minutes, scroll freely, and come back to learn more when time runs out.
No willpower needed. Just a simple deal. Learn a word, earn a minute.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a language you want to learn
2. Block the apps that waste your time
3. Open a blocked app and LingoLock's shield appears
4. Start a session. 10 words, pick the right translation from 4 options
5. Every correct answer = 1 minute added to your time bank
6. Spend 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes on your favorite apps
7. Time's up? Learn more, scroll more.
YOUR TIME BANK
Your screen time is a currency. See your balance on the home screen. Earn it word by word, spend it scroll by scroll. Choose how much time to spend and LingoLock temporarily unlocks your apps. When time runs out, the shield comes back.
LEARN A LANGUAGE WITHOUT A TEXTBOOK
LingoLock uses spaced repetition, a proven method that makes words stick. Here's how:
- Get a word wrong? It comes back until you know it
- Get a word right 3 times in a row? It's mastered
- LingoLock adapts to your level. Words get harder as you improve
- Short sessions, real progress. 10 words at a time, whenever you want
You'll build real vocabulary just by earning your daily scroll.
7 LANGUAGES
Learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, and Ukrainian. More languages coming soon.
THE LINGOLOCK SHIELD
Every time you try to open a blocked app, LingoLock's shield shows up right on top. It shows your current time bank balance and gives you two choices. Start learning or spend your earned time. You're always one tap away from either.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
- Time bank balance. See exactly how many minutes you've earned
- Daily streak. Keep it going, day after day
- Words mastered. Watch your vocabulary grow
- Today's progress. See how many words you've learned today
BUILT DIFFERENT
LingoLock isn't a focus timer or another screen time blocker. It's a deal with yourself. The more you learn, the more you get to scroll. You're not punishing yourself with willpower. You're investing in yourself. Every minute of scrolling is a minute you earned by learning a language.
Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone tired of doomscrolling who wants something to show for their screen time.
