About this app

Locked In helps you take back control of your phone. Block the apps stealing your attention, set focus sessions, and build habits that actually stick — one day at a time.

You know the feeling. You unlock your phone to check one thing and somehow lose 40 minutes. It's not a willpower problem. Social media, games, and streaming apps are engineered to keep you hooked. Locked In levels the playing field by removing the choice entirely.

BLOCK ANY APP

Choose which apps to block and lock them behind a PIN. Social media, games, streaming — anything that's pulling you away from what matters. Blocked means blocked. No sneaking around.

Block Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, Snapchat, or any app you choose. Works with all Android apps. If it's on your phone, you can block it.

FOCUS SESSIONS

Run a classic Pomodoro session (25 min work, 5 min break) or set your own duration and loop it until the work is done. No fluff. Just a distraction blocker that stays out of your way and helps you stay focused.

SCHEDULE BLOCKS

Set apps to automatically block at specific times. Block social media every morning. Mute games during study hours. Set it once and forget it — your personal phone blocker running silently in the background.

You're not fighting your phone every day. The schedule does it for you.

PIN + BIOMETRIC PROTECTION

Your blocks are locked behind a PIN and fingerprint. This isn't a gentle productivity tool that trusts you to follow through. It's a strict app blocker. You set the rules, it enforces them — no exceptions, no whim-disabling.

If you forget your PIN, a one-time email code gets you back in. No lockouts.

STATS & STREAKS (Pro)

See your weekly focus chart, sessions completed, longest streak, and which app steals the most of your time. Use it as a screen time tracker to find out where your hours actually go — then block what's eating them.

Build a daily habit and watch the streak grow. Even short sessions compound over weeks.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET (Pro)

Start a session from your home screen. Switch between presets without opening the app. One tap, locked in.

FOCUS PRESETS (Pro)

Save your favourite session setups — deep work, study sprints, quick blocks. Load them instantly and get to work.

THEMES

Dark mode by default. Or go full Matrix — falling code, terminal buttons, glitch text. More dropping soon.

LOCKED IN PRO — $4.99

One-time purchase. No subscription. No renewal. Ever.

Unlocks stats and streaks, home screen widget, focus presets, custom block message, and all themes — current and future.

Just want no ads? That's $2, separately.

WHO IT'S FOR

Students who can't stop checking their phone mid-study. Remote workers who keep losing hours to Instagram. Anyone doing a digital detox and needing something that actually holds the line. People who've tried every other app blocker and found them too easy to bypass.

If willpower alone hasn't worked — this is built for you.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Locked In uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect which app is in the foreground. It's the only way Android lets third-party apps enforce blocking reliably. The service does not read screen content, capture keystrokes, record audio, or collect any personal data. You can turn it off anytime via Settings → Accessibility.

PRIVACY
No account. No data collected. No tracking. Everything stays on your device.
