LockedIn: Phone Management

LockedIn Technologies, LLC

About this app

LockedIn helps students stay focused by reducing phone distractions during class time. With smart locking tools and school-approved controls, LockedIn creates a healthier learning environment where students can stay present, engaged, and productive.

Designed for schools, teachers, and students, LockedIn supports phone-free or low-distraction policies by limiting access to distracting apps while still allowing access to essential tools when needed. The goal is not to punish students, but to help build better focus habits and improve attention during class.

Key Features

• Reduce access to distracting apps during school hours
• Support school phone policies and classroom focus rules
• Simple, easy-to-use interface for students
• Admin and school controls (when enabled)
• Helps improve focus, learning, and classroom engagement

LockedIn is built to support healthier tech habits, better learning outcomes, and more meaningful in-person interactions. Whether your school uses phone-free policies or structured phone use, LockedIn helps create balance between technology and learning.

Accessibility permission: LockedIn is a supervision tool used by schools and parents to keep a managed device focused during designated lock-in sessions. LockedIn uses Android's AccessibilityService to enforce these sessions — keeping the device limited to approved apps while a session is active, and ending automatically when it's over. LockedIn does not collect, store, or share the content of your screen, messages, or other apps through this permission; it is used only to apply the focus rules set by your school or parent.

Stay present. Stay focused. Get LockedIn.

Ratings and reviews

This app actually helped me stay focused a lot more than I expected. Knowing that my phone is locked and I can't mindlessly open social media or other apps makes it easier to pay attention and stay engaged in what's being discussed. What I like most is that it removes the temptation to get distracted without being complicated to use. It's a simple idea, but it works.

it keeps unlocking in the middle of the day then I get a violation

works well, amazing app
