About this app

LOCK-IN gives you Snapchat, Instagram & Co. without short videos, without algorithmic traps. Only what matters: messages, profiles, connections. Your phone. Your rules.

FOCUS BROWSER
Instead of the original apps, you open Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat through the LOCK-IN Focus Browser. It selectively removes the elements that draw you in: Reels, Shorts, For You Page, Spotlight & Co. disappear – leaving only what you actually use the platform for: writing messages, checking profiles, staying connected with friends.

APP LOCK
You decide how strict LOCK-IN should be:

• Manual lock – block apps immediately when you want to stay focused

• Time window lock – apps can only be used outside of specified times (e.g., not during work or at night)

• Daily limit – a fixed daily allowance, after which it's over

YOUR PACE, YOUR CONTROL
No paternalism, no guilt – LOCK-IN is a tool that helps you use your phone more consciously without completely disconnecting.

Why LOCK-IN uses the Accessibility Service:

LOCK-IN helps you reduce your screen time by temporarily blocking apps of your choice (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). To detect when a blocked app is opened and display a lock notification at that moment, LOCK-IN uses the Android Accessibility Service. The service only detects which app is currently in the foreground – it does not read any screen content, text, passwords, or personal data. This function forms the basis of LOCK-IN's app-locking mechanism.
