Mindlock locks the apps you scroll too much. To open one, solve a quick puzzle. Each puzzle earns you about 10 minutes.
How it works
1. Pick what to lock: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, or any app you choose.
2. When you open a locked app, Mindlock asks for a puzzle first.
3. Solve it to earn minutes. Use them in any locked app. When they run out, it locks again.
Your minutes only count down while you're in a locked app. Leave the app and the clock stops.
Puzzles pay less the more you earn in a day, and you can save up to 45 minutes. A quick break stays easy. A lost afternoon takes real work.
Four kinds of puzzles
• Math sprint: answer a quick run of sums.
• Sudoku: fill the grid so no number repeats.
• Nonogram: use the number clues to color in a hidden picture.
• Target: combine the numbers to hit the target.
New puzzles every time. They get harder as you get better.
Can't I just turn it off?
Yes. Mindlock won't trap you. It just makes you stop and choose. Need an app right now? Wait 60 seconds and type a short sentence to get 5 minutes. Don't trust yourself today? Hard mode locks Mindlock's own settings for 24 hours.
One wallet on every screen
Mindlock also runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, and on iPhone. Sign in with Google to share your minutes across devices. An account is optional.
Free and Pro
Every new install gets 7 days of Pro, no card needed. After that, the free plan locks up to 3 apps with math sprints and small sudoku. Pro unlocks unlimited locks, every puzzle type, sync across devices, full history and hard mode.
Accessibility service
Mindlock uses Android's accessibility service to see which app is open, so it can show a puzzle when you open an app you chose to lock and count the minutes you spend there. It only reads the name of the app in front. It never reads your screen or what you type.
