your phone is pulling you away from your practice. the random app scrolling, the notifications, the endless feed - it has pushed your chanting, your practice, your study, and your connection to your Gohonzon lower on the list.
Soka Lock flips that.
before Instagram opens, before the compulsive scroll starts, you pause - just for a moment - with Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and a passage from the Gosho or Lotus Sutra, matched to exactly what you're feeling right now.
it takes 1 minute. and it's that 60 seconds of focus that changes the reflex.
this is not another screen time app. this is your practice, showing up at the moment of distraction, with the wisdom and courage of Nichiren Buddhism to meet you exactly where you are.
how it works
1. choose which apps to block — Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, games etc.
2. you reach for one, and Soka Lock appears first with a custom chant timer
3. you chant, read, reflect - then continue when you're ready
4. your streak builds, your patterns become visible, the reflex softens

WHO THIS IS FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
if you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo , or are drawn to the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism - and you're tired of how much of your attention disappears into a phone, this was made for you.
for SGI members, and anyone on the path who wants their phone to serve their practice, not compete with it. for people who've tried every screen time app and found something was missing.
