❕ This app needs Device Administrator permission. Otherwise it can't lock your phone.

⏩ What's the purpose of this app?

It's not exactly controversial that YOU NEED A ROUTINE. But it's hard to stick to your schedule when the endless entertainment of the internet is available at your fingertips. Lock my Phone kills that lure so you can concentrate on what's actually important.

While your device is locked you can still access the apps on your lockscreen, take phone calls and call emergency numbers (911 etc.) and emergency contacts (see below). If you unlock it during a lock period it will be locked again right away.

⏩ Three Main Features:

1. Recurring lock periods, for example to lock your phone every evening during the week after 10 pm.

2. One time lock periods for when you just want to concentrate for 45 minutes while studying.

3. Geocheck-Feature: Only lock your device if you are in a certain area. Helpful so your phone isn't locked while you're out with friends.

⏩ What's the difference between the free and the premium version?

You can only have one lock period in total on the free version, so you can either have 1 one time lock or 1 recurring lock period. You can have unlimited lock periods (of each type) in the premium version.

There are no ads in either version.

Ratings and reviews

It's working. Not exactly what I need, but can do with workaround. I need to lock my phone AFTER certain time (timer) to limit usage by children but not limit the next login. With the current version, I won't be able to use it for at least 1 minute after the timer is off. If you add seconds for locking time or allow early unlock for free. Then it will be great. Another idea for improvent: show wait countdown on status bar, pattern or pin for applying changes. Thank you.

I was genuinely shocked at how effective it is in actually keeping me out of my phone. Even if I restart it works turns on before you even do anything. If you are addicted to your phone this is the #1 app yo fix it. Not to mention the ability to set locks periodically make it all the more better. It's simple and works highly recommended!

Does what it says. Fully locks your phone without a "15 more min" option. When you try to unlock it the screen goes black again and it's a repeated cycle of that. It's been very helpful. The uninstall process is weird though. A great idea would be to allow the option to lock individual apps with the same manner. That way a person that uses there phone to work but has trouble staying off a certain app or something, they can lock that app and continue to use their phone in other aspects.
