About this app

Reduce your screen time. Break your phone addiction. Stay focused and productive.
Sounds like a dream? Not if you're a Keep Me Out user.

Keep Me Out is a phone lock and digital detox app that locks you out of your own device so you can focus. Lock your phone on demand, on a schedule, or automatically when you reach a distracting place — get reports on your app usage and give your body the digital detox it needs. No willpower required.

What can you do with Keep Me Out?

— Quick Lock
The core of the app: choose how long to lock yourself out and your phone stays locked. Emergency contacts can be enabled in settings.

— Schedule Lock
Plan recurring focus blocks across a seven-day cycle — bedtime, work, study — and manage your digital consumption automatically.

— Location Locks
Automatically lock your phone when you arrive at a place of focus — the office, the gym, a friend's home. Add a place once and Keep Me Out locks you out the moment you get there, hands-free. Your location is used only on your device — never uploaded or shared.

— Allowed Apps
Choose a few apps you genuinely need (maps, music, chat) to stay usable while everything else stays locked. Requested by thousands of users — now available.

— App Usage
Get an organized overview of which apps take your time and how much. Watch your screen time drop as you build the habit — knowledge is the first step to self-improvement.

— Emergency Calling
Add important contacts so you can always reach them during lock times.

— Themes
Make the app yours with beautiful themes — Midnight, Ocean, Sunset and more.

— Easy Settings
Uninstall protection, device reboot, connected-device settings and language — all in one place.

What is the difference between our free and premium version?

The free version includes up to 2 schedule locks. Premium is ad-free and unlocks unlimited schedules, location-based auto-lock, extra themes and more — so you can plan your whole week and boost productivity effortlessly.

— Permissions needed to set up this app:
Enable device administrator for the lock feature to work. Location Locks additionally need location permission (optional — only if you use them).

We value your privacy.
Keep Me Out doesn't store any personalized data on our servers.

We love to hear your feedback!
If you have any questions or want to request a new feature, we value all feedback immensely and work every day to improve your experience. Contact us at keepmeout.help@eudaitec.com

It's a great idea, just what I needed. The issue is that just now, it randomly decided to lock my phone, for 1046 minutes. I hadn't set a timer for that, and the highest time I've set it to lock for is 300 minutes. 1046 minutes is 17 hours. I had reboot protection on, so I rebooted my phone, quickly went into system settings, logged in over and over as it locked, and removed Keep Me Out as a system admin. I like this app, but if it won't work reliably every single time, I can't use it.

Hi, have you tried the latest update? It seems to fix the issue for many of our users. If it doesn't work for you, could you contact us at keepmeout.help@gmail.com so that we can work together to figure it out?

I started using this app last night. I set a schedule to lock me out on weeknights for sleeping hours. It worked last night. It's now 3 minutes after the time it was supposed to lock me out tonight and I'm writing this review instead because it didn't. I tried turning on 'keep running in background' and it still hasn't locked me out. Pretty big fail.

You're right that scheduled locks were unreliable — we've reworked scheduling in v2.7.27. Please update and give it another go; if it works for you, we'd be grateful for an updated rating 🙏

So far I have no complaints whatsoever about this app, it does as it states it will, flawlessly. My only request would be if you had an option to select just certain apps you wish to be kept out of, text, messenger, email, Facebook, and even the play store...to keep you from downloading new apps as a work around. I've got several apps I would like to use, but many more I'd block. Thanks!
