Reclaim your focus

Give your attention back to what matters. Lock distractions away for a set time and get your focus, your productivity and your peace of mind back — knowing there is simply no way to slip back in until time is up.

Time-based locks

Lock your entire device for designated time periods, ensuring a distraction-free environment. You will receive the code after time is up. Pick a fixed date and time to unlock, or a simple countdown.

No Cheating

Difficulties achieving your goals? Once time-locked, there is no way to cheat. Unless you set up emergency access, there is no way to unlock before your selected time.

Scheduled access

Prefer recurring focus time? Define weekly access windows — pick the weekdays and hours your lock stays open, and it locks itself the rest of the time automatically.

Unlock Notifications

Be notified by email and push when time-locks expire. Read your unlock code right from your lock screen — even when the locked-out phone is your only device.

Peer accountability

Leverage peer accountability to stay on track with your goals and collectively celebrate achievements, using our Mail-of-Shame system.

Emergency access

Early-open important time-locks with emergency access — but beware, there will be a cost and you will face consequences!

Introducing Stakes

Put something at stake: assign Mail-of-Shame notifications and use Text stakes with your locks to make sure that an emergency access will be shameful and come at a cost.

Native and Web App

Use lockmeout wherever you are — a native iOS app with lock screen widget, Control Center buttons to trigger a countdown or emergency unlock, and Siri,

a native Android app, and

a full web app that runs in any browser with nothing to install. Sign in and your locks stay in sync across all of them.

iOS app

Your unlock code, right on your lock screen

The native iOS app adds a lock screen widget so you can read your unlock secret without ever unlocking your phone — perfect for when your device itself is time-locked.

Lock screen widget

Once a lock opens, access your unlock code from our lock screen widget and regain access.

Control Center buttons

Add lockmeout buttons to Control Center to trigger a countdown or emergency unlock in a single tap — even while your phone is still locked, with no need to open the app.

Siri, hands-free

Siri stays active to use essential phone featuers such as making outgoing calls. When a lock expires, just ask Siri for your unlock code and have it read out loud.

Push notifications

Get notified the moment a lock opens, with the unlock code delivered right to your phone ready to be read from the lock screen.
