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.

New

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.

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.

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.

Focus & digital wellbeing

Endless notifications and mindless scrolling quietly drain your focus. lockmeout helps you break free from digital distractions and get back to a calmer, more productive day.

How it works

Three simple steps between you and a focused, distraction-free stretch of time.

Lock it away

Set a random, time-locked password on whatever pulls your attention — your phone, your computer, or a specific online account.

Focus — no cheating

Get on with what actually matters. Your mind settles into deep focus, knowing there is simply no way back in before the timer ends.

When your lock expires you receive the unlock code by push or email, and pick up right where you left off.

Not just screens

New

Lock away real-world items too — like a game controller: seal it in a box with a combination padlock, snap a photo of a scrambled combination, and lockmeout only reveals the code when your time is up. Find out how →
