Earn Your Screen Time
Your apps stay locked until you actually do something. Gym. Study. Clean your room. No excuses, no snooze button.
Pick your poison. Then fix it.
Gym First
GPS detects when you walk in. Apps unlock automatically. Just show up.
Study First
Focus timer, reading tracker, flashcards. Apps stay locked until the session's done.
Clean Room First
Snap a photo. AI checks if it's actually tidy. No fooling it.
Sleep Mode
Apps lock before bed. No more doomscrolling at 2am.
You know what to do. You just don't do it.
You tell yourself you'll go to the gym after one more scroll. Then an hour disappears. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube. They're designed to keep you there. Your willpower doesn't stand a chance.
LockedOut takes the decision out of your hands. Your apps literally don't work until you've done what you said you'd do. That's it. No tricks, no motivation quotes. Just a locked screen until you earn it back.

Three steps. Done.
Pick Your Rules
Choose what you need to do before your apps unlock. Gym, study, clean room, steps, whatever works for you. Set it once.
Apps Get Locked
Pick the apps that waste your time. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, games. They stay locked until you've done the work.
Do The Thing
Walk into the gym, apps unlock. Finish your study timer, apps unlock. Clean your room, snap a photo, apps unlock. That simple.
You've been paying for a membership since January. You've been twice. LockedOut makes sure you actually go — or your apps stay locked.
Exams in two weeks. You've watched four hours of TikTok today. Study mode locks your feeds until you've actually revised.
You said lights out at 11. It's 1:47am and you're deep in Reddit. Sleep mode ends the cycle tonight.
Not just another app blocker.
GPS Gym Detection
Save your gym location once. LockedOut knows when you're there and unlocks your apps automatically. No buttons, no QR codes. Just walk in.
AI Room Scanner
Take a photo. The AI actually checks if your room is clean. Clothes on the floor? Bed unmade? Nice try. It catches everything.
Sleep Mode
Set your bedtime. Apps lock an hour before and stay locked until morning. Stop the 2am scrolling. Your sleep will thank you.
Friends and Challenges
Add friends with a code. Compete on the leaderboard. Send challenges. Nudge someone who hasn't been to the gym today. Peer pressure that actually helps.
Study Mode
Focus timer, reading tracker, flashcards. Set a study session and your distracting apps stay locked until you finish. Built for students who need to actually revise.
Widgets and Watch App
See your streak, tasks, and status from your home screen or wrist. Check your progress without even opening the app.
AI Food Scanner
Snap a photo of your meal and AI works out the macros. Scan a nutrition label and it pulls every number off it. Or screenshot a food page and it imports the lot. Faster than typing it in.
Workout Plans + Form Coach
PPL, upper/lower, bro split. Pick your routine and follow it rep by rep. Film a set and the AI checks your form on squats, bench, deadlifts. Track every PR.
Themes That Match Everything
Six themes plus eight accent colours. Even the lock screen on your blocked apps matches. Pink theme, pink lock screen. Looks like the app was made for your phone.
No Easy Way Out
Emergency unlock exists for real emergencies. But there's no snooze. No "skip today". No loopholes. That's the whole point.
Not all blockers are built equal.

“Screen time is a reward, not a right.”
Fair enough. Let's clear it up.
How is this different from Screen Time?
Screen Time lets you set limits. Then you tap "ignore" and carry on scrolling. LockedOut doesn't have that button. Your apps stay locked until you've actually done what you said you'd do.
Does it kill my battery?
Nah. It uses the same geofencing tech that iOS uses for location reminders. Barely noticeable on battery.
What apps can I block?
Literally any app. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Netflix, games. You pick what wastes your time and LockedOut locks it.
Is my data private?
Completely. Your location never leaves your phone. Nothing gets stored on a server. Nothing gets sent anywhere. Your data is yours.
When does it launch?
It's live now. Download free on the App Store.
What if I have a real emergency?
There's an emergency unlock. We made it deliberately annoying so you won't use it to cheat. But it's there when you genuinely need it.
Stop scrolling.
Start earning.
Free on the App Store. Locks the apps you choose. Unlocks when you actually do something.
