What is Locklandia

Make your phone time count

Locklandia blocks the apps you reach for without thinking, then makes staying off them something you do with friends.

Choosing how to block

1. Pick your distractions

Choose apps in Apple's own picker. Locklandia never learns which ones you chose.

2. Lock in

Start a block or rounds of focus and breaks. The apps stay shut until the timer, or your stop rule, says so.

3. Do it together

Join friends who are focusing, keep your streak, and chase the weekly title of Mayor.

Use cases

One app, every kind of focus.

However you lose time to your phone, there's a setup for it.

Deep work that actually stays deep.

Block the apps you open without thinking, set an intention for the session, and log the urges you ride out instead of acting on them.

Log an urge, don't act on it
A deep work block in progress

Put the phone to bed before you do.

A nightly schedule shuts the feeds at 10:30 and opens them in the morning. Leave the card in the kitchen and the decision is already made.

Every night, automatically
A Wind down schedule

Study sessions with the whole group.

Start rounds of focus and breaks and friends can join the same timer. Everyone's in the same round, and nobody's scrolling.

Less screen time, with a little rivalry.

Share only your daily total with friends and challenge each other. Lowest wins each day, and the loser buys coffee.

Totals only, never apps

Features

Focus, finally working for you.

Everything that runs on your phone is free: blocking, stop rules, schedules, badges and your whole history.

Lock in with friends

See who's focusing right now and join their timer or their full set of rounds.

Become Mayor

A weekly leaderboard where the title goes to whoever shows up on the most days, not whoever grinds one.

Stop rules

Stop anytime, write why, ask someone for a code, or tap a card you left in another room.

Rules that run themselves

Schedules, daily time limits, open limits and always-on blocks, set once.

Streaks and badges

Hit your daily goal to keep a streak, earn badges for real focus, and watch your score climb.

Private by design

Friends see that you're focused. Never which apps you blocked, what you were doing, or why you stopped.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants their time back

If you've ever unlocked your phone and forgotten why, it's for you.

Honestly

What Locklandia can and can't do

No app can make your phone impossible to use. Here's what this one does instead.

Locklandia adds friction. You can delete the app or turn off Screen Time, and nothing here stops that. What stops you is that the card is in the other room, or that a friend has to hear your reason.

It adds friction, not force

It uses Apple's Screen Time API and Apple's own app picker, so Locklandia never learns which apps you chose. It isn't a medical device and isn't treatment for any condition.

Your apps stay yours
FAQ

Things you need to know

Everything about blocking, privacy, friends and what's free.

Is blocking really free?

Yes, and it stays free: unlimited blocks, every stop rule, schedules, keyholders by code, card pairing, badges and your full history. Plus only covers features that need a server we run, like live approvals and private leaderboards.

Can my friends see which apps I block?

No. Friends see that you're focused and for how long. Never which apps you blocked, what you were working on, or why you stopped. Locklandia itself never learns which apps you chose, because you pick them in Apple's own picker.

Do I need an account?

Not to block. An account, made with Sign in with Apple, is only needed for friends, the leaderboard, photos and Plus. The online features are for people aged 13 and over.

How does "Ask someone" work?

You pair with a person you trust. They hold a code that changes every 30 seconds, and the only way to end a block early is to ask them for it. With Plus, they can approve with a tap instead.

Do I need the NFC card?

No. It's one stop rule of four. The card is a one-time $29 purchase, ordered in the app, with no battery and no subscription.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Locklandia is built on Apple's Screen Time API, so it's iPhone only for now.
