Designed for focus

Choose the pause that fits the moment.

Lockit adds a mindful pause between impulse and access. Built-in math tasks are quick and objective. Custom tasks let you confirm real-life routines before opening the apps that usually pull your attention away.

  • Built-in math quiz challenges
  • Custom checklist tasks
  • Require all items or unlock after answering
  • Temporary access sessions
  • Automatic re-locking

Unlock task types

Built-in when you want speed. Custom when you need context.

Built-in

Math challenge

Answer grade-level math questions before access is granted. It is simple, fast, and useful when you just need a bit of friction.

Custom

Your own checklist

Create items like clock in, write a daily report, order lunch, or finish a study routine. Choose the options and the answer that counts as done.

Flexible

Rules per item

Some items can disappear after completion for the current cycle. Others can ask every time you unlock, so the task matches the habit you are trying to build.

Features

Everything you need to manage app access.

App restrictions

Use Apple's Screen Time APIs to apply app restrictions selected by you.

Task unlocks

Require math tasks or custom checklists before temporary access is granted.

Custom task library

Create, edit, switch, enable, disable, or delete your own unlock tasks.

Auto re-lock

Apps return to their protected state based on your settings.

Control groups

Organize apps into groups and apply rules that match your routine.

Whitelist support

Keep essential apps available while restrictions are active.

Backup and restore

Export and restore your Lockit configuration when needed. Task progress stays separate.

Privacy first

Your app content stays private.

Lockit does not read content from managed apps. Your configurations, task definitions, and task progress remain on your device. Passwords are stored securely using Apple's Keychain, and biometric authentication is handled by iOS.

No app content access

Lockit manages restrictions, not your messages, feeds, or files.

On-device settings

Your groups, schedules, custom tasks, and progress are stored locally.

Apple security

Passwords use Keychain. Biometrics stay handled by the system.

Screen Time permission

Why Lockit asks for Screen Time access

Lockit uses Apple's Screen Time APIs to apply app restrictions selected by you. This permission is required for app locking, scheduled restrictions, and temporary access.
