Digital self-control, earned.
Lock the apps stealing your time. Earn them back with real action.
Locked.AI shields your most distracting apps until you earn screen time for real: by moving, hitting the gym, or snapping a workout photo. An honest AI coach keeps you accountable, not addicted.
One email when we launch on iPhone, and nothing else. No spam, no sharing.
How it works
You can't tap your way past it. You have to actually do something.
Three steps, one honest loop. Lock the apps that pull you in, earn them back with real effort, then watch them re-lock so the habit holds.
-
Lock what distracts you
Pick the apps that eat your day. Locked.AI shields them with Apple Screen Time, so they won't open until you earn them.
-
Earn it back, for real
Move to hit a goal, arrive at your gym, or snap a workout photo. Three real ways to earn your time back, none of them a tap you can fake.
-
Get your time, then it re-locks
Earn a screen-time window and spend it. When the timer runs out, the shield comes back on its own, so the habit actually holds.
Real effort goes in, and real screen time comes back out.
What's inside
Everything you need to take your attention back.
Block the apps you choose, at the system level
Locked.AI uses Apple's Screen Time to shield your picks. Unlike a timer you can swipe away, the apps stay genuinely closed until you earn them.
- You decide which apps get shielded
- System-level, with your permission
- Re-locks automatically when time's up
Movement, gym arrival, or a workout photo
Pick how you earn. Each path is backed by something real, so you can't tap your way past the shield.
- Move. Hit a goal, read from Apple Health.
- Gym. Your phone notices when you've arrived.
- Photo. A workout shot, verified by AI.
Grounded in your real numbers, and never afraid to be blunt
The coach sees how you're actually doing and says so. Instead of empty hype or streak-baiting, it gives you a straight push at the moment you need one.
- Reads your streak and earned-vs-spent time
- Tells you the truth, not what you want to hear
- Sends your message and your progress stats to write a reply, never your workout photos
Earned-vs-spent screen time, minus the vanity metrics
See what you actually earned and what you actually spent. Your streak rewards real activity, not just opening the app.
- Honest earned-vs-spent chart
- Streaks that track real activity
- Numbers that mean something
Honest about your data
Your data, handled honestly.
The whole product is built on honesty, and that includes how it treats your data. Here's the plain truth about what we collect, where it lives, and what we never do.
Workout photos aren't kept
When you prove a workout, the photo is checked by our AI, then deleted. We don't store it, and it's never used to train AI.
Your account, your data
Your stats, settings, and saved places live in your account, protected so only you can read them. Delete it anytime and it's gone from our servers too.
No ads. No trackers. No selling.
We don't run ad SDKs, build advertising profiles, or sell your data. There's no business model that needs it.
What about the AI coach? When you message it, we send your text and your progress stats to our AI to write a reply. We don't send your workout photos.

Built to give your focus back, not to farm it.
Reclaim your focus
Put a real wall between you and the apps built to hijack your attention. Friction where you need it most.
Build habits that stick
Earning screen time turns "just five minutes" into a daily reason to move. The reward is on the other side of effort.
Honest, not addictive
No streak-baiting, no dark patterns, no engagement traps. A coach that tells you the truth and an app that wants you to need it less.
