In development · Mac + browsers first
Soft blocks don't survive a bad afternoon.
Screen Time, browser extensions you disable, focus timers you stop — the block is tied to something you can close or override in three taps. Locktin is built for the moment you're tired and looking for the fastest way out.
The 3-tap problem
Most focus tools fail the same way — not willpower, design. The pattern we keep hearing:
- 1
Morning
The block starts fine.
- 2
Afternoon
Stress hits.
- 3
Override
You find the fastest way out.
- 4
Tomorrow
Guilt, repeat.
Locktin assumes your future tired self will look for the override — so friction lives in the architecture: optional hard locks, enforcement that outlives the app you used to turn it on, and browser rules that stay cached locally.
Built different on purpose
-
Keeps running
Blocks can persist from a background service and a browser extension — not only while a focus app is open.
-
Real locks
Optional timer, schedule, password, or typing challenge on a block — so changes are not instant.
-
Site-level friction
Tighter control on the places that eat afternoons — without naming every distraction upfront.
