What makes it different?
Apple's screen time reminders are great if you stop scrolling when they pop up! However, if you often find yourself ignoring the reminders for a "quick peek" that lasts half an hour, then Padlock's perfect for you.
Put Padlock somewhere out of the way, and your distracting apps follow it. In order to unlock your distractions you need to tap Padlock against your phone.
With Padlock, the "Key" to unlock your distracting apps is placed out of reach. The effort involved in retrieving Padlock greatly outweighs the desire to scroll in the moment.
See Padlock In Use:
Why's it so effective?
Other screen time control methods can easily be bypassed, Padlock can't. So there's no way to start scrolling again in a moment of weakness.
Padlock makes mindless scrolling a chore.
For example, if you always use your phone late at night, put Padlock downstairs. When you're comfortably tucked in to bed and that urge to check your phone appears, the last thing you want is to have to turn on all the lights and go downstairs. Maybe falling asleep is easier after all?

What if I lose my Padlock?
If you lose your Padlock, what happens next depends on whether you’ve enabled strict mode or not.
If strict mode is not enabled: You're able to use an emergency unlock, and your locked apps will unlock immediately.
If strict mode is enabled, you cannot instantly unlock your apps. Instead, you can start a countdown which will allow you to unlock your apps in 12 hours time. If at any point during the 12 hour countdown you decide that you don't want to unlock your apps, you can simply cancel the countdown.
Striking a balance between being able to unlock your distracting apps if you lose Padlock, and ensuring that Padlock is effective and can't be bypassed is a tricky thing to do. However, we believe that being able to opt in to a strict mode with a 12 hour cooldown to unlock your apps doesn't harm Padlock's effectiveness whilst still providing you with a safety net in case you lose your Padlock.
Can't I just use the standard screen time controls on my iPhone already?
While screen time reminders might work for some people, they can easily be ignored and bypassed. They just act as a reminder, they don't actually restrict anything. It's all to easy to ignore the reminder and tell yourself "5 more minutes" or "just one quick look won't hurt".
Instead, Padlock completely blocks access to the apps which you've chosen to lock up. The only way to access them is to go to wherever you've stashed your Padlock device and tap it against your phone. By default the app is not deletable when Padlock mode is enabled.
The effort of grabbing Padlock from another room greatly outweighs the desire to bypass the restrictions so your apps stay locked up and you stay focused.
We're so confident that Padlock will help you stay focused that we offer a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee. If Padlock doesn't help reduce your screen time, you can return it for a full refund.
