What makes it different?
In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones have become both our greatest tools and our biggest distractions. How many times have you picked up your phone to check something important, only to find yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media 30 minutes later? We've all been there, and it's costing us more than just time – it's affecting our productivity, our relationships, and even our mental health.
Sure, there are built-in screen time controls and apps that promise to help, but let's be honest – they're all too easy to ignore or bypass in a moment of weakness. What if there was a solution that actually worked?
Introducing Padlock: Put it 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.

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.
