Screentime Control That Actually Works.

Even in your moments of weakness

Padlock is different.

Control your screen time without relying on self control. To unblock a distracting app, you've got to walk over and manually tap your phone on Padlock. This added friction makes you pause and think, which is proven to break the cycle of mindless scrolling.

With other methods, the "Key" to unlock your distracting apps is always present. With Padlock, that key is placed out of reach. By adding a physical barrier between you and digital temptations, Padlock makes it easier to stay focussed than it is to start doomscrolling.

All of this while still being able to use all your useful apps like normal. It's a simple, effective way to take back control of your screen time.

Please get in touch at info@padlock-app.com

What if I lose my Padlock? Will I be locked out of my Padlocked apps forever?

If you lose your padlock, you can use an emergency unlock within the app. We provide 3 emergency unlocks to all users.

Striking the right balance between the effectiveness of Padlock, and the risk of being locked out of your phone is something we've put a lot of thought in to, and is something we're still actively working on. We've found that 3 emergency unlocks is more than enough for when emergency situations occur, but not so many that you'd ever want to use it in a non emergency situation.

However, we're always looking to improve Padlock, and we're always open to feedback if you've got any suggestions for how we can do this better.

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.

Where should I put my Padlock when my chosen apps are locked in Padlock mode?

For most people we recommend putting the Padlock in a cupboard in another room and just forgetting about it, only ever disabling Padlock mode when you really need to. Most people find that this is more than enough to stop any tempting scrolls.

However, if you find yourself frequently unlocking your phone, you could go a step further and could give the Padlock to a friend or family member to look after, or even store it in a local deposit box.

Are there any subscriptions I need to pay to use Padlock?

No, there are no subscriptions required to use Padlock, all that is required is the one time purchase of the Padlock device.
