An app blocker that works with an ADHD brain
If a single notification can derail an hour, willpower alone is not the answer. Lock In Squad puts a deliberate barrier between you and the apps that hijack your attention, so the easy path becomes the focused one.
Built for how distraction actually works
Friction beats willpower
Tapping into a blocked app is not impossible, it just takes a deliberate hold to unlock. That tiny pause interrupts the automatic "check the phone" loop and hands the decision back to you.
Reduce the decisions
Decide once at the start of a session, not a hundred times an hour. While you are locked in there is nothing to negotiate with, which is a relief when task-switching is the hard part.
A streak you can keep
The bar is low on purpose: lock in once a day. A forgiving daily habit is far easier to sustain than an all-or-nothing system, and the streak gives your brain a small, satisfying reward.
Make it rewarding
You earn minutes for time spent focused and can spend them on customizations. The dopamine loop that usually works against you is pointed at focusing instead.
Lock In Squad is a focus tool, not medical advice or a treatment for ADHD. If you are struggling, a clinician can help. Lock In Squad is simply one practical way to make distracting apps harder to reach during the day.
