Locktin

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. 1

    Morning

    The block starts fine.

  2. 2

    Afternoon

    Stress hits.

  3. 3

    Override

    You find the fastest way out.

  4. 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.
