Problem
Mobile users often lose productivity due to easy access to distracting apps, leading to fragmented work sessions and inefficient use of time.
Solution
LockIn is a mobile application that helps users maintain focus by allowing them to block selected apps on their device. The app tracks uninterrupted work periods and rewards users with in-app currency called “clockies.” These rewards can be redeemed for coupons, discounts, and other deals, turning sustained focus into a gamified experience. LockIn stores user data securely with encryption and does not share personal information without consent. The solution is currently available on iOS, with Android support planned.
Target Audience
LockIn targets individual iOS users who want to improve personal productivity, such as students, professionals, and anyone seeking to reduce digital distractions.
