Locked Out - Less Social Media

Locked Out isn't your typical app blocker. Most screen time limiting apps rely on a lock that you can easily disable in two seconds if the temptation is strong enough. Locked Out takes a different approach: You change your password to something you can't remember and hand it over to the app. From that moment on, you can only access your account when the timer expires. It's not your discipline that matters. It's the timer. No subscription or ads. Free forever. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Most app blockers need deep access to your phone to watch what you do. Locked Out asks for no account and no sign-up. Your data cannot end up on someone else's server, because there isn't one. • No user account, no registration • No data transfer to the internet, no cloud storage • No advertising, no tracking, no analytics services • Your password is encrypted and stored securely on your device • Everything is completely erased upon uninstallation The app doesn't require permissions for usage data, accessibility features or to be displayed over other apps. It does not interfere with other apps and does not watch what you do. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a new, strong password for the app that's taking up too much of your time. 2. Enter it in Locked Out and specify how long the lock should last after each login. 3. When you want to log in, take the password from the app. The lock starts immediately. 4. When you are done, log out. Locked Out will only release the password again once the timer has expired. The effect: a real obstacle stands between the impulse and the feed. No bypassing it with a single tap. YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Freely selectable lockout time from 1 to 99 hours • Adjustable at any time, as long as no timer is running • Two exceptions per month for genuine emergencies • Works with any service that requires a password WHO IS IT FOR? For everyone who wanted to quickly look something up in the evening and is still scrolling an hour later. For everyone who has tried making resolutions and realized that resolutions rarely win against a well-designed app. Locked Out doesn't make the decision for you. It simply ensures that you make it consciously once, instead of fifty times a day. TIP FOR GETTING STARTED For services with their own app, it's worth deleting it from your phone and logging in only via a private browser window. This way, you'll remain automatically logged out after closing the app, and the lock will work reliably.
