Block distractions
Lock Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and anything else you can't stop opening.
Focus sessions
Choose exactly how long to stay locked in. When it's bolted, it's bolted.
Build the habit
Streaks, hours reclaimed, and your weakest hours — so focus compounds.
The loop
You didn't open Instagram for 45 minutes.
You opened it for one.
Then another. And another. And another.
Deadbolt breaks that loop — before it starts.
The wake-up call
See what it's
really costing you.
Deadbolt opens with the math every other app hides: at your screen time, how many years of your life you're on track to lose looking down. No guilt trip — just the number, and a way out.
Why Deadbolt
Most blockers are
one tap to escape.
Deadbolt is built on a single idea: make distraction harder. Not impossible — just hard enough that you actually stop.
- Strict Mode — no instant exit once a session starts.
- Emergency Exit — a real escape hatch, gated by a ten-minute cooldown.
- Walk it off — or leave early by taking 200 steps. Movement, not a tap.
- Scheduled blocks — apps lock themselves, even when Deadbolt is closed.
Bolt it.
Pick the apps. Set the duration. Lock them. That's the whole ritual — three taps and your phone goes quiet.
Save your distractions as a blocklist once, then arm them in a single tap next time.
Every night.
Automatically.
Set a schedule once and Deadbolt locks the apps for you — overnight, during work, while you study. It runs even when the app is closed.
"Set it once and my evenings just… came back."
See the time
you got back.
Hours reclaimed. Day streaks. The exact hour you're weakest. Deadbolt doesn't just block — it shows you the pattern.
Everything is counted on your device. Accounts: zero.
What can you block?
You choose the distraction.
Deadbolt works with the apps you find hardest to resist.
Private by design
Your focus is yours.
Deadbolt never sees which apps you pick — that stays sealed inside Apple's Screen Time. Nothing to sign into, nothing sold.
No account
No sign-up, no email, no login. Ever.
No ads
No advertising network, no ad tracking.
No data sold
Your behavior isn't a product.
On your iPhone
Blocking runs on-device, via Screen Time.
Get your evenings
back — tonight.
Free to start. Bolt your first distraction in under a minute.
