Lockdown is not a focus timer. Name the task. Set the term. Seal your phone. Breaking your word is deliberately, unpleasantly hard.
Most focus apps make it easy to quit. A dismiss button. A five-minute snooze. A friendly nudge. Lockdown makes the opposite choice: quitting must be slower, uglier, and more honest than following through.
I,
will not touch my phone for the next 3 hours.
If I break this vow, it will be recorded.
This is a contract with myself.
Type the following, exactly:
A 60-SECOND WAIT FOLLOWS
Name the task in your own words. Set the term. Choose the few apps that survive the seal.
Press and hold to commit. The ring closes. Your phone is now a single-purpose object.
Type the admission by hand. Wait 60 seconds. Every break is recorded in your ledger, forever.
A press-and-hold ritual, not a tap. Commitment should have weight.
Handwritten admission plus a forced wait. Impulse dies in the friction.
Every session — kept or broken — recorded. A quiet record of your word.
Whitelist only what the task truly needs. Everything else disappears.
Yes, real life happens. A temporary unlock exists — and it's logged.
No streaks. No badges. No dopamine. Just the work, and your word.
Lockdown is built for people who already know what they should be doing, and are tired of themselves for not doing it. It punishes hesitation on purpose. Choose it deliberately.
