Screen time, reimagined

Meditate to unlock your apps.

Lock the apps that pull you in. When you reach for one, you don't get an endless feed — you get a meditation. Sit, breathe, and finish a session to unlock. By the time you're done, the impulse has usually passed.

How it works

A few mindful minutes in place of autopilot scrolling.

1

Choose your apps

Pick the apps that distract you and the times they should be locked.

2

Reach for one

Open a locked app and a meditation appears instead of the feed.

3

Meditate to unlock

Sit through a guided or self-directed session to continue.

4

Build the habit

Keep a streak and watch a 90-day habit grid fill in over time.

Your apps stay your business

Meditation Lock uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. Your list of locked apps stays on your device — the app never sees which specific apps you use.
