Padlock makes bedtime scrolling a thing of the past
No more late nights, no more tired mornings.
Padlock takes your distracting apps,
and physically seperates you from them.
Scrolling for an hour is no longer as simple as reaching for your phone in a moment of weakness.
Place Padlock somewhere out of the way, such as a kitchen cupboard, and your distracting apps stay with Padlock. Instead of just being an arms length away, to start scrolling you now need to get out of bed and tap Padlock against your phone.
With other methods, the "Key" to unlock your distracting apps is always present. With Padlock, that key is placed out of reach. The effort involved in retrieving Padlock greatly outweighs the desire to scroll in the moment. All of this while still being able to use all your useful apps like normal.
STEP 1
Lock your distracting apps
Choose which apps you want to block, whilst keeping useful apps always available.
STEP 2
Stash Padlock away
Put Padlock somewhere out of the way and hard to get to.
STEP 3
Distractions are blocked
The only way to access your locked apps is to spend effort going to where you stashed Padlock and tapping it against your phone.

It's so effective, I can't be bothered to to go downstairs to unlock my apps, especially when I'm in bed and wanting to fall asleep, so they just stay locked. I'm sleeping so much better now :)

I never realised how often I reached for my phone out of habit until I started using Padlock. It's been an eye-opener, and honestly It's really helped my mood since using it as i've got so much more free time to chill now

What if I lose my Padlock?
If you lose your padlock, you can use an emergency unlock within the app. We provide 3 emergency unlocks to all users.
Striking the right balance between the effectiveness of Padlock, and the risk of being locked out of your phone is something we've put a lot of thought in to, and is something we're still actively working on. We've found that 3 emergency unlocks is more than enough for when emergency situations occur, but not so many that you'd ever want to use it in a non emergency situation.
However, we're always looking to improve Padlock, and we're always open to feedback if you've got any suggestions for how we can do this better.
Can't I just use the standard screen time controls on my iPhone already?
While screen time reminders might work for some people, they can easily be ignored and bypassed. They just act as a reminder, they don't actually restrict anything. It's all to easy to ignore the reminder and tell yourself "5 more minutes" or "just one quick look won't hurt".
Instead, Padlock completely blocks access to the apps which you've chosen to lock up. The only way to access them is to go to wherever you've stashed your Padlock device and tap it against your phone. By default the app is not deletable when Padlock mode is enabled.
The effort of grabbing Padlock from another room greatly outweighs the desire to bypass the restrictions so your apps stay locked up and you stay focused.
We're so confident that Padlock will help you stay focused that we offer a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee. If Padlock doesn't help reduce your screen time, you can return it for a full refund.
Where should I put Padlock when my apps are locked?
For most people we recommend putting the Padlock in a cupboard in another room and just forgetting about it, only ever disabling Padlock mode when you really need to. Most people find that this is more than enough to stop any tempting scrolls.
However, if you find yourself frequently unlocking your phone, you could go a step further and could give the Padlock to a friend or family member to look after, or even store it in a local deposit box.
Are there any subscriptions required to use Padlock?
No, there are no subscriptions required to use Padlock, all that is required is the one time purchase of the Padlock device.
