Having Instagram and TikTok one tap away makes focusing almost impossible. The best solution is an app that temporarily locks distracting apps using iOS Screen Time — so you can focus without willpower alone.
LockHour Pro lets you set a focus session duration (25 minutes for Pomodoro or a custom length), select which apps to block, and start. The chosen apps are locked via iOS Screen Time for the duration. When the session ends, everything unlocks automatically.
Ideal for: Students, remote workers, and anyone who struggles to stay off social media during focused work.
