Open LockHour Pro and choose a focus session length — 25 minutes for a Pomodoro block, or custom duration.
Choose the apps you want to block during the session. Social media and games are the most common choices.
Tap Start. The selected apps are blocked via iOS Screen Time for the session duration.
During the session, blocked apps show a Screen Time limit message instead of opening.
LockHour Pro notifies you when the session is done. Take a break before starting the next session.
If you know your Screen Time passcode, you can technically override the block. LockHour Pro works best when you don't know the passcode — consider setting one you won't easily recall.
4–6 Pomodoro-style sessions (25 min work + 5 min break) is a common target for a productive work day. Adjust to your schedule.
You can select specific apps to block while leaving others open. Customise the block list to your distraction pattern.
