The Deadbolt home screen — a dial set to one hour, ready to bolt.

One tap

Set the dial. Bolt it.

Choose how long you need to focus and lock the apps that pull you away. No accounts, no dashboards — just a dial and a decision. When the time's up, they come back.

Runs on its own

Daily limits. Automatically.

Give your distracting apps a time budget for the day. Spend it, and they lock themselves — no session to start, no decision to make. Tighten a limit and it takes effect now; ease one and it waits until tomorrow, so the you at 11pm can't overrule the you who set it.

No willpower required

Strict mode means it.

Turn on strict mode and there's no instant exit. Need out early? Wait out a ten-minute cooldown — or walk 200 steps. Enough friction to break the reflex, never enough to trap you.

See it add up

The hours you got back.

Every finished session builds your streak and adds to the hours you've reclaimed. A quiet record of the time that used to disappear.

People keep it.

Private by design

No account. No tracking. Ever.

Deadbolt never learns which apps you block or when. Everything stays on your iPhone — because a focus app has no business watching you.

Get your evenings back — tonight.

Common questions

  • Blocking isn't working? Make sure Deadbolt has Screen Time access: iOS Settings → Screen Time → Apps with Screen Time Access.
  • Stuck in a strict session? That's the feature working — it ends automatically at the time you chose. Need out early? Request an emergency exit and wait out the ten-minute cooldown, or walk 200 steps.
  • Manage or cancel your subscription: iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
