Lock In

Focus with friends virtually.

"Study with me" videos work because of accountability. Lock In brings that energy to your real friends. See when they're focusing, join their sessions, and lock in together.

🔒

Accountability Made Social

The motivation of body-doubling, without being in the same room.

1

See Who's Focusing

Your friends list shows who's currently in a focus session. See "Sarah is studying (23 min in)" and feel the pull to join.

2

Join Sessions

Tap to join a friend's session. You'll both see each other focusing. Knowing someone is "with" you makes starting easier.

3

Focus Types

Tag what you're doing: studying, working, creating, coding, reading. See what your friends are working on.

4

Flexible Timer

Default 25-minute Pomodoro, but fully customizable. Some sessions call for 90 minutes of deep work.

5

Daily Stats

Track your focus time and see gentle streaks (that don't punish you for missing days). Celebrate consistency, not perfection.

6

Push Notifications

"Maya just started a study session" - the gentle nudge you need to close TikTok and lock in.

How It Works

Simple accountability in three steps.

1

Add Friends

Share your username or connect through contacts. Build your focus circle.

2

Start a Session

Hit "Lock In", set your focus type and duration. Your friends see you're now focusing.

3

Focus Together

Friends can join your session. You see each other's timers. Social pressure keeps you honest.

Why It Works

Based on real psychology, not gamification tricks.

👥

Body Doubling

Having someone "with" you while working is a proven ADHD strategy. Lock In brings this online.

💫

Social Motivation

Seeing friends study makes you want to study. It's contagious in the best way.

Accountability

Harder to quit early when a friend is expecting you to finish. Gentle social pressure works.
