BuddyLock: Focus with Friends

BuddyLock locks the apps that pull you away from studying — and gives the key to a friend.

HOW IT WORKS • Pick apps, categories or websites with Apple's Screen Time picker. BuddyLock never sees their names. • Lock now for 15 minutes to 2 hours, or set weekly study times. • The lock screen has no unlock button. Need one app back? Send a friend an unlock request. • Your friend opens a short web page and reads you a six-digit code. They don't need the app or an account. • The code is one-time. It opens only the apps you chose, for up to 15 minutes, then they lock again automatically.

WHILE YOU'RE LOCKED • Lock more apps: add apps to a running lock. They stay locked until the same time. • Extend: add 15, 30 or 60 minutes. A lock can only get longer. • Emergency exit for real emergencies: three times in 30 days, after a short wait.

BUDDYLOCK PRO Exam week (strict mode, quiet hours and a countdown for the week before each exam), more weekly schedules, extra themes and seven-day history. Locking and friend codes stay free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. App names never leave your phone.

HONEST LIMITS iOS still lets the phone's owner turn off Screen Time access or delete any app. BuddyLock doesn't pretend otherwise — it puts the next step in a friend's hands.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage them in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://buddylock.app/terms Privacy: https://buddylock.app/privacy
