Study Lock - Lock your phone. Unlock your brain

by
Study Lock is the screen time app that holds your distractions hostage for your own good. Want to unlock TikTok? You’ll have to earn it. To break the lock, you must correctly answer questions about your upcoming exam topics. No right answers, no scrolling. It’s the ultimate trade: master your subjects to reclaim your screen time. Turn your procrastination into a study session.

I’m Ethan, a 19-year-old student. A few months ago, I realized I was no longer able to study for even 30 minutes without reflexively checking TikTok or Instagram. My attention span was gone, and my grades were suffering. I tried every "Do Not Disturb" mode, but they were all too easy to bypass. So, I built Study Lock. The concept is simple: To unlock your distracting apps, you have to prove you’ve actually been learning. You must correctly answer questions based on your exam material to regain access to your phone. It turns a moment of procrastination into an active study session. I'm launching this today because I know I'm not the only one struggling to stay off my phone during exam season.
