Locked In is an iPhone focus companion built around ambient "study with me" sessions. Pick a vibe — Quiet Library, Rain Desk, Cafe, Late Night — set any session length, and lock in alongside a warm companion who greets you, checks in along the way, and sends you off when you're done. Your phone can sleep; the session keeps going. Streaks, a daily locked-in log, Live Activity, and a home screen widget are free forever. Private by default — no feeds, no followers, nothing sold.

Productivity / Lifestyle
Built for people who focus better with company
That's not a hack — it's why "study with me" videos and coworking exist. Locked In gives you that presence on demand, without a camera, a schedule, or a stranger on a video call. A warm companion greets you, checks in along the way, and sends you off when you're done — so it feels like someone's in it with you. The core loop — timer, one free vibe, streaks, logging, widget — stays free forever. Membership unlocks every vibe, new packs as they drop, and streak insights.

Key features
What makes Locked In stand out.
01
Focus with presence
Ambient companion sessions that feel like working next to someone — not white-knuckling focus alone. A warm voice greets you, checks in along the way, and sends you off when you're done. Your phone can sleep; the session keeps going.
02
Choose your vibe
Quiet Library, Rain Desk, Cafe, Late Night — each vibe sets a different ambient mood for deep work. One vibe is free forever; membership unlocks every vibe and new packs as they drop.
03
A companion, not just a timer
Gentle voice check-ins keep you company and on track — the differentiator from every plain Pomodoro app. It feels like someone's in it with you, without a camera or a calendar invite.
04
Don't break the chain
Every completed day adds to your streak. Log what you got done and watch your locked-in record grow. Hit 7, 30, and 100 days for shareable milestones.
05
Locked in from your lock screen
Live Activity keeps your timer on the lock screen. A home screen widget quietly guards your streak. Daily-surface proof that you showed up — without opening the app.
06
Private by default
Your sessions, notes, and streaks live on your device. No feeds, no followers, nothing sold. Optional sign-in only syncs your streak across your own devices.

Locked In is a focus companion, not just a countdown. Ambient "study with me" vibes and gentle voice check-ins give you the presence of body doubling — like working next to someone — without a camera, scheduling, or a video call. The timer is part of the experience, but company is the point.
What's free forever?
The full timer (any length), one ambient vibe, streaks, your daily locked-in log, Live Activity, notifications, and the home screen widget. We never gate the core focus loop behind a paywall — membership unlocks every vibe, new packs as they drop, and streak insights.
Do I need an account?
No. Locked In works fully on-device without sign-in. Optional sign-in (Apple Sign-In) only syncs your streak and session history across your own devices — there are no feeds, followers, or social features.
How much is Locked In membership?
Locked In membership is $3.99/month or $24.99/year after a 7-day free trial — every vibe, new packs as they drop, and streak insights. Prefer to pay once? Unlock everything for $59.99. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage in your Apple Account settings.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your sessions, notes, and streaks live on your device by default. We do not sell your data, show ads, or run cross-app tracking. If you opt into sign-in, data syncs only across your own devices via our secure backend — never shared with other users.
