Your Mac holds the key.
PhoneLock blocks the iPhone apps that eat your day. Only your Mac can unblock them, so when you walk away, they stay locked.
Free beta · iPhone + MacInstall both. Each link opens Apple's free TestFlight app — open the iPhone link on your iPhone and the Mac link on your Mac.
How it works
Pair your phone and Mac
Scan a code on your Mac with PhoneLock on your iPhone. That's it — no account, no sign-up.
Pick the apps to lock
Instagram, TikTok, games, whatever pulls you in. Tap Lock now and they're blocked.
Do what you actually wanted to do
Plan your missions for the day. Finish them, and unlocking feels earned.
Unlock at your desk
Your Mac shows a code that changes every 30 seconds. Scan it to unlock. Away from your Mac? Your apps stay locked.
Made to get your time back
Missions
Plan your day with times, categories, notes and photos. Repeat the ones you do every day.
Earn your unlock
Unlocking stays dimmed until your missions are done.
Smart scheduling
PhoneLock suggests free times around your calendar and deadlines.
"What did you want to do?"
When you open a blocked app, save what you wanted to do there for later.
Emergency unlocks
Three 5-minute passes for real emergencies. Recharge them at your Mac.
Sleep better
A morning alarm, a bedtime suggestion, and no emergency unlocks during wind-down.
Questions
What if I lose my Mac?
When you pair, your Mac shows a recovery code. Save it, and it unlocks your phone once so you can pair a new Mac.
Does PhoneLock see what I do on my phone?
No. Everything stays on your devices — no accounts, no servers, no ads. Read the privacy policy.
What do I need?
An iPhone and a Mac, plus Apple's free TestFlight app on both. Open the iPhone link on your iPhone and the Mac link on your Mac.
Is it free?
Yes, the beta is free. We just ask for honest feedback.
