Before the scroll, take the seat.
MonkLock turns distracting app opens into a short discipline ritual. Close the gate, breathe through the impulse, then choose with intention.
Train the pause before the impulse.
Your phone is designed to make the loop automatic. MonkLock adds one intentional moment before the scroll.
Choose your distractions
Select the apps that pull you into autopilot using Apple Screen Time controls.
Close the gate
When Monk Mode is active, those apps become a gate instead of an instant escape.
Take the seat
Complete a short ritual: breathe, reflect, and let the urge lose momentum.
Choose after
Unlock intentionally, stay protected in Hard Mode, or return to what matters.
A discipline ritual, not another dashboard.
MonkLock is built to feel calm, private, and firm. No social feed. No account maze. No shame loops.
Block distracting apps
Use iOS Screen Time permissions to turn selected apps into a deliberate gate.
Ritual before access
A short breathing and reflection flow interrupts autopilot before you open the app.
Hard Mode
For serious sessions, complete the ritual while the gate stays closed.
Emergency Bypass
An intentional escape hatch that asks for a reason and a full hold before opening.
67-day discipline path
Track the quiet proof: rituals, mindful minutes, returns, and gates held.
Local-first by design
Built for personal discipline, not surveillance. No accounts required for the core app.
Coming soon for iPhone.
MonkLock is in final iOS testing. App Store availability will follow after Apple Screen Time entitlement review, subscription setup, and final device QA.
