How it works

A tiny device that makes focus physical.

Airlock turns app blocking into a deliberate action. The device is the key, so unlocking takes more than a swipe and a second thought.

01

Choose the apps

Pick the apps that pull you out of work, rest, study, or time with people.

02

Tap Airlock

Touch your phone to the NFC device to start a lock session with a physical action.

03

Tap again to unlock

When you are ready to use them again, tap the device once more. No hidden bypass flow.

Why it exists

Your attention should not depend on willpower alone.

Airlock adds a small amount of useful friction before the apps that tend to steal your time. It is for the moments when you know what you want to do, but your phone keeps pulling you somewhere else.

Your attention is your life - and it is being stolen from you.

Use cases

Set a boundary before the scroll starts.

Deep work blocks

Leave Airlock away from your desk and stay with one important task.

Bedtime wind-down

Keep late-night feeds out of reach when it is time to rest.

Study sessions

Protect a focused hour without negotiating with every notification.

Meals and family time

Make the people in front of you easier to choose than the next scroll.

Built for intentional access

The apps can wait. The moment in front of you should not.

One tap creates the boundary. One more tap opens it again. Airlock keeps the choice in your hands.
