ReadLock

Lock distracting apps, read daily, and actually finish your books.

ReadLock is a focus app that helps you read more books by removing mobile distractions during your reading sessions.

Pick the apps and websites that distract you most — during your scheduled reading session, ReadLock uses Apple Screen Time APIs to temporarily block them so you can focus. When the session ends, open ReadLock, update your reading progress and notes, and let AI score your comprehension before your apps unlock again.

No account required. No personal data collected. Just you and your books.

Distraction Locking

Lock selected apps and website categories during reading sessions using Apple Screen Time. No loopholes. No overrides.

AI Comprehension Scoring

Write a short note on what you read. ReadLock’s AI scores your focus and understanding before unlocking your apps — so you can’t just skim.
