Plug in your charger.
Lock your distractions.
The moment you charge your phone, ChargeLock shuts the apps that waste your time — and only lets you back in if you solve a quick challenge.
You know exactly
how this goes.
Forty minutes gone, apps you didn't mean to open, willpower that ran out before lunch. ChargeLock doesn't ask you to try harder — it removes the choice at the one moment you can't argue with: when you plug in.
"You pick up your phone to check the time."
"Somehow, 40 minutes of Instagram later, you're still on the couch."
Sound familiar? — ChargeLock breaks that loop. Automatically.
Three steps. No toggle to remember.
Plug in
The charger goes in, and the apps that waste your time lock instantly. No willpower needed — the trigger does it for you.
Stay locked
Every other app lets you tap "ignore" and keep scrolling. ChargeLock doesn't — the apps stay shielded until you earn your way back.
Solve to unlock
A quick math challenge. Easy ones take five seconds — enough friction to ask yourself if you actually want to open that app.
Pick what starts the lock.
All three run automatically once you turn them on — nothing to open, nothing to remember.
Charging Lock
Plug in and apps lock automatically. Most people charge 2–3 hours a day — that's 2–3 hours you could be present.
Low Battery Lock
Battery below 30%? Instead of doomscrolling on your last 10%, ChargeLock locks distractions automatically.
Manual Focus Sessions
Start a 15-min, 30-min, or 1-hour session anytime. Lock your apps, set your timer, get to work.
You're not building a habit. Your charger is.
Every benefit below comes from the same one action you already do every day — nothing extra to remember.
The first plug-in
Charge your phone tonight the way you already do, and the apps that eat your evening lock themselves. You didn't decide anything — the charger did. That's the whole trick.
Most people charge 2–3 hours a day. Lock even half of that and you've reclaimed the better part of a workday every week — not by trying harder, just by plugging in the way you already were.
Gentler on your battery tooPartial charges and unplugging around 80% — which Battery Care nudges you toward every time — put far less strain on a lithium battery than constantly topping off to 100%. Same habit, a battery that ages a little slower.
No willpower left to spend
By now it's not a habit you're maintaining — it's just what happens when you charge your phone. The lock, the walk, the challenge: none of it needed willpower once it stopped being a decision.
Not just a wall. A whole habit.
Everything below runs locally, on your phone. ChargeLock never sees which apps you use, what you type, or what you view.
