The little details / FAQ
Good questions.
Simple answers.
Everything you need to know about your new off switch.
How does Locke work?
Choose the apps you want to block in the Locke companion app, then tap your phone against the Locke NFC sticker to switch blocking on. Tap again to turn it off.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Locke is designed around a one-time sticker purchase with no recurring subscription fee.
Which phones does Locke support?
Locke is being developed for compatible iPhones. Exact iOS requirements and supported models will be confirmed before launch. Android support is not currently promised.
Can I choose which apps to block?
Yes. The goal is to let you choose your distracting apps in the companion app, rather than blocking everything on your phone.
What if I lose my sticker?
We plan to provide a recovery option so you aren't permanently locked out. The exact recovery process will be published when the app launches.
Can I use any NFC sticker?
We encourage you to use your own compatible NFC tags. Locke uses NFC technology rather than a proprietary radio system. Supported tag types and setup details will be confirmed before launch.
What's included in my purchase?
One Locke NFC sticker and access to the companion app once released. The sticker is designed to be a simple physical reminder to put your phone down.
Still curious? More setup and support information is coming as Locke gets closer to launch.
