App blocker a friend controls. Lock your phone to focus, block distractions
FriendLock is the focus app blocker you can't switch off yourself. Lock your phone to focus: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games or any app stays behind a friend, partner or parent — they hold the key, so you actually block distractions instead of negotiating with yourself. Most app lock and screen time apps fail for one reason: you can turn them off. FriendLock puts a real person in the loop. Pick the apps that eat your day, pair with someone you trust, and from then on a blocked app only opens when they approve it or share a 6-digit code. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to block — social media, games, shopping, video, anything 2. Pair with an accountability partner by QR code or invite link 3. Open a blocked app and FriendLock shows the lock screen instead 4. Ask for an unlock: they approve with one tap, or read you a 6-digit code 5. Access is temporary — the app locks again when the time runs out BLOCK THE APPS THAT STEAL YOUR TIME - Social media lock: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, X, Reddit - Video and games: YouTube, Netflix, mobile games - Shopping, news and anything else you keep opening on autopilot KEY FEATURES - App blocker with a second person as the key — accountability, not willpower - Block only Reels, Shorts or Spotlight while the rest of Instagram, YouTube or Snapchat stays open - Website blocker for Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox, Brave, Edge and Opera - Lock hours: block only during study time or after 10 pm, plus a Quick Settings focus tile - Daily allowance: a few free minutes first, then the lock - No friend nearby? Get matched with a FriendLock buddy who holds your key while you hold theirs - Remote approval: one-tap approve or deny from the partner's phone - Offline fallback: time-limited 6-digit codes work over a phone call - Streaks and a shareable weekly card that shows how often FriendLock stopped you - Tamper alerts: your partner is told if protection is turned off - Optional removal protection before uninstall - Custom lock-screen styles and unlock durations (Pro) WHO USES FRIENDLOCK - Students blocking phone distractions during study and exams - Anyone cutting screen time, doomscrolling or phone addiction - Couples and friends doing a digital detox together - Parents and teens who agree on limits, with the parent as approver - People breaking a habit: gaming, late-night scrolling, impulse shopping FREE AND PRO FriendLock Free blocks up to 3 apps and may show ads on in-app screens only, never on the lock screen. FriendLock Pro unlocks unlimited apps and custom lock styles and removes ads. Try Pro free for 7 days. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS FriendLock is a commitment device, not an unbreakable lock. On a normal Android phone the device owner can still bypass restrictions through system actions such as force-stop, Safe Mode, factory reset or ADB. FriendLock adds accountability and visibility, not absolute device control. It is built for self-restriction between people who opt in together and must never be used for covert monitoring. SENSITIVE ACCESS IS USED ONLY FOR APP FUNCTIONALITY - Accessibility Service reads foreground app changes so FriendLock can show the lock screen when an app you chose to block opens. Only for the specific apps and browsers you configure, it also checks which in-app feed or website address is on screen. - Usage Access reads recent foreground app activity as a fallback detector when Accessibility Service is unavailable. - Display over other apps lets FriendLock show the lock screen above the blocked app. - Notifications are used for approval requests, results, tamper alerts and the ongoing protection service notification. - Camera is used only to scan pairing QR codes. - Device admin is optional and used only for removal protection. PRIVACY No account, email or phone number is needed. FriendLock does not sell user data and does not use app activity for ad targeting. App activity is used only to detect the apps you chose to block and to route unlock requests.
