Apple’s Screen Time is great in theory, but in practice, it’s too easy to turn off.

If the lock is on your phone, it’s just a few taps away from being disabled – especially when temptation hits.

Locked adds a physical layer of accountability.

You literally can’t unlock distractions unless you have the locked tag with you.

That extra step makes a huge difference when you’re trying to stay focused or break habits.

It’s the friction that changes behavior.

Magic? Almost.

It’s an NFC tag paired with our app.

When you tap your phone to the Locked tag, it triggers your chosen focus mode, hiding your distracting apps that you selected to be completely unusable until you tap to unlock.

Once you’ve used all your emergency unlocks (you get three), the app won’t let you unlock your phone that way anymore.

At that point, your only option is to delete the Brick app entirely, which will restore full access to your phone.

That’s intentional – it forces you to treat the tool seriously.

If you're consistently running out of emergency unlocks, that’s a sign it’s working to expose how often you give in to distractions.

Yes. We’re not monsters. Life happens.

If you really need access and don’t have your Locked tag on hand, you can use the “Emergency Unlock” feature inside the app.

It’s designed for situations where you might’ve forgotten your Locked tag, or can’t get to it but need your apps back urgently.

You only get three of these, so it’s there when you truly need it.

Not as a shortcut every time you get bored.

If you lose your Locked tag, you’re not totally locked out.

You can still unlock your phone using the emergency unlock feature inside the app.

That gives you a three chances to regain access without needing the physical tag.

If you've used upp all of your emergency unlocks, or you can’t find the tag after that, you can always order a replacement.

The goal is to make the system strong enough to stop impulse unlocks, but not so strict that you're stuck if the tag goes missing.

Yes, you can.

Deleting the app will instantly remove all restrictions and lock your phone.

There’s no hidden lock-in.

But again, that’s part of the design.

Locked isn’t trying to trap you – it gives you tools to help you choose focus.

If you’re uninstalling it regularly just to open TikTok, that tells you something about your phone habits.

The point is to build awareness, not enforce rules.

Yep. You can reinstall the app any time and reuse your same Locked tag.

It’s not strictly paired to one phone forever.

Just go through the setup again, re-pair your Locked tag, and you’re back in business.

If anything, it shows that Locked is designed to be flexible – serious enough to help you focus, but forgiving if life gets in the way.

Nope. No batteries. No charging. No cables.

Just tap and go. It’s the most low-maintenance thing you’ll own, next to that succulent you forgot you had.

Yes, Locked doesn't need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Locked works offline, anytime, anywhere.

Yes, multiple iPhones can pair to the same Locked tag.

This is designed for families, households, couples, or even if you have a work phone.
