Vigil Lock

Vigil Lock is a hard-focus app blocker that locks distracting apps at the system level, so you can finish real study and deep-work sessions. Built for serious learners and disciplined users, it helps you shut out TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, games, browsers, and other distractions when it matters most. No cute rewards. No fake focus. No gamified fluff. Just real blocking, harder sessions, and proof that you showed up. REAL APP BLOCKING Vigil Lock uses Apple’s Screen Time system to block distracting apps and categories at the system level. Social media, games, streaming, and browsers can be locked the moment your session begins. THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS Choose how strict your session should be: Easy — 3 emergency unlocks per session Hard — 0 unlocks Hell — 0 unlocks, and leaving early voids the session THE IGNITION RITUAL Every session begins with a 3-step focus ritual designed to help you lock in before the timer starts: Schulte Grid to sharpen attention Box breathing to calm mental noise Identity priming to reinforce intent You do not just start a timer. You enter a state. FOCUS MODES Use Pomodoro Timer for structured work and rest intervals, or Timed Focus for one goal, one duration, and no easy escape. PROTOCOLS Choose a discipline style that fits your day: The Monk The Executive The Scholar The Athlete Apply one and your blocking rules are set automatically. SCHEDULED BLOCKING Define the hours of your day that belong to study or deep work. Vigil Lock enforces them automatically, so you do not have to rely on willpower every time. SESSION RECEIPTS Every session ends with a record of what happened: time focused, unlocks used, and a discipline score. Keep proof of the session you actually completed. Vigil Lock is for people who already know what they should be doing — and want a tool that makes it harder to escape. Start with a 3-day free trial.
