Block Apps & Focus | AcornLock

For everyone who can't stop saying "just one more scroll."

AcornLock is a self-control app that uses Apple's official Screen Time API to genuinely block the apps you choose. What makes it different from typical app blockers? There's a real cost to unlocking.

When you crave the apps you've locked, just shake your phone. They'll unlock for a set time—but at a price. The acorns your squirrel has been quietly collecting? Some of them vanish at random.

"Wait, did I just lose my rare one…?" That moment of loss puts a gentle brake on your impulses.

Tired of apps that only ask you to grit your teeth and resist? AcornLock turns the time you don't spend on your phone into something worth collecting.

Built for people who:
・Lose hours to Instagram, TikTok, X, or YouTube
・Want to change habits through gameplay, not pure willpower
・Love collecting cute things


CORE FEATURES

■ Real blocking with Screen Time control
Powered by Apple's official Family Controls API, your chosen apps are blocked the moment you hit your limit. No relying on willpower alone.

■ A squirrel that collects for you
While your selected apps are under restriction, a squirrel quietly gathers acorns in the background. They pile up while you live your life.

■ Shake to unlock = lose your acorns
To unlock, just shake your phone. But 50% of your unjarred acorns vanish at random.

■ Collect acorns
From everyday brown acorns to legendary rainbow ones, every drop is a small surprise.

■ Seal them in jars for permanent safekeeping
Reach 50 acorns and you can seal them in a jar. Jarred acorns are safe forever, even when you shake to unlock.

■ A wooden shelf of your wins
Completed jars line up on your wooden shelf, a visible record of your self-discipline. One jar = about a week of staying strong.
