For optimal performance, ensure Lock Me Out is functioning without restrictions on your device!

EFFECTIVE DISTRACTION BLOCKING

The App will help the user not to allow distracting applications and websites but also offer a practical tool to monitor and evaluate internet usage. It will provide information regarding the websites or applications accessed during the blocking period which in turn would help identify less productive online activities and enhance concentration.

Customizable Block Lists: Users can create and customize their block lists according to their specific time-management needs. This will help minimize distractions from unimportant applications or websites, thereby allowing users to concentrate better on more relevant activities without disturbances.

Scheduled Blocking Sessions: The application has a Scheduled Blocking Option which enables the user to schedule timings during which apps or websites would be blocked.

Temporary Lock Mode: It may also be a useful tool for users who feel they are using or spending too much time on apps and websites for a set period of time.

SMART TIME MANAGEMENT

Besides the application and website blocking feature, this application offers customizable optimization tools where users can set flexible rules and lock periods. Thus, users can adjust the Control Level according to their personal needs, from setting short breaks to long-term blocking access to certain applications or websites, thereby enhancing work performance while minimizing distractions.

Usage Tracking Insights: The app usage tracking feature provides the user with an overview of his digital habits. It helps you in reassessing your time consumption, thereby allowing you to change the habits that are not effective and optimized just to work.

Break Timer Feature: The application will allow you to take a real break, which will create an effective work routine and minimize pressure for the employee.

Emergency Override Option: With the emergency override option, a user can access important applications at needed times, and this still does not affect other blocking settings. So, in an emergency situation, you can access essential applications without disrupting your time management plan.

In-Depth Information

App Blocking Options

Three modes are available for app blocking. The first mode disables selected apps while allowing others to function. The second mode permits specified apps and restricts the remaining ones. The third and most stringent mode allows only lock-screen usage, although users can still respond to calls or dial emergency numbers in this setting.

Website Blocking Options

There are two modes for blocking websites. The first mode restricts access to selected URLs or URL keywords while permitting others. The second mode allows specific URLs or URL keywords while blocking the rest.

Usage-Based Lockouts

Lockouts based on usage have criteria that automatically initiate lockouts corresponding to your app usage. You can establish rules based on time spent in determined apps, overall screen time, frequency of app openings, or the number of device unlocks. These usage protocols can be scheduled for implementation at predetermined times.

Scheduled Lockouts

Lockouts can also be set to occur at chosen times, irrespective of actual usage.

Lockout Features

Each lockout includes customizable options:

• Periodic unlocking with regular intervals (like the Pomodoro technique)

• Conceal notifications from restricted apps

• Enable Do Not Disturb (DND) mode

• Mute the ringer

• Lockout limited to specific physical places

• Allow payment to terminate the lockout early

Reducing notifications plays a crucial role in minimizing interruptions, which is essential for maintaining focus, productivity, and mental well-being. Restricting lockouts to particular locations—such as schools or gyms—can enhance concentration where distractions are prevalent. Decreasing nighttime phone usage may also lead to better quality sleep.

Premium Version

The premium version provides unlimited lockouts, apps, websites, and locations. It offers an option to prevent uninstallation and tampering, ensuring that you can't bypass the lockouts. Consider upgrading to bolster future development! Our goal is to assist everyone in overcoming their dependency. If premium access is financially challenging for you, please reach out to us.

The Accessibility Service permission is necessary to identify which apps or websites are active, thereby enabling the blocking of your selected apps and websites. No data collected through the Accessibility Service is stored or shared in any manner.
