Hi Product Hunt 👋

I am a high school student from Hong Kong, and growing up in a traditional Asian family I have experienced all sorts of tiger parenting by my parents. It is surprisingly effective in how they can help control my screen time. Knowing lots of my friends with parents that are more 'chill', they personally want to be controlled as well on their screen time. Therefore, I built this app with a sassy mascot that mimics the tiger parents they want to help control their screen time.

I believe it has a unique approach to managing screen time. It uses a concept that’s similar to Duolingo’s mascot, our tiger mom mascot “Lok” provides similar encouragement in reducing screen time. It double downs on the stereotype of Asian tiger parenting, where people aren’t allowed their phones until they finished their tasks. Using such ways to gamify screen time is effective to all of the beta testers of this app, and I am sure that it will benefit the world as well!

Please check it out: LockedIn: Screen Time Control on App Store! I would love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, or bug reports! Or just say hi! :)

Continued: I worked really hard to build this product and I am extremely proud to present this product to the world. Thank you very much for showing your support, it means the world to me!

@cchc Are there options to customize how strict or playful Lok can be?

@ayeshaakram Yes there are!

I love the sassy mascot vibe it makes everything so much more enjoyable. Can I tweak Lok’s tone or character to fit my style?

@sophie_wood Thank you! Of course it is customisable :)

Happy to see another "digital detox"/Productivity app! :) Welcome to the board. :)

@busmark_w_nika Thanks Nika! I launched LockedIn because I found most screen time apps dull and ineffective, especially for younger users. I wanted to build something fun and engaging that people would actually enjoy using to cut screen time. So here it is! 😄 I bet it’d pair great with a minimalist phone setup too. 😉
