The little details / FAQ

Good questions.
Simple answers.

Everything you need to know about your new off switch.

How does Locke work?

Choose the apps you want to block in the Locke app, then tap your phone against the Locke NFC sticker to switch blocking on. Tap again to turn it off.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Locke is designed around a one-time sticker purchase with no recurring subscription fee.

Which phones does Locke support?

Locke currently works with compatible iPhones only. We don't have Android support today, and it isn't planned for the near future.

Can I choose which apps to block?

Yes. You choose your distracting apps in the Locke app, rather than blocking everything on your phone.

What if I lose my sticker?

Open the Locke app and request a reset. There's a 24-hour waiting period before the reset completes — this security hold keeps someone else from taking over your account if your sticker is lost or stolen. Once it's done, you can pair a new sticker and keep going.

Can I use any NFC sticker?

Yes. Locke uses standard NFC technology rather than a proprietary radio system, so your own compatible NFC tags work too. Check the app for supported tag types and setup steps.

What's included in my purchase?

One Locke NFC sticker and access to the Locke app. The sticker is designed to be a simple physical reminder to put your phone down.

Still curious? Check the help center in the Locke app or reach out to support for more detailed setup help.
