Lockout
A behavioural wellbeing app that turns distracting apps into something you have to earn — using physical challenges and on-device verification to turn automatic scrolling into deliberate action.
Lockout is an iPhone app built on behavioural friction. You choose the apps you lose time to, and the app puts a physical challenge between you and them: push-ups, squats, sit-ups, jumping jacks or a walk.
Complete the challenge and you earn temporary access. The point is not punishment — it is the pause. A tap that used to be automatic has to become a decision, and the cost of that decision is movement.
Verification happens on the device. It is the studio's most complete consumer product to date, and the clearest example of the pattern the archive keeps returning to: take something people do without thinking, and make it cost a little something.
Live, and in active development.
