Lock distracting apps on a timer, pay once

LockHour Pro shields chosen apps and websites until your timer runs out, then unlocks them automatically. Preset modes cover Quick Focus, Deep Work, Study Mode with Pomodoro-style cycles, Sleep Wind Down, Morning Reset, plus a custom length. Hard Mode adds a 60-second cooldown and a typed confirmation before you can stop early.

Stats show today’s focused time, weekly charts, streaks and reclaimed hours. Widgets for Home and Lock Screen and a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island track the running session. The developer states no account, no ads, no tracking and that data stays on the device; the App Store listing reports no data collected. Requires iOS 17 or later; 44 languages.

Why no subscription? The download is free and a single Lifetime Unlock at $4.99 unlocks everything, with no subscription and no hidden fees.
