About

WritersLock is a journaling app that locks your distracting apps until you've written today's entry. They stay locked until the words are down. Write first, scroll later.

Choose which apps to lock and when, so the rest of your phone keeps working. Journal, gratitude log, dream diary, or a guided prompt: hit your writing goal and everything unlocks for the day. It's a simple way to beat doomscrolling and build a writing habit that sticks.

Works on iPhone and Android. Private by design: your entries are encrypted and never leave your device. There's a free 3-day trial.

Voting and comments open when the launch week starts (Launches the week of Nov 9, 2026).
