Pause before the scroll begins.

BodhiLock helps you choose distracting apps, notice your state of mind, read a Buddhist-inspired quote, and unlock with intention instead of impulse.

Built for iPhone. No account required in the current version.

How it works

1

Select apps

Use Apple's Screen Time controls to choose apps you want BodhiLock to interrupt.

2

Take a mindful pause

Check in with your presence, read a curated Buddhist quote, and set an intention.

3

Unlock deliberately

Open the app for a focused window instead of drifting into an automatic loop.

Designed to stay simple.

BodhiLock is a small ritual, not another feed. The current app is local-first, account-free, and built around clear boundaries for sensitive reflection data.

No account required Start without a profile or sign-in flow.
Local-first by design Preferences, streaks, and quote history stay on your device where possible.
Clear boundaries Exact selected app names and private reflection text are not used for product analytics.
