Smartphone struggles?Let’s solve them the fun way, with SeeLock

Take a closer look at the features

Getting in is as easy as the stock timer.

Pick hours, minutes, and seconds on the familiar wheel, then press the lock button. It works just like the iPhone Clock app, so there's nothing to learn. While it runs, a circular timer quietly shows the time left.

Make SeeLock yours.

You open it every day—so make it look like you. Wallpapers and theme colors turn SeeLock into your own.

Wallpapers

Lay a wallpaper behind the screen where your emoji balls roll. Patterns like dots, diamonds, stripes, and waves, or any photo you like. It stirs gently each time the screen opens and sways with the tilt of your phone.

Theme colors

Twelve colors restyle more than the accent—the shield screen, widgets, even the app icon on your Home Screen.

Your focus gets a face.

Every finished lock spawns an emoji ball with one of 100+ random faces, piling up with real physics. You get one more ball every 10 minutes; at 60 minutes they merge into one medium ball, and at 120 minutes into one large ball—and past 120 minutes, another one. Your progress literally stacks up.

Every face you meet goes in the book.

There are more than 100 emoji faces in all, and which one you get is a little surprise at the end of each session. Every face you meet is recorded in the Emoji Collection—with how often it appeared and the day you first found it. Faces you haven't met stay as silhouettes… and before you know it, you'll want them all.

Close your own escape routes.

Unlocking takes a 3-second hold. Three restriction levels range from “stop anytime” to “no way out”—pick the strength that fits you.

Normal

Stop whenever you like. Start here.

Lockdown Mode

No unlocking while the timer runs. For serious sessions.

Ultimate Mode

Even deleting the app is blocked. No escape.

Everything around the lock, covered.

Automatic locks on a schedule

Reserve locks by weekday and time—like 23:00–9:00 on weekdays. They start on their own.

Records kept for you

Finished locks are logged automatically. Bar charts and heatmaps show your focus adding up.

Widgets and Apple Watch

Widget and Live Activity support—check the remaining time from your Apple Watch too.

40+ alarm sounds

Pick from more than 40 sounds, with real-time haptics that pulse along with the melody.

Try just 30 seconds of focus.
