About DeepLock

DeepLock is an app blocker for Android, with a companion Chrome extension, that enforces screen time limits instead of only reminding you about them. You pick the apps that pull you in, such as Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, and set a limit. When the limit is reached, the app closes the distracting app automatically.

Main features include Auto Guard, which blocks apps once a limit is crossed; Sleep Guard, which closes selected apps during a bedtime window you set once and that repeats nightly; Screen Time Mirror, which shows which apps use your attention; and clean-day tracking. Home screen widgets display focus, streaks and time saved. The vendor says no account is needed and that data stays on the device.

DeepLock is a commercial product that is free to start, with an Android app and a Chrome extension both listed as live. It suits people trying to cut late-night scrolling or reduce daily time on social media, especially those who found reminder-only blockers too easy to bypass.
