Unlock your apps by unlocking your kindness.
Virtue Lock is a habit-forming app that encourages you to reflect on daily acts of kindness. Record a good deed to unlock your favorite apps each evening.
Virtue Lock uses Apple's Screen Time API to block selected apps during your chosen hours (default: 9 PM onwards). To unlock them, simply record an act of kindness you performed that day. Once recorded, your apps are unlocked for the rest of the day.
Anything kind or positive counts! Choose from six categories: Helped someone, Expressed gratitude, Gave something, Made someone smile, Self-care, or Other good deed. You can describe your deed via voice or text.
Absolutely. All your data is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your personal information, virtue records, or app selections. See our Privacy Policy for details.
