The problem
Students often study on the same devices that compete for their attention. A timer can mark out a session, but it does little to prevent switching to another app or show what a student has understood. LockedIn addresses both focus and recall.
The approach
The desktop app combines operating-system-level app blocking with a dedicated study mode. Quizzes generated from the student's own notes and PDFs provide a way to review the material after studying. Scheduled sessions, a mobile companion and financial pledges add structure and accountability.
The build
- —Native controls on macOS and Windows block distracting apps and return focus to the study session.
- —AI-generated quizzes use the student's PDFs and notes, with five question types including self-assessed written answers.
- —A weekly timetable starts sessions automatically, supported by local reminders and launch at login.
- —A wallet funded by bank transfer lets students attach a financial pledge to a study goal.
- —A React Native companion app extends the product to mobile.
The outcome
LockedIn shipped for macOS and Windows, with a mobile companion on Google Play and a product website at staylockedin.xyz.
