DharmaLock: Buddhist Focus

Replace scrolling with mindful presence.

Every time you reach for social media, DharmaLock steps in with a moment of awareness. Instead of mindless scrolling, you engage with Buddhist teachings — reading a sutta from the Pali Canon, reflecting on the Dharma, or sitting in brief meditation. Cultivate right attention with every unlock.

WHAT YOU GET:
- Lock any app behind Buddhist teachings — choose Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, or any app
- Multiple unlock methods — sutta reading, fill-in-the-blank, word selection, and timed meditation
- Mood-based teaching selection — receive passages matched to your present state of mind
- Smart scheduling — set daily practice times or create custom lock periods
- Mala bead counter — track your meditation and chanting practice
- Family-friendly — uses Apple Screen Time to enforce locks reliably

4. Read, reflect, and unlock — choosing presence over distraction
