TodoLock - Task to Unlock Apps

Description

Your to-do list says "finish the report." Your fingers open Instagram.

TodoLock makes a simple deal: lock your most distracting apps until today's tasks are done. Complete everything — apps unlock automatically. It's productivity enforced by structure, not willpower.

▸ WHY TASK-BASED LOCKING WORKS

Psychology calls it "implementation intention" — tying a reward to a specific action. TodoLock turns this into a system: no completed tasks, no social media. Once you finish, the reward is instant and automatic.

▸ IS THIS YOU?

• You open "just one app" during work and lose 30 minutes
• Your to-do list grows while your screen time does too
• You've tried app timers but just tap "ignore limit"
TodoLock removes the choice entirely. Tasks first, apps later.

▸ KEY FEATURES

• Task-based lock — Apps stay locked until all due tasks are done
• Auto-unlock — Complete your tasks, apps open instantly
• Smart scheduling — Set when the shield activates each day
• Apple Reminders sync — Import tasks automatically
• Temporary bypass — Need a quick break? Limited unlocks per day (Pro)
• Customizable cooldown — Set intervals between bypasses (Pro)
• Usage reports — See your screen time trends (Pro)
• Home Screen widgets — Track task progress at a glance

▸ PRO PLAN

Free: 1 locked app, 10-min bypass, basic features
Pro: Unlimited apps, custom bypass duration (5/10/15 min), daily bypass limits (0–5), cooldown settings, usage reports

▸ PRIVACY

TodoLock uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls). Your app usage data never leaves your device — no accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

What's new (v1.2.0)

- Fixed an issue where the lock for the next day would not trigger when there were no scheduled tasks for today, but tasks were scheduled for tomorrow and beyond.
- Fixed an issue where the app would sometimes display "All tasks completed!" even before the lock start time.
