FreeLock

The premise

Pick any NFC-enabled card you already own — a hotel keycard, a transit card, a metro pass, an old hotel key from the drawer. Pair it with FreeLock. Choose the apps you want to lock. From then on, those apps stay locked until you walk back to your card and tap it to your phone.

When the unlock is a physical action, you stop unlocking by accident.

How it feels

• Lock a set of apps in one tap
• Use any NFC card you own — no special hardware, no purchase
• Keep the card on your desk, at your office, with your partner — wherever the friction belongs
• Emergency unlock by biometrics with a deliberate delay (for the moments you actually need it)
• Optional accountability — tell a trusted contact when you emergency-unlock
• Battery-friendly. It stays out of the way until you need it.

Privacy

FreeLock keeps everything on your device. No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking. A focus tool should never become the thing distracting you.
