ADHD-friendly by design

Structure that bends with attention: small starts, visible progress, and plans that forgive yesterday.

Patterns that help, honestly stated

The app externalises what working memory drops: the next action has a time, a place (the implementation-intention prompt names where Block 1 starts), and a timer running on it. One clarifying question converts vague intention into a concrete first step — starting is the hard part, so the product optimises for it.

Energy-awareness matters more than rigid timetables: mood and energy check-ins let a low-spoon day produce a lighter plan, and missed days come back smaller instead of as a wall of overdue blocks. Streaks and freezes supply external momentum without making one bad day catastrophic.

What this is not

Locked In is a productivity app, not a medical device: it does not diagnose, treat or claim to manage ADHD, and nothing in it replaces professional care. It is also not therapy — if things are heavy, Tele-MANAS at 14416 is a free 24×7 mental-health helpline in India.

The design language — short sessions, immediate structure, honest adaptation — simply happens to fit how ADHD attention works. Whether it fits you is what the free guest mode is for.

Frequently asked questions

Is Locked In built specifically for ADHD?
It is designed with ADHD-friendly patterns — small first blocks, energy-aware plans, external momentum — but it is a productivity app, not a medical device, and provides no diagnosis or treatment.
What about doomscrolling instead of starting?
The app is built for exactly that loop: type the mess you are in, get one concrete first block with a start time, and let crunch mode tighten when urgency hits. The blog covers practical techniques too.
Do I need a diagnosis or a paid plan?
Neither. Anyone can continue as a guest with free AI messages, and core planning, focus timer and streaks are free.

Locked In was designed around the students most planners fail: the ones who freeze at the start, juggle classes with deadlines, study in the wrong hours, or meet their deadline the night before. Pick the situation that sounds like yours — the pages below explain exactly how the app handles it.
