Gentle return
Need your phone? Come back without drama.
No scorekeeping. No partner dashboard.
Both agree first. Each phone stays private.
Both tap in.
The pause starts only after both phones confirm. It feels like a tiny shared promise.
Apps fade out.
Each person keeps their own app picks private. Your partner sees the moment, not your phone habits.
You are offline together.
The timer, mood, and paused-app status are all you need. No feed, no score, no checking up.
Back when needed.
Unlock early when real life needs your phone. DuoLock is a ritual, not a trap.
The phone part is tiny. The us part is the point.
DuoLock starts as a tap on both phones, then gets out of the way.
Built for trust.
You choose your apps. Your partner gets the moment, not a report.
Your choices stay yours
Pick the apps you want to pause on your own phone.
No partner dashboard
No list of your apps. No activity feed. No checking up.
No scorekeeping
No usage reports, streak pressure, or shame stats.
Easy way back
Need your phone? End the pause and get back to real life.
Real questions.
Can my partner see which apps I picked?
No. App, category, and website choices stay on your iPhone.
Can my partner pause my phone?
No. Both people say yes first, and your phone only pauses the apps you selected.
Can I end a session early?
Yes. Unlock Early ends the pause on your phone right away.
Does DuoLock track app usage?
No. DuoLock does not show app reports, opened-app events, ads, or scorekeeping.
Why does DuoLock need Screen Time permission?
So your phone can pause the apps you selected during an active shared session.
