From doomscroll to gratitude, in thirty seconds.
Gratitude Lock puts one specific moment of gratitude in front of the apps that take your attention. It's almost here — join the waitlist and you'll be first through the door.
BACKED BY 38+ RANDOMIZED STUDIESA NUDGE, NOT A LOCKOUTENTRIES STAY ON YOUR PHONE
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. The middle one is the point.
01
You pick the apps
Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X — whatever pulls you in. We gate them with your phone's own Screen Time (iOS) and Usage Access (Android). Nothing bolted on, nothing sneaky.
02
You write one moment
Tap to open, and a paper card slides up instead. Two fields: what you're grateful for, and why. The "why" takes the thank-you from reflex to real recall.
03
The app unlocks
You get the rest of the session, or until 11 PM — your choice. The moment is saved to a journal only you can read. No badges, no guilt, nothing to break.
WHY IT WORKS
Across four decades of research, one pattern holds: specificgratitude — one moment, one reason — moves the needle on mood and sleep. Generic lists don’t.

EARLY ACCESS
Good things come to those who wait. First.
01
First through the door
Waitlist members get in before the public launch — and we’ll tell you the moment it opens.
02
A founder price
Waitlist members get a discount on their first year of Premium — our thanks for being early. We’ll send the offer the day we open.
03
Help shape the pause
Early members tell us which prompts actually make the practice stick. You shape what everyone else gets.
QUESTIONS
Before you join.
When does it launch?
We're in the final stretch. Join the list and we'll tell you the moment it's live — that's the only email you'll get until then.
What will it cost?
The app is free to use, forever. Premium (€4.99/month or €29.99/year) adds a private weekly insight, mood tracking and a PDF keepsake; Ad-free (€1.99/month) just removes the ads. No trial, no catch. See the full pricing.
Does Gratitude Lock work on iPhone and Android?
Both. iOS 17+ and Android 13+ at launch.
Will you spam me?
No. One launch email. We never sell your data, and your journal entries never leave your phone.
Is Gratitude Lock just another app blocker?
No lockouts. A 30-second gratitude pause you can skip — a gentle nudge, not a wall.
Be there when the pause opens.
One specific moment of gratitude, right where the scrolling starts. Free to use, for as long as you like.
