Instead of relying on a friend to hold your blocker password, e.g. an iPhone Screen Time pin, store it in software and undergo a tedious 20 min process to retrieve it, deterring you from accessing it to disable blocks while still maintaining full control.
Hey everyone! In the past, I used iPhone Screen Time to limit social media and YouTube but I would know the 4-digit passcode and could just disable the block😐
Then I tried some other distraction-blocking apps like freedom.to, but they all had workarounds (since they weren't native to the device) that rendered them useless.
So I returned to Screen Time and let a friend enter and hold the passcode for me. This worked, until I tricked her into giving it to me by making up some legitimate-sounding excuse. Plus it was inconvenient and unreliable.
So I built Password Locker, where you store a blocker password like a Screen Time pin, and to retrieve it, you have to go through a tedious 20 min process like counting the number of times the number "2" appears in a list of numbers.
The retrieval is annoying enough that I never feel like disabling the block, but I know I can get the pin back at anytime without needing to rely on someone else.
And there's a clever feature specifically for Screen Time that helps you enter a 4-digit passcode into your phone in a way you won't remember.
If you have a friend hold onto your blocker password for you, like Screen Time, Password Locker is for you!
