Only the apps you chose. Everything else waits outside.

Your phone contains everything.

But everything does not belong in every moment.

Engineered interruptions

Every red dot and buzz is designed to pull you back in — and it works.

Endless feeds

Built to keep you scrolling long past the moment you opened the app.

The swipe loop

One quick check becomes twenty swipes, and the hour is gone before you notice.

So you set a timer. You delete the apps. You swear this time will be different. Then one message dings, one swipe becomes twenty, and you are three videos deep, wondering where the hour went. The guilt is not the solution — it is part of the problem.

Why AuraLock

Built around a simple idea: your phone should adapt to your intention, not fight against it.

Before → After

The old way: block everything and fight your phone.

The AuraLock way: choose what stays alive, and let the boundary do the rest.

01

You stay in charge

No app decides what you see. You do. Every Aura is your call about what deserves this moment.

02

Only what matters is available

The apps that support this moment — notes, calendar, music — stay alive. Everything else waits quietly outside.

03

The boundary fits the moment

Standard when you need room to breathe. Strict when you cannot afford to break focus. You pick.

04

Every Aura is yours

Deep Work is not Family Time, and it should not be. Each Aura is shaped exactly to what you are doing right now.

05

No guilt, no willpower

The boundary does the heavy lifting, so you are not left fighting yourself at 3 p.m.

A calm home for your attention

Your Aura, journal, goals, and insights — a view of your day built around your attention, not its interruptions.

From distraction to focus in four steps

No buried settings. No willpower required. Just the choice you make once.

01

Pick the moment

Deep Work. Study. Family Time. Sleep. Name what this hour is for — or invent your own.

02

Choose what stays alive

Only the apps that actually support the moment. Notes. Calendar. Music. Everything else waits outside.

Set your boundary

Standard when you need room to breathe. Strict when the moment cannot afford to lose you.

04

Enter your Aura

Your phone becomes exactly what you chose — calm, quiet, and nothing more.

What stays alive?

The question that makes focus effortless. You pick the apps for each moment; the app handles the rest.

While the Aura holds, your focus holds

Once it is active, your phone quietly becomes the space you asked for. Only your chosen apps are reachable, and the timer keeps your promise visible.

This is not restriction. It is protection. Your Aura guards the time you chose — so your attention stops being yours to lose.

Standard or Strict — how much does this moment cost?

Two boundaries, one choice. Match your boundary to what you are protecting.

Standard — flexible focus

For the moments you want a gentle edge: you stay on track, but you still hold the wheel.

  • Pause when you genuinely need a break
  • Extend the session when you are in flow
  • An escape hatch for real needs
  • Built for most everyday focus

Strict — locked-in focus

For the moments you cannot afford to lose. The boundary holds until the exact time you set.

  • Committed to the exact end time you set
  • No pause, no exit — the Aura holds until it ends
  • Emergency release for genuine emergencies
  • Made for deadlines and deep work

Protect your best hours automatically

Set Deep Work to begin every weekday at 9 a.m. Let Sleep take over at 10 p.m. The hours you say matter actually get protected.

Scheduled Auras can start on their own or wait for your go-ahead. The schedule runs on autopilot — but you are always the one in control.

Your focus, on autopilot

Set an Aura that starts itself — up to 24 hours of protected focus, every weekend, without lifting a finger. The boundary shows up on your lock screen and holds until you say otherwise.

Up to 24 hours

Set an Aura that lasts as long as your focus needs — from a quick sprint to an entire day of protected time.

Weekend protection

Your best hours deserve boundaries too. Schedule Autopilot for weekends when distraction is highest and focus matters most.

Lock screen visibility

See your active Autopilot Aura directly on your lock screen — the timer, the apps staying alive, and the time remaining.

Standard or Strict

Same boundary choices as any Aura. Standard when you want flexibility. Strict when the session cannot afford to break.

Automatic start

No tap required. Your Aura begins at the scheduled time and holds the boundary until the session ends.

Always in control

Pause, extend, or end anytime (Standard). The schedule runs on autopilot — but you are always the one in charge.

Everything you need

Calm, intentional tools for focused phone use — from a single session to a lifetime rhythm.

The core promise

Choose what stays alive

The core promise. You pick the apps that support the moment — everything else waits outside. No fights, no willpower.

Standard or Strict

Flexible when you need room to breathe. Locked-in when you cannot afford to lose a minute. Match the boundary to the moment.

One-tap focus presets

Quick Focus, Deep Work, Power Hour. A protected session in a single tap — before the urge to scroll even registers.

Aura schedules

Your Deep Work mornings and evening wind-downs start themselves. The hours you say matter actually get protected.

Goals, streaks & journal

A daily goal that keeps you honest, a streak you will not want to break, and a journal that turns focus into a practice.

Guardian health check

Verifies permissions and battery settings, so your boundary never silently drops when you are deep in the work.

On-device privacy

Sessions, journal, and insights stay on your phone. No account, no cloud, no one watching.

Tablets & foldables

The same boundary on any screen. Full layouts on tablets, graceful reflow on foldables.

Aura Guard

Optional screenshot blocking keeps your Aura private — from prying eyes and accidental taps.

Focus soundscapes

Offline ambient sound that plays only while your Aura runs — and stops the moment it ends.

Accountability Auras

A trusted partner can request an Aura, so your goals stay honest even from a distance.

Autopilot mode

Set an Aura that starts itself — up to 24 hours of automatic focus. Weekend deep work, full-day study blocks, or overnight protection, without lifting a finger.

Progression system

Earn Focus XP. Level up. Unlock more.

AuraLock rewards consistency. Every completed Aura earns Focus XP — the more focused you are, the more you unlock.

How Focus XP works

Earn 1 XP for every 5 minutes of focus. Bonus XP for Strict mode (+2), long sessions 30 min+ (+3), and streaks (+1 per 3-day streak, up to +5). XP only goes up — it never decreases.

Frequently asked questions

The quick answers — no fine print.

Is AuraLock free?
Yes — 100% free, forever. Create Auras, use Standard and Strict modes, schedule sessions, and access all features at no cost. Earn Focus XP by completing Auras, level up to unlock longer sessions, more apps, custom themes, and aura icons. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
Does AuraLock work offline?
Yes. AuraLock runs entirely on your device. No internet connection is needed to create or use Auras.
Does AuraLock collect my data?
No. AuraLock does not collect, transmit, or store your usage data. Sessions, whitelists, schedules, and journal entries all stay on your device.
Can I use AuraLock on iPhone?
No. AuraLock is built for Android because protecting focus requires system-level controls that iOS does not expose.

Yes — AuraLock is available as a free extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Chromium-based browsers. Choose what stays alive during focus sessions — everything else waits outside. Everything stays on your device. Visit /ext to learn more.
Why does AuraLock need permissions?
Each permission has one job: spotting distracting apps, showing your Aura overlay, and measuring usage. We ask for only what is essential — and explain every permission in the docs.
