Summaries that write themselves
Every task you finish during a session is saved with it. Look back at any day and see the hours and the actual output side by side.
Focus sessions that
write their own summary
LockedIn times your work on Mac and iPhone. The tasks you tick off along the way become the record of what got done, so there is nothing to fill in when you stop.

Today's Brief
Your morning,
already sorted
LockedIn opens each day with one page: what you shipped yesterday, the meetings ahead, the pull requests waiting on you, and the tasks for today. Read it with your coffee, tap Start the day, and you are working.
- Since yesterday. Hours focused, sessions, and every task you finished, by project.
- Your day. Today's meetings from your calendar, with join links and the free time between them.
- On GitHub. Reviews waiting on you and what is blocking your own pull requests. Add any of them to today in one tap.
- Start the day. Anything left open from earlier moves to today, so nothing quietly slips.
On iPhone it arrives as a notification each morning.
Why it exists
Time trackers ask for a report
right when you are out of energy
Most of them stop the clock and then hand you a form. Busy days end with that form empty, and a week later nobody remembers what Tuesday was for.
The usual way
- Start a timer, then forget it running over lunch
- Write a summary at the end when you just want to close the laptop
- Tasks live in one app, hours in another, notes in a third
With LockedIn
- The Mac pauses a session after 30 idle minutes, so breaks never count
- End a session in one tap; what you ticked off becomes its summary
- Tasks, time and notes sit in one place, synced between Mac and iPhone
You do the work.
LockedIn keeps the receipts.
What you get
A clear record of your days
without keeping one
A day worth sharing
Turn any day or week into a clean card with your hours, streak and what shipped. Copy it or post it straight to your story.
Streaks that respect rest
Choose your rest days and they never break the streak. Taking Sunday off is part of the plan, not a failure.
Always one glance away
The timer sits in a Live Activity and the Dynamic Island on iPhone, and in a floating HUD on the Mac, so you never dig for it.
How it works
Three steps, and the last one
takes a single tap
-
1
Pick a project
Tap a project on Home and the session starts. Recent projects sit at the top, so this is usually your first tap of the day.
-
2
Tick tasks as you go
Add tasks with ⌘K on the Mac or the plus button on iPhone. Tap a title to rename it in place; no edit screens.
-
3
End it
One tap. You see the time, what got done and your streak. Ended by mistake? Resume within 30 minutes and nothing is lost.
On the Mac
Built for the keyboard
you already live on
LockedIn on the Mac stays out of the way until you need it, then answers in a keystroke.
- Command barPress ⌘K to add a task, switch project, pause or end without touching the mouse.
- Floating HUDA small panel above your editor with the timer, tasks, notes and a lofi player.
- Pauses when you walk awayAfter 30 minutes without input the session pauses itself and picks up when you are back.
- Quick sessionsJump on a side task for another project without stopping your main session. It gets its own timer and tasks.
- Evening wrap upFrom 5 PM, Home shows what you finished today and lets you plan tomorrow in a minute.
Reading
Save the article now,
read it when you can focus
Drop links into LockedIn instead of leaving forty tabs open. It keeps the text, so every piece opens in a calm reader on your Mac or iPhone, with nothing else on the page.
- Paste and forget. Paste a link in Reading or into ⌘K, and it waits on your other devices too.
- A reader worth opening. A serif at a comfortable size on warm paper, or ink at night, with your place saved.
- Reading counts. Tap Focus on this and the time goes into your day like any other session.
- Ask RiTA first. Get the key points in seconds, then decide if it deserves the full read.

Questions
Before you install
Is LockedIn free?
Yes. The beta is free on Mac and iPhone, with no trial clock and no card.
How do my Mac and iPhone stay in sync?
Sign in with Apple on each device. Your projects, sessions, tasks and settings sync between them, so the sessions and tasks from your Mac show up on your iPhone. There is no password to create or remember.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad on iOS 26.5 or later, and Macs on macOS 26.5 or later.
How do I install the beta?
Install TestFlight from the App Store on your Mac, then open the download link on this page. Do the same on your iPhone for the companion app. TestFlight walks you through the rest, and updates arrive on their own.
What happens if I forget to end a session?
On the Mac, a session pauses itself after 30 minutes without keyboard or mouse input, so the time away is never counted. On iPhone, the Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen as a reminder.
Where is my data stored?
On your device, and in your LockedIn account so your devices stay in sync. Each account can only read its own data. There are no ads, no analytics and no trackers. The privacy policy has the details.
Does it watch which apps I use?
On the Mac, LockedIn can notice the app in front, such as Xcode or Figma, to show what you are working on. That stays on your Mac and is never uploaded.
How do I send feedback or report a bug?
Take a screenshot while using the beta and TestFlight offers to send it with a note. You can also email macbobbychibuzor@icloud.com; every message gets read.
Start your first session
in under a minute
Install TestFlight on your Mac, open the link, pick a project. Add the iPhone app with the same link and your sessions follow you.
Free during the beta. No card, no password: you sign in with Apple.
