What is WordLocker?
WordLocker is an iOS app that blocks distracting apps on your phone and asks you to complete a 3-stage English vocabulary challenge before you can open them again. It turns screen time into learning time.

Privacy
WordLocker uses a local-first architecture. Works fully without an account, and your data stays on your device. By Apple’s privacy design, the apps you block are stored as opaque tokens — real app names never reach our servers. No ads, no third-party tracking.
