I’m Mandy, a 20-year-old student and like most students during finals, my friends and I were absolutely cooked.

We’d sit down to study, promise ourselves we’d focus and somehow end up doomscrolling, zoning out, or procrastinating. We wanted a way to hold each other accountable, actually accomplish our tasks, and make productivity fun and enjoyable.

So I built LockIn.

LockIn is a social focus & productivity app; think Instagram, but for getting things done. You can set focus timers, enter immersive focus rooms with lofi music, and then share your completed focus sessions and to-dos. Instead of doomscrolling, you scroll your productivity feed to see what others are working on and it turns scrolling into motivation instead of distraction.

You’ll also earn rewards, unlock puzzle pieces after every session, and compete with friends on leaderboards to stay accountable.

This app started as something my friends and I needed and I hope it helps you stay focused and actually get things done too.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or questions!

And if you’re a marketing wizard who’s excited to help blow this up, I’m very open to collaborating so shoot me an email at thetmyatnoe1217@gmail.com
