LOKD GmbH

LOKD addresses digital distraction, smartphone addiction and social media overuse by integrating physical hardware with software to create a mandatory friction barrier between users and their smartphones. Unlike traditional app blockers and screen-time limiters, which are easily bypassed with a few taps, the LOKD system requires a physical device such as their proprietary LOKD Key or Keycard to be scanned to trigger or disable app-blocking modes. By utilizing this physical authentication method, the technology forces users to create actual distance from their devices, effectively turning the task of unlocking distracting applications into a conscious, intentional action rather than a reflexive digital habit. LOKD also offers custom solutions for businesses, schools and universities.
