MoLock

Screen time without guilt. Focus that sticks.

MoLock measures honestly — apps, websites and categories, with idle time left out — then helps you act on it: gentle goals, limits that nudge instead of punish, and focus sessions that quietly hold distractions back. Only encrypted daily totals ever leave your PC.

01 / 08How it works

Measure. Decide. Then protect your hours.

Tracking starts on your PC the moment you turn it on. Goals and sessions are yours to set — nothing is blocked unless you ask for it.

  1. 01Step 1/3

    Turn on screen time

    MoLock counts active time per app, per website (the site's name only) and per category. Time away from the keyboard isn't counted.

  2. 02Step 2/3

    Set goals and limits

    A goal for focused work, a daily limit for video or social — with a gentle nudge when you pass it, not a wall.

  3. 03Step 3/3

    Start a focus session

    Pomodoro, deep work or your own length. Distracting apps and sites wait behind a calm card until the session ends.

02 / 08What it does

Honest numbers. Kind nudges.

Screen-time tools fail when they shame you. MoLock is built to be glanced at, believed and acted on — then left alone.

  • Apps, sites, categories

    Per-app and per-site totals, grouped into work, social, video and more — editable.

  • Idle doesn't count

    Walk away and the clock stops — numbers you can trust.

  • Goals and limits

    Daily goals to reach and limits to respect, with gentle nudges.

  • Focus sessions

    Pomodoro, deep work or custom — with breaks, and quiet notifications while you work.

  • Calm blocking

    Chosen apps and sites wait behind a card with "Back to work" — or a few more minutes if you really need them.

  • Schedules

    Weekday mornings for deep work, evenings free — sessions start on their own.

  • Desktop and lock widgets

    A small countdown on the desktop and the lock screen, so the session stays in view.

  • Weekly report

    A short summary on Telegram every week — trends, not a scolding.

A session you can see. From the desk or the phone.

The focus widget sits on your desktop with a live countdown; the same session shows on the lock screen. Start or stop it from the dashboard or with one tap in Telegram.

Totals leave your PC. Nothing else.

Screen time is counted on the PC. What the dashboard shows are daily totals, sealed on your PC before upload — the server stores data it cannot read.

  • No screenshots, no keystrokes

    MoLock never records what is on the screen or what you type to measure time.

  • Site names only

    For websites it keeps the site's name, never full page addresses or page contents.

  • Sealed before upload

    Daily totals are end-to-end encrypted with your account key.

05 / 08Dashboard & bot

Your week, on your phone. On your terms.

The dashboard decides what Telegram sends: the weekly report, limit nudges, session reminders — or none of them. Quiet hours keep nights silent.

  • /focus▶ 25 min · ▶ 50 min · ⏹ Stop · 📋 Summary · Open in dashboard
  • Every feature has a page in the dashboard: its live state, its history and its settings — and the PC follows what you change.
  • Notification preferences and quiet hours decide what the bot sends; each button works once and the message is updated with the result.

06 / 08Limits

Exactly what it does. And what it doesn't.

  • Websites in common browsers

    Site-level time comes from the browser tab's site name; private windows and unusual browsers may show only as the browser app.

  • Blocking is a nudge, not a cage

    It is designed to help you keep a promise to yourself, not to lock down an account you don't control.

  • This PC only

    Each linked PC measures its own time; your phone's screen time isn't included.

08 / 08Questions

Focus & screen time

All questions

What exactly does screen time record?

Active minutes per app, per website (the site's name only) and per category, with idle time left out. It never records screenshots, keystrokes, window contents or full web addresses. Only daily totals reach your dashboard, end-to-end encrypted.

Does a focus session block apps completely?

Only the apps and sites you choose, and only during the session. They wait behind a calm card with "Back to work" — and a few extra minutes if you really need them.

Can I start a focus session from my phone?

Yes — from the dashboard, or send /focus to the official bot and tap ▶ 25 min, ▶ 50 min or ⏹ Stop. The PC starts or ends the session within moments.
