How LockIn works
No productivity philosophy, no 47-step system. You focus, you get points, you don't want to lose your streak.
1. Name what you're avoiding
LockIn scores every task from your deadline, how hard it is (1โ5) and how confident you feel (1โ10), then labels it LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or URGENT and suggests how many focus blocks it needs. Same inputs always give the same answer โ it's a formula, not a guess.
2. Focus sessions earn XP
15 min = 30 XP ยท 25 min = 50 XP ยท 45 min = 90 XP ยท 60 min = 120 XP. XP only lands when you finish the block. Bailing early gets you nothing, which is the point.
3. Levels
The curve gets steeper as you climb: 0 โ 500 โ 1200 โ 2100 โ 3200 โ 4600 XP and onwards.
4. Streaks
One completed session a day keeps the streak alive. Milestone badges at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 100 days. Miss a day and it goes back to 1 โ no freezes, no excuses.
5. Panic Mode
Exam tomorrow? Panic Mode takes your topics, hours left and confidence and produces a timed block plan for the time you actually have.
Common questions
โธDo I need an account?
No. Everything works straight away and your progress is stored on this device. An account only adds cloud backup, friends and the global leaderboard.
โธWhat happens if I close the tab mid-session?
The session doesn't count. XP is only awarded when the timer reaches zero.
โธIs it free?
Yes. The timer, panic mode and all the calculators are free.
