WritersLock
Your phone stays locked until you write
What this is
Blocks distracting apps like TikTok until you've written your daily journal entry, a habit-forming iOS app rather than a general app blocker.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- Blocks distracting apps like TikTok until the user has written their daily journal entry; writing the entry unlocks the blocked apps again.
- What's different
- Puts a hard barrier between the user and distracting apps instead of relying on willpower alone.
- Best for
- People who want to build a daily writing habit but keep losing their mornings to scrolling.

Productivity. Launched 18d ago on Tiny Startups, picking up 27 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 8 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Tiny Startups with 27 votes. It also showed up on 2 other boards — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 2 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 14 olay var. 3 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
No names, on purpose — a call is worth what it turns out to be worth, not who made it.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
