What Lock Me Out is
Lock Me Out is an Android app for setting rules that block apps and websites to help reduce screen time. Users can block chosen apps, allow selected apps, or restrict access to the device lock screen. Website rules can use URLs or URL keywords. Lockouts can repeat on chosen days and times or run once during a specified date and time range. Automatic rules can start a lockout based on time in selected apps, total screen time, app opens, or device unlocks. Other features include usage statistics, warning notifications, emergency access, Do Not Disturb, and ringer silencing during lockouts. The app is described as useful for students seeking focus and parents limiting children's screen time. Premium removes the lockout-count limit and adds location-based blocking, hidden blocked-app notifications, and uninstall and tampering protection. The maker provides access through Google Play and an Android APK download.
