# PageLock

> PageLock blocks distracting apps until you read. Scan a book page or start a reading session to unlock your phone. Stop doomscrolling, reduce screen time, and build a daily reading habit.

PageLock is a free iOS app that replaces mindless scrolling with intentional reading. Choose which apps to block, then read a real book page to unlock them. Works with physical books (via camera scan) and e-readers (via timed sessions).
