Dinner starts.
Choose the moment you both want to share: dinner, the sofa, a walk, or a real conversation.
Both tap in.
The pause starts only after both phones confirm. It feels like a tiny shared promise.
Apps fade out.
Each person keeps their own app picks private. Your partner sees the moment, not your phone habits.
You are offline together.
The timer, mood, and paused-app status are all you need. No feed, no score, no checking up.
Back when needed.
End whenever you need to.
For the moments that matter.
Sofa
For evenings when you do not want to scroll side by side.
Dinner
For meals where the conversation matters more than the feed.
Walk
For walks without constantly looking at the display.
Deep Talk
For conversations that need your full attention. Start with meaningful questions for couples.
Date Night
For dates that should feel like dates again.
Both phones opt in, then DuoLock gets out of the way.
The details when you need them.
How does DuoLock help us spend less time on our phones?
DuoLock creates a shared pause from the phone, voluntarily, privately, and together. Shared offline time for two, with both people in.
What happens on my iPhone?
Each iPhone locally pauses only the distractions that person selected. DuoLock coordinates the shared session, while the actual pause happens on each person’s own device. How that pause stays on your own phone.
What can my partner see?
Your partner sees the shared session status, but no app names, categories, websites, or usage data. Why those choices stay private.
Why is DuoLock not a relationship or tracking app?
DuoLock is for couples who are already together. It is not a dating app, relationship diary, or partner-monitoring tool. See the difference from tracking apps.
Real questions.
Can my partner see which apps I picked?
No. App, category, and website choices stay on your iPhone. Why those choices stay private.
Can my partner pause my phone?
No. Both people say yes first, and your phone only pauses the apps you selected. Why both people have to agree.
Can I end a session early?
Yes. Unlock Early ends the pause on your phone right away. Why you can come back early.
Does DuoLock track app usage?
No. DuoLock does not show app reports, opened-app events, ads, or scorekeeping. Why DuoLock does not track usage.
Why does DuoLock need Screen Time permission?
So your phone can pause the apps you selected during an active shared session.

One shared offline session. Both in. Both connected.
