What’s New Version 1.0.1
This update brings performance improvements, a smoother onboarding and paywall experience, and bug fixes — so you can scroll less and stay present.
Description
Replace scrolling with mindful presence.
Every time you reach for social media, DharmaLock steps in with a moment of awareness. Instead of mindless scrolling, you engage with Buddhist teachings — reading a sutta from the Pali Canon, reflecting on the Dharma, or sitting in brief meditation. Cultivate right attention with every unlock.
WHAT YOU GET:
- Lock any app behind Buddhist teachings — choose Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, or any app
- Multiple unlock methods — sutta reading, fill-in-the-blank, word selection, and timed meditation
- Mood-based teaching selection — receive passages matched to your present state of mind
- Smart scheduling — set daily practice times or create custom lock periods
- Mala bead counter — track your meditation and chanting practice
- Family-friendly — uses Apple Screen Time to enforce locks reliably
FREE + PREMIUM:
DharmaLock requires a Premium subscription for app access. Eligible subscriptions start with Apple's 1-week introductory free trial and unlock unlimited app unlocks, unlimited schedules, advanced challenge types, and the full premium Buddhist library.
BUDDHIST TEACHINGS:
DharmaLock includes an extensive Buddhist text library with over 5,700 entries:
- Pali Canon — suttas from the Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta, and Anguttara Nikayas
- Vinaya Pitaka — monastic discipline and ethical teachings
- Dhammapada — 423 verses of the Buddha's essential teachings
- Jataka Tales — stories of the Buddha's previous lives
- Theravada & Mahayana texts — spanning multiple traditions
Content is organized by theme: compassion, equanimity, impermanence, loving-kindness, mindfulness, wisdom, suffering, liberation, and more.
TRADITION SUPPORT:
DharmaLock supports various Buddhist traditions:
- Theravada: Pali Canon suttas, Vipassana meditation focus
- Zen: Koans, zazen practice, Shikantaza
- Tibetan: Tonglen, refuge prayers, Bodhicitta
- Secular Buddhism: Mindfulness-based teachings without religious framing
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Choose which apps to lock (social media, games, entertainment — anything)
2. Set your schedule (morning sits, evening reflection, or all day)
3. When you open a locked app, DharmaLock presents a teaching or meditation
4. Read, reflect, and unlock — choosing presence over distraction
PRIVACY FIRST:
DharmaLock processes everything on your device. No reading habits, no meditation data, and no personal information ever leaves your phone. We use Apple's built-in Screen Time framework — no tracking, no ads, no accounts required.
