ABOUT LOCKIN
What is LockIn?
LockIn is a habit tracker for time-boxed commitments: build a habit or quit one, check in honestly each day, and unlock a reward you chose at the finish line.
Most habit trackers count an endless streak. LockIn gives every promise a finish line: a fixed timeline, a measurable rule, an honest daily record, and a reward you picked before you started.
Who is LockIn for?
LockIn is for people who want a finish line rather than an endless streak: anyone running a 7, 30, 45 or 90-day challenge to build a routine (like daily yoga or working out three times a week) or to quit a pattern (like fast food or late-night scrolling).
How LockIn works
Setting up a commitment takes six short steps:
Choose your path
Build a new habit, such as daily yoga, or quit one, such as fast food.
Name the target
Give the commitment a clear name and, if you like, a short description.
Set the timeline
Pick 7, 30, 45 or 90 days, or any custom length up to 365 days, starting today or later.
Set the rhythm
Build habits run every day or to a weekly target, such as three times a week. Quit habits are tracked every day.
Pick a reward
Choose what is waiting at the finish line: a good coffee, a favorite meal, or anything you type.
Review and lock it in
Confirm the rules. The timeline starts and the commitment appears on your dashboard.
Daily check-ins and honest records
Each day you open the commitment and log what happened. For a habit you are building, you log the day as kept. For a habit you are quitting, you answer whether you kept your word; a slip is recorded with a reason and ends that commitment rather than being quietly erased. A calendar shows every day as logged, logged late, not logged or upcoming, and you can backfill the previous two days if you forgot.
What makes LockIn different
- A finish line, not a streak. Every commitment has a start date, an end date and a clear rule for success.
- Build and quit in one place. Positive routines and patterns you want to break use the same simple flow.
- Rewards, not penalties. You choose the reward up front; no money is put at stake.
- Honest by design. Late logging is limited to two days, and broken commitments stay in your history.
- Private by default. No social feed, no public profile; your commitments belong to your account.
Frequently asked questions

Who is LockIn for?
LockIn is for people who want a finish line rather than an endless streak: anyone running a 7, 30, 45 or 90-day challenge to build a routine (like daily yoga or working out three times a week) or to quit a pattern (like fast food or late-night scrolling).
Can I use LockIn to quit a bad habit?
Yes. Choose the quit path, and each day you record whether you kept the commitment. A slip is recorded honestly with a reason, ends that commitment, and stays in your history; you can start a new one whenever you are ready.
What happens if I forget to check in?
You can log a missed day as kept for up to two days afterwards from the check-in calendar. Older days can no longer be changed, so the record stays trustworthy.
How long can a commitment last?
Anywhere from 1 to 365 days. The setup offers 7, 30, 45 and 90-day presets, and you can type any custom length.
Can I pause a commitment?
Yes. Pausing keeps your history and does not count as a kept day. When you resume, the end date moves back by the number of days you were paused.
Can I change my reward later?
Yes. While a commitment is active you can edit its reward whenever a better motivator comes to mind.
Does LockIn involve money or penalties?
No. Unlike commitment-contract apps that put money at stake, LockIn motivates with a reward you choose for yourself and an honest record of each day.
Is my data private?
Yes. Commitments and check-ins are stored in your own account, there is no social feed, and sign-in is handled by Clerk, so LockIn never receives or stores your password.
Do I need to install anything?
No. LockIn is a web app that works in a modern browser on desktop and mobile.
