Focus is a competitive sport

A social pomodoro timer combines the proven Pomodoro Technique (25-minute focused work sessions followed by short breaks) with social accountability. LockedIn lets you see when your friends are focusing in real-time, creating motivation through friendly competition and shared commitment to productivity.

LockedIn uses three powerful mechanisms: structured time blocks with audio cues to keep you on track, real-time visibility of friends who are also working (social accountability), and leaderboards that let you compete to see who can stay focused longest. When you know others can see your progress, you're more likely to stay committed.

Yes, LockedIn is completely free. Simply sign in with your Twitter/X or Google account to start tracking your focus sessions and competing with friends on the leaderboard.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It breaks work into 25-minute focused intervals (called 'pomodoros') separated by 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, you take a longer 15-30 minute break. This structure helps maintain concentration and prevents burnout.

LockedIn requires signing in with Twitter/X or Google to create your account and enable the social features. Your social connections help you find friends to compete with and add accountability to your focus sessions.
