TiltLock

Pause before the next tap.

TiltLock blocks selected apps, guides a short reset, and helps you decide whether to return with intention.

Available on the App Store for iPhone. No sign-up, no Steadfast account.

A little friction can change the next action.

Tilt happens when emotion, urgency, boredom, or temptation pushes a person toward reactive app use. A direct block and a short reset create room to decide what should happen next.

TiltLock is not advice, treatment, or a guarantee of behavior change. It is a support tool for adding a pause where an automatic habit used to be.


How it works

From impulse to a clearer next step.

Four steps, each one giving the first impulse a little less power.

  1. Choose the apps that need friction

    Select the apps that tend to pull you into reactive use.

  2. Let TiltLock interrupt the automatic open

    A selected app pauses before the habit can take over.

  3. Use the reset window

    Breathe, wait, and let the first impulse lose some of its force.

  4. Return only if it still makes sense

    Choose the next action deliberately instead of automatically.

Built for moments that need a pause.

The times when a few seconds of space changes the outcome.

Trading Pause before checking or acting from frustration.
Impulsive scrolling Interrupt the loop before it becomes automatic.
Anger Create space before opening apps in a heated moment.
Temptation Add friction before returning to a known distraction.
Impulse shopping Slow down before browsing or buying reactively.
Emotional decisions Use a reset before choosing what to do next.

Block, reset, and return with intention.

Block selected apps

Choose which apps should pause before they open.

Guided resets

Follow short reset flows to slow down and regain clarity.

Choose your return

Decide whether returning to the app still makes sense.

Customizable rules

Set timers, limits, and conditions that fit your own habits.

Private by default

No account is required unless a future account-based feature is introduced.

Focused interface

Calm screens that support the reset instead of adding noise.

A support tool, not a promise.

TiltLock helps create space, but it does not guarantee financial, health, or behavioral outcomes. You stay in control of your choices.
