That looks like a distraction.

YouTube — "race highlights" isn't your task. You said you'd build the onboarding flow. Back to it?

// THE PROBLEM

Focus isn't a willpower problem.
It's a tooling problem.

Willpower runs out

By 2pm your prefrontal cortex is fried. The fortieth "just five minutes" wins. Discipline doesn't scale across a whole day.

Cloud apps watch you back

Every todo app and "focus" tracker ships your tasks, screen time, and habits to someone else's server. Your work becomes their data.

Blockers are blunt

Hard site-blockers can't tell research from rabbit-holes. So you whitelist everything, and the wall becomes useless by noon.

// THE LOCKINRA ANSWER

An AI that understands your task right now, nudges you back the instant you drift — and runs entirely on your machine, so the data never has to leave.

// THE WORKSPACE

One calm surface for the whole loop.

Capture, focus, get nudged, review. Every piece talks to the same local AI brain — no tabs, no context-switching, no cloud.

AI Focus Guardian

Watches your active tab and app in real time and classifies it against your task — Relevant, Neutral, or Distraction — with a rule engine plus a local LLM.

Your AI coach

Reads your week and gives a short, human coach's take. Pick the voice that actually moves you.

DARK HUMOR

"Four tabs of YouTube and a half-written function. Bold strategy."

DRILL SERGEANT

"You said 90 minutes. You did 31. Phone face-down. Move."

SUPPORTIVE FRIEND

"Rough start, but you closed two tasks. Let's get one more."

Copilot — your AI brain

Writes your morning briefing and end-of-day wrap. Today's plan, top priorities, drift status — on-device.

Good morning. 3 tasks, 1 deadline. Lead with the onboarding flow while you're fresh — you drift after 3pm. Protect 9–11.

SpeakIn & TypeIn

Brain-dump by voice (on-device Whisper) or text. AI extracts clean tasks and deadlines.

"remind me to ship the build friday…"
Ship v0.4 buildFRI

Analytics & Habits

Focus score, drift trends, and a GitHub-style streak graph. See exactly where the day leaks.

Soundscapes & mini-player

Always-on-top focus player and an ambient mixer to set the room.

Forest rain
The differentiator

Your AI. Your machine.
Nobody else's.

No accounts. No cloud. No telemetry. The models run locally, the data stays put, and you can pull the network cable and it still works.

On-device LLM

Classification and coaching run through Ollama on your hardware — Llama, Qwen, Phi, Mistral. Swap models in one click.

On-device voice

Voice capture is transcribed by Whisper locally. Your microphone never streams to anyone.

Keychain-encrypted

Tasks, notes, and activity sit encrypted at rest in the OS keychain. Your data, your keys.

Zero telemetry

No analytics SDKs, no crash pings, no "anonymous usage." There's nothing phoning home to opt out of.

Works fully offline. Pull the cable — focus tracking, capture, and coaching keep running.
// HOW IT WORKS

Four moves. One quiet loop.

01

Capture

Dump the chaos by voice or text. AI turns it into clean tasks with deadlines.

02

Lock in

Start a focus session. Pick the task, set the soundscape, go deep.

03

Get nudged

Drift, and the Guardian catches it — with grace timers, not nag spam.

04

Review with your coach

End the day with a wrap and a coach's take. Tomorrow starts planned.

// PICK YOUR COACH

Accountability, in a voice you'll listen to.

Same signals, three very different deliveries. Switch any time.

Dark Humor
Roasts you

"You opened the doc, stared at it, and alt-tabbed to Reddit. A masterclass in starting. Now finish a sentence."

Sharp, funny, a little mean. For people who flinch at sincerity but respond to a good roast.
Drill Sergeant
Strict discipline

"No negotiation. The block is 50 minutes. You've done 12. Phone in the drawer. Eyes on the task. Begin."

Zero excuses, all structure. For when you need a wall, not a hug.
Supportive Friend
Gentle accountability

"Hey — slow morning, that's okay. You still shipped two things. Let's protect the next hour and call it a win."

Warm, steady, encouraging. For the days the inner critic is already loud enough.

// FROM THE BETA

People who stopped losing afternoons.

"The Guardian caught me three sentences into a YouTube hole and said it knew I was supposed to be writing tests. It was right. I closed the tab and finished the PR."

DK
Dev Kapoor
Backend engineer

"I run Drill Sergeant during exam season. Brutal, but my deep-work streak hit 19 days. The fact that none of my screen data leaves my laptop is the only reason I trusted it on at all."

MR
Maya Reuben
CS student, IIIT

"The morning briefing reads like a chief of staff who actually knows my week. It told me to front-load the investor deck before 11 because I always drift after lunch. Annoyingly accurate."

// FAQ

The honest answers.

Is my data really private?

Yes. There are no accounts, no servers, and no telemetry. Your tasks, notes, and screen activity stay on your machine, encrypted at rest in the OS keychain. The AI models run locally — nothing is transmitted for us to even receive.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Once the local models are installed, focus tracking, capture, coaching, and the copilot all work fully offline. Internet is only used if you opt into cloud integrations like Google Calendar or an optional API fallback.

Which AI models does it use?

Local LLMs through Ollama — Llama, Qwen, Phi, Gemma, or Mistral — and Whisper for voice. You can switch models, see RAM recommendations and accuracy stats, and install or delete them from inside the app. No terminal required.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Windows is the primary build — get it as a direct download or from the Microsoft Store. There's now an experimental Linux build too — a portable AppImage on the Linux download page; everything works except desktop-app distraction detection, which is limited on Wayland (the browser extension still covers the web). macOS is on the roadmap, with an Android companion and web dashboard further out.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10/11, 8GB RAM for small models, 16GB recommended for the larger ones. A discrete GPU helps inference but isn't required — LockinRa picks a model that fits your hardware and tells you the trade-offs up front.

Stop fighting your focus.
