Spoiler Lock for iPhone

Don't let anyone ruin the ending.

Spoiler Lock temporarily blocks the apps where spoilers lurk, like social media, YouTube or news, until you've seen the premiere, the match or the episode. You choose what to protect and for how long.

One shield per event

Pick what to protect. Your iPhone hides the rest.

Movies, TV shows, sports, wrestling, Formula 1, anime, video games or anything else. Each kind of event comes with its own suggested schedule and wording, so creating a shield takes seconds.

  • Choose the apps and websites to block with Apple's own picker.
  • Give it a name, an icon or a poster of your choice.
  • Open a blocked app and you get the Spoiler Lock screen, not the spoiler.

Schedules

Once for the premiere. Every week for your show.

Protect a premiere from the day before, a whole race weekend, or every new episode of your show. Repeating shields go up on their own for every window, week after week.

Always in sight

See how long is left. And when you've watched it, say so.

Every shield shows a countdown, its timeline and the apps it protects. Once you finally watch the episode, the match or the movie, mark it as watched and your apps come right back.

  • Extend a shield if you need more time. It can never be shortened.
  • Add apps to a running shield without starting over.
  • Reminders on release day, and a "seen it yet?" when the match is over.

Protection modes

As strict as your willpower.

Gentle lets you peek for 15 minutes. Strict asks for confirmation before ending. Hardcore challenges you: a code that flashes for an instant, type it in and hold. Lower it early and you lose XP.

Ready in seconds

Check your ticket and hold to activate.

Before activating you see everything on a ticket-style summary: the event, the schedule, the protected apps, the mode and the XP you'll earn.

  • Built on Apple's Screen Time, the same system your iPhone already uses.
  • Blocking keeps working even if you close the app or restart your iPhone.
  • Your apps come back on their own when the shield ends.

Privacy

Block your apps without anyone seeing them.

Spoiler Lock has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no servers of its own. What you protect and how you use your iPhone never reach us.

On your iPhone

Shields, posters and progress

Everything is stored in the app's private space on your device. Delete the app and it goes with it.

Screen Time

We don't even know which apps you chose

iOS only hands the app opaque codes, without names. Spoiler Lock can't see which apps you have or how much you use them.

No tracking

"Data Not Collected"

That's how it's declared on the App Store. No IDFA, no third-party SDKs and no tracking permission prompt.
