Sam Locker

Sam Locker is a specialized application designed to help users self-regulate their smartphone usage, combating the phenomenon of 'smartphone addiction' that has become an increasingly prevalent issue. It serves as an effective tool for those who find it challenging to put down their smartphones. An interesting feature of this app is that the lock count resets if the smartphone is rebooted—a detail that encourages users to resist short-term temptations. Further enhancing its effectiveness, the application cannot be removed through typical deletion methods; to uninstall it, one must first disable it in the device administrator settings. This additional step underscores the commitment to helping users maintain their desired usage boundaries by adding a layer of intentionality to the process of removal. Targeting those committed to digital well-being, the app is promoted as a robust support system for managing and reducing excessive screen time.
