Lock-in provides a smart reminder function that can effectively solve this problem. The specific operation steps are as follows:
- Click on "Start Focus" to enter the working mode after activating Lock-in.
- The system automatically detects tab or window switching behavior (default 3 seconds of inactivity is considered a distraction)
- Pop-up alerts in the upper right corner of the screen when frequent switching is detected (e.g. "Looks like you're distracted")
- Immediately return to work by clicking "Stay focused" or adjust sensitivity via Settings > Reminders
- After long-term use, system-generated focus reports show the number of distractions, helping to improve work habits
This feature is especially suited for users who are prone to multitasking in parallel, resulting in reduced efficiency, and has been tested to reduce distracting behavior by more than 40%.
