Young adults often struggle with maintaining focus due to constant smartphone distractions, which can negatively impact their productivity and academic performance. This issue is especially relevant for university students, as it directly affects their ability to study effectively and achieve their academic goals.

Lightlock addresses this challenge by promoting healthier phone habits and enhancing focus in shared study spaces. It combines smart lamps with an interactive mobile app to create a space where everyone is encouraged to stay on task. If you enter the space without the app, a lamp flickers, giving you a little social nudge to join in . The app blocks distracting apps, tracks study time, and visualizes progress, making it easier to stay motivated. By encouraging accountability and reducing distractions, Lightlock turns shared study areas into spaces where focus, productivity, and better digital habits thrive together.
