KanjiLock: App Blocker & Focus

About KanjiLock: App Blocker & Focus

KanjiLock is a mobile application designed to help users manage their screen time while learning the Japanese writing system, kanji. The app functions by locking distracting applications on a user's device, requiring them to engage in kanji practice to unlock these apps. Specifically, for every two minutes spent practicing kanji, users can unlock 15 minutes of access to their chosen distracting apps. This approach transforms idle scrolling time into productive learning sessions, making the process of learning kanji more engaging and rewarding.
