To combat the social media addiction epidemic, LingoLock turns the compulsion to check your phone into a daily language lesson. The iOS app uses Apple's Screen Time technology to lock Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other distracting apps until users complete a short vocabulary exercise — making language learning an unavoidable consequence of reaching for your phone. Rather than fighting the habit, LingoLock hijacks it. The app supports Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, and Japanese, and is free to download on the App Store, with Pro features available from $3.33 per month, billed annually.

Founder

The person on the record.

WM
Will Morphy
Founder

Will built the first version of LingoLock after realising he'd spent more time on Instagram than he had sleeping. The app launched in 2026 and uses Apple's Family Controls API to make language learning unavoidable. Available for interviews in English.

We didn't want to fight your attention. We wanted to put a tollbooth on it — and let you spend the toll on something you'll thank yourself for tomorrow.
