Show HN: Temporarily lock yourself out from your phone, computer or account (lockmeout.online)

with lockmeout.online, I created an online time-lock service aimed at locking yourself out of distractions and help you to focus on important tasks and activities.

During the pandemic I noticed that I could not stay focused when reading a book for an extended period of time anymore - my mind was consistently urging me to check my phone or social media. Other productivity apps did not help me much, as my mind was still playing tricks on me ("Who cares what the usage report says", "I can bypass the block easily by just doing XYZ...").

Therefore, I came up with the idea of an irreversible (but temporary) solution: Changing your phone unlock code or account password, and putting it into an online time lock - impossible to bypass or revert until a certain timespan has elapsed. I myself noticed that once my mind was convinced there is no way to bypass the lock, I could focus on complex tasks and experience slow-paced, mindful moments again.
