An iPhone productivity tool that shields distracting apps until you submit a target number of job applications.

Why it surfaced

JobLock uses confirmation screenshots as proof: it reads each one, logs the application, discards the screenshot, and eventually drops the app shields. The unusually specific behavioral premise is paired with a strong privacy promise—no account, server, analytics, or ads—with the job log kept on the phone.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
