Bump pairs an iPhone app with NFC Lock and Key tags: tap the Lock to block chosen apps, and use the separate Key to end a session.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: iPhone users seeking app-blocking friction
Worth noticing: The site calls it a “commitment device, not a security lock,” and says deleting the app removes a Lock-started block.

Field notes

The Lock and Key are NFC tags, with no batteries or pairing; the site says app selections stay on the iPhone and that it uses no account, tracking, or analytics. Blocks can also run on schedules, with examples for weekday study, overnight sleep, and Sunday family time. A scheduled block ends automatically, while a Lock-started session can be ended by deleting the app.
