FloraLockReal look-alikes
The wrong answers are the plants people actually confuse: peony, rose, ranunculus. Pick a look-alike and FloraLock shows how to tell them apart.

FloraLock turns the moment you reach for Instagram, TikTok or YouTube into a tiny botany lesson. A locked app shows a plant photo with four names. Get it right and the app opens; get it wrong and you learn its name.

How FloraLock works
An app blocker that doesn’t just say “no”. Every time you open a distracting app, you spend five seconds learning something real.
Pick the apps that eat your time
Choose any Android app to lock: social media, video, games, shopping. Set how many new plants you want to learn a day.
Learn a few plants every day
Each lesson shows a handful of plants once, with real photos, how to recognise them and what they’re mistaken for, then a quick quiz.
Name the plant to get in
Open a locked app and FloraLock asks about one of your plants. Right answer: the app opens for 10 minutes. Wrong: a short pause to learn its name.
Built to make it stick
Everything in FloraLock is designed around one idea: the few seconds before you scroll are perfect for learning.
Field clues
Every plant comes with its flowers, leaves, season and the one feature that gives it away, plus whether it’s edible or toxic.
Spaced review
Plants come back after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, the schedule memory research recommends. Miss one and it starts again tomorrow.
Streaks and milestones
Build a daily streak, grow your Botany IQ from 60 to 160 and fill your collection of 70 plants.
Fair escape hatches
A few emergency unlocks a day and an “I don’t need this right now” button, so FloraLock helps instead of trapping you.
Private by design
No account, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your phone and works without internet.
See it in action
