# How does Welockin actually work?

Three steps. Choose the devices and the apps or sites you want gone, pick how strict the lock should be, then start. From install to locked in takes under a minute. Once a session is running, your distractions stay blocked on every synced device at the same time.

## Specifics

- Blocking happens on the device itself, so it keeps working without sending your browsing anywhere.
- You can save a set of apps and sites as a bundle and reuse it, instead of rebuilding the list every session.
- Sessions can start on a schedule, so the decision to focus is made once rather than every morning.
