Mindful pause
心kokoro
What it does
A quiet companion for a noisy world.
Soka Lock sits between you and the habits that pull your attention away - turning idle taps into intentional practice.
Daimoku & prayer at hand
Chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a gentle timer, track your daily rhythm, and keep your determination close.
Wisdom from the Gosho
A passage of encouragement each day, drawn from the writings of Nichiren Daishonin and the spirit of Soka humanism.
Mindful, not preachy
No streaks to guilt you, no noise to chase. Just soft reminders that return you to what matters, then let you go.
道michi
How it works
Three taps from distraction to determination.
一
It notices the reach
Choose the apps that tend to pull you in. When you open one, Soka Lock quietly steps in first.
二
It offers a moment
A prayer and a short teaching appear - an invitation to chant, breathe, or simply pause and reflect.
三
You choose, mindfully
Sit with your daimoku, or continue with intention. Either way, the choice is yours again - not the feed's.

声koe
From practitioners
Words from the sangha.
"I used to unlock my phone to check the time and end up scrolling for 20 minutes. Soka Lock catches me every time - just long enough to chant once and remember why I picked it up."
"The Gosho passages feel hand-picked for whatever I'm going through. It's become the first thing I read each morning before anything else."
"Simple, clean, and deeply respectful of the practice. No clutter, no notifications pushing me - just a quiet moment of daimoku before I scroll."
