NCLEX-RN study for iPhone

Study first.
Then the apps open.

NurseLock blocks the apps you choose with Apple Screen Time. Each study day it assigns one short drill of NCLEX-style questions. Finish the drill and the block lifts until the next study-day start.

Coming to the App Store as NurseLock: NCLEX Study. Requires iOS 26.5 or later.

  • No account
  • On-device study data
  • Blocking is free

A study gate and a study engine.

One app holds the distraction back and does the question work.

The gate

Apple Screen Time, on your terms.

You pick the apps or app categories to block, and you pick which days are blocking days. NurseLock only schedules and lifts its own restriction. Blocking is free and never depends on a purchase, and you can turn it off or remove all restrictions at any time from Settings or the Recovery screen.

The engine

Spaced repetition, sized by you.

Scheduling uses FSRS spaced repetition. The daily assignment defaults to 30 due and 5 new cards and is configurable. Questions are multiple-choice and written recall with explanations, and missed questions come back for review.

The context

A countdown and a weekly goal.

Set an exam date for a countdown and a weekly study goal to pace the work. You can keep personal notes alongside the bundled question set.

How the daily loop works

Four steps, repeated on the days you choose.

  1. 01

    Choose what to block.

    Select apps or app categories in NurseLock. iOS asks for Screen Time authorisation on your own iPhone; approve it so NurseLock can schedule its restriction.

  2. 02

    Set the study days and the reset time.

    You choose which days are blocking days and when a study day starts. The default reset time is 4:00 AM local time.

  3. 03

    Do the assigned drill.

    Each study day NurseLock assigns one short drill from your due and new cards, with explanations on every question.

  4. 04

    The block lifts.

    Completing the drill lifts the block until the next study-day start. A purchase never lifts it, and you can remove all restrictions yourself at any time.

Privacy and control

NurseLock has no account, no backend, no cloud sync and no runtime AI. Study data and the Screen Time selection stay on the iPhone.

Study practice, not clinical guidance.

The bundled question set is educational study practice for the NCLEX-RN. It is not clinical guidance, not medical advice and not a guarantee of exam results.

NurseLock Pro is optional.

The gate is free. Pro only widens the study material.
