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.

Study questions and explanations remain in English.

On the App Store as NCLEX RN Exam Prep – NurseLock. Requires iOS 26.5 or later.

  • No account
  • On-device study data
  • Free to download

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. Turning blocking on requires NurseLock Pro; turning it off or removing all restrictions never does, from Settings or Help with blocking.

The engine

Spaced repetition, sized by you.

Scheduling uses FSRS spaced repetition. The daily assignment defaults to 10 review and 2 new questions 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. Blocking is optional, so you can study without Screen Time. 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 starts. Buying Pro does not lift it for you. You can remove all restrictions yourself at any time from Help with blocking.

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; device backups of the iPhone can contain them.

Read exactly what reaches us →
  • On your iPhone: review history, saved questions, personal notes, settings and the Screen Time app selection.
  • Purchases: Apple and RevenueCat handle them. They never receive study data or the app selection.
  • Diagnostics: none are sent. There is no advertising or tracking. RevenueCat handles purchase management and purchase analytics.
  • Your data, your call: study data remains until you delete the app. Remove restrictions through Help with blocking first so the block does not linger.

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 is free to download.

A sample question comes before the paywall. Pro unlocks the daily drill, the complete question set and blocking.

Is NurseLock clinical guidance?

No. 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.

Do I have to pay to use the blocking?

Turning blocking on requires NurseLock Pro, the same purchase that unlocks the daily drill. You choose which apps or app categories to block and which days are blocking days. Removing restrictions never requires an active purchase: Help with blocking stays reachable from Settings and the paywall.

What happens when I finish the daily drill?

Completing the drill lifts the block until the next study-day start. You choose the reset time, which is 4:00 AM local time by default.

Does NurseLock need an account?

No. There is no account, no backend, no cloud sync and no runtime AI. Study data and the Screen Time selection stay on the iPhone, and device backups of the iPhone can contain them. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchases; the app sends no diagnostics or error reports.

Can I try NurseLock before paying?

Yes. NurseLock is free to download and walks you through a sample question before the paywall. Eligible customers can also try Pro Weekly free for 7 days. It then renews at the weekly price shown before purchase until you cancel. The daily drill and turning on blocking require NurseLock Pro.

Are the study questions translated?

Study questions and explanations remain in English. The app interface and Screen Time shields support more languages; changing the app language does not translate the study questions.

What does NurseLock Pro unlock?

Pro unlocks the full app on this device: the daily drill, the complete question set and Screen Time blocking. The weekly option is the same full access, billed weekly until you cancel, at US$4.99 per week. The lifetime option is a one-time purchase, yours for good, at US$24.99.

Where can I download NurseLock?

On the App Store, where it is listed as NCLEX RN Exam Prep – NurseLock. It is free to download with in-app purchases and requires iOS 26.5 or later.
