Why teams use Lockit
Keep track of everything your team shares, right where you talk
Avoid conflicts on servers
Two deploys on one staging box is how afternoons get lost. Lock it first, and everyone can see who has it and until when.
Share licences across teams
One seat of that pricey tool, five people who need it. Take turns without a spreadsheet.
Reserve rooms and environments ahead
Book the conference room or the demo environment before the big day, not five minutes before.
Get alerts when it frees up
Tap “Alert when released” and Lockit pings you the moment the holder lets go. No more polling the channel.
How it works
Six commands. Nothing to learn.
Mention @Lockit in any channel it's in. Every command also has a button, so nobody has to remember syntax.
Name the resource, describe it, and pick a channel that should hear about every lock and release.
Takeovers and alerts
Need it now? Ask, don't chase
- Get an alert the moment a resource is released
- Ask the holder for a takeover with one click
- The holder approves or rejects right inside Slack
Team channels
Your team always knows what's free
- Pick a channel per resource when you create it
- Every lock and release is posted there
- Private channels work too, once Lockit is invited
Everything within chat
Wherever your team already talks
Automate with the API and MCP
Lock from your pipeline. Or ask your AI assistant to.
A CI job can lock staging before it deploys and release it after. With the Lockit MCP server, Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code can check what's free and take it for you. Same rules, same Slack notifications.

Anything your team takes turns on: dev and staging environments, databases, servers, test devices, software licences, conference rooms. A resource is just a name, an optional description and a channel for updates.
Stop asking who's on staging.
