## What is GainLock?

GainLock locks the apps and websites that steal your time, then lets you earn them back with real exercise. When you try to open a blocked app, you do push-ups, squats, or sit-ups in front of the camera. GainLock counts the reps and unlocks access for a set amount of time. 

Subscription required. GainLock is a subscription app. After onboarding, a purchase is required to access all features described below.

What you get (with subscription):

- Block distracting apps and websites with Apple Screen Time
- Earn temporary unlocks by completing an exercise challenge
- Live camera tracking that counts push-ups, squats, and sit-ups
- Unlock rules you control, from a short break to a couple of hours
- Custom rules so more reps mean more time
- Progress stats, weekly reps, and a daily streak
- Privacy first: GainLock uses Apple’s system picker and never scans your phone
- Camera processing on your device. Video is not uploaded for ads or storage

Put a lock on the apps that waste your day. Unlock them only when you earn it.
