## What is Grindlocker?

Lock your addictive apps and earn screen time back with real exercises: push-ups, sit-ups, and squats counted by AI in real time.

Block apps. Unlock with reps.*
Grindlock is built for anyone who knows they scroll too much but can't stop. This app locks down your most distracting apps with Screen Time and makes you earn them back with real exercise. Our AI watches your form through the front camera and counts every rep.

Accountability that actually works*
Grindlock doesn't guilt-trip you or show you a timer. It makes you move. Pick your apps, pick your exercise, and set the deal: every rep = 2 minutes of scroll time. When your time's up, apps lock again automatically.

AI-powered rep counting*
Your front camera detects your form and counts every push-up, sit-up, and squat in real time. The AI validates each rep so you can't fake it. No manual input. No trust system. Just you vs. the camera.

Screen time you actually earned*
Instead of fighting willpower, you're trading reps for minutes. 10 push-ups = 20 minutes. You set the deal. You earn the time. It hits different when you worked for it.

Features*
• AI camera counts push-ups, sit-ups, and squats in real time
• Lock any app or category with Screen Time
• Automatic re-lock when your time expires
• XP system, streaks, and levels to track your progress
• Choose your exercise and set your own rep-to-time ratio
• Minimalist design: no clutter, no guilt, no ads
• Private and secure: camera processed on-device, never stored or sent

Grindlock turns your screen time into gains. One rep at a time.
