## What is Gym Narc?

You came to lift, not to scroll.

Gym Narc watches for one thing: the moment you walk into your gym. The second you arrive, it slams the door on the apps that wreck your workout — Instagram, TikTok, X, whatever steals your rest between sets. Leave the gym and they unlock on their own. No timers to set, no babysitting, no negotiating with yourself mid-set.

Set it once. Pick your gym on the map, pick the apps to block, and Gym Narc handles the rest using your location. The shield only goes up inside your gym — everywhere else, your phone is your phone.

HOW IT WORKS
• Drop a pin on your gym (or anywhere you want to lock in).
• Choose the apps to block while you're there.
• Arrive → distractions lock automatically.
• Leave → they unlock automatically.
• Build a streak for every session you don't cave.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GO
• Hardcore mode: no escape until you leave the building.
• Friction mode: bypass is possible, but Gym Narc makes you work for it.
• A running streak that rewards showing up and shutting out the noise.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no data collection. Gym Narc never sees your location — iOS handles the geofence locally and only tells the app "in" or "out."

Gym Narc uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to apply the shield and Location (Always) to detect your gym — the same systems behind iOS's own Screen Time limits.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-07-02

Focus Places: Gym Narc now locks you in anywhere you need to focus — gym, work, study, or any custom spot. Each place can have its own block list.

Safer locking: Hardcore mode now has a hold-to-bail escape valve, so you are never trapped. Sessions auto-cap at 90 minutes, exit detection is smarter, and the locked screen finally stopped changing its mind about what to yell at you every second.

Plus a fresh coat of paint and a pile of bug fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-02

No release notes.
