FAQ
How does LiftLock work?
LiftLock utilizes Apple's Screen Time feature to lock specified apps during your workout sets and automatically unlocks them during your rest periods. The lock re-engages when rest time is up, even if LiftLock isn't actively open.
Can I use music apps while LiftLock is active?
Yes, you can add music streaming apps like Spotify or Apple Music to an exceptions list. These apps will remain usable while other selected apps are locked during your workout sets.
Does LiftLock run on a schedule?
No, LiftLock blocks apps based on your actual workout sets and rest times, not a fixed schedule. This means your workouts can be longer or shorter without affecting the app's functionality.
What happens if I quit the LiftLock app?
Quitting the LiftLock app does not unlock your phone. The blocking functionality is managed by iOS Screen Time, and the block is only lifted when you deliberately end your workout.
Does LiftLock track my app usage?
No, LiftLock does not track your app usage. It only communicates with iOS to manage the app block, ensuring your privacy by not collecting data on which apps you use or when.
What are the requirements to use LiftLock?
LiftLock requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It needs access to Screen Time, which is requested during setup and can be managed in your iOS Settings.
Does LiftLock have ads?
No, LiftLock is ad-free. The app does not contain advertisements, and it also avoids analytics and tracking to ensure a private user experience.
Is LiftLock available on Android?
LiftLock is currently only available for iPhone users. It leverages Apple's native Screen Time functionality, making it specific to the iOS ecosystem.
