## What is MoneyLock?

MoneyLock makes you pay to open the apps that waste your time.

Choose the apps you want to control. MoneyLock shields them with Apple Screen Time. When you try to open one, you pay a small fee to unlock it for a set window. The timer ends and the app locks again.

If opening an app costs a dollar, you stop opening it on autopilot.

WHAT YOU GET
- Lock any app on your device with Screen Time
- Unlock from $1, with no subscription
- Apps relock on their own when the timer ends
- Set daily and weekly spending limits
- Block unlocks late at night, from 11 PM to 7 AM
- Re-lock after a daily usage limit you set
- Confirm unlocks with Face ID
- Keep a few emergency unlocks for urgent access
- Track what you spend and how long you stay unlocked

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps to lock.
2. Grant Screen Time access.
3. Tap a locked app and pay to unlock it.
4. The timer runs out and the app locks again.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
MoneyLock keeps your app choices and history on your device. No account, no tracking, no servers. Apple handles every payment.

Spend on purpose. Get your time back.
