## What is SquatLock?

STOP DOOMSCROLLING. START TRAINING.

SquatLock is a screen time app and app blocker built for women who would rather earn a stronger body than lose another hour to Instagram. It locks your most distracting apps behind one simple rule: move your body to unlock your phone. Every rep earns screen time, counted live by your iPhone's camera. No timers, no willpower, no guilt spirals. Just squats, jumping jacks, lunges, or push-ups.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick the apps you want to block: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, or whatever pulls you in.
2. Choose your daily free allowance and how many minutes each rep earns. Gentle nudge or tough challenge, SquatLock adapts to your goals.
3. Open a blocked app and SquatLock's shield appears instead.
4. Prop your phone against something sturdy and start moving. Every completed rep adds minutes to your balance.

Your earned minutes never expire. Bank them after a Sunday workout, spend them on a Tuesday scroll. Need extra time? Claim a free 30-minute Emergency Grant once per day. Your allowance and grant reset every morning at 4 a.m.

WHY IT WORKS

Willpower fades. Friction works. SquatLock turns the moment of temptation, that reflexive boredom tap, into a moment of movement. By adding just enough friction, it makes the healthier choice the easier one.

FEATURES

• Real rep counting, on device. Live camera pose detection powered by Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your phone.
• Flexible difficulty. Earn 1, 2, or 3 minutes of screen time per rep and find the balance that works for you.
• Daily free allowance. Give yourself a set amount of free screen time before earned minutes take over.
• Four exercises, one currency. Squats, jumping jacks, forward lunges, and push-ups. Choose whatever your knees, your back, and your living room can handle that day.
• App blocking built on Apple's Screen Time system. Lock individual apps or entire categories. You choose what stays blocked.
• Streaks, weekly stats, and personal records. Count your reps, track your workouts, and watch your streak grow.
• Sign in with Apple. No email, no password, nothing extra to manage.
• Private by design. No servers, no analytics, no ad networks. Your balance syncs privately across your Apple devices through iCloud.
• Built for iPhone. Designed entirely in SwiftUI for a fast, smooth, native experience.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Women building healthier screen time habits through daily movement.
• Anyone stuck in the doomscroll, guilt, doomscroll cycle.
• People who want a real digital detox instead of another timer that gets swiped away in seconds.
• Students, professionals, remote workers, and creators who want to stay focused.
• Anyone who wants fitness to become part of their routine, not another task on their to-do list.

WHAT IT ISN'T

Not another timer. Not a punishment app. Not a coach yelling at you. SquatLock never guilt-trips you, never nags you, and never sells your data. The deal is simple: your body unlocks your phone.

Download SquatLock today. Trade your scroll for your squat. Earn every minute.
