## What is SweatKey?

Move. Earn. Unlock.

SweatKey helps you turn movement into screen time.

Instead of endlessly scrolling, earn time for selected apps through physical activity and use the time you have earned when you actually want it.

How SweatKey works

Choose the apps you want SweatKey to manage, set your daily allowance, then earn additional time through movement.

SweatKey can reward activities such as:

• Push-ups
• Pull-ups
• Squats
• Planks
• Steps

During supported workouts, the camera can detect your movement directly on your device and count valid repetitions in real time.

Control your screen time

Select distracting apps and let SweatKey manage access according to your available time balance. Your balance combines your daily allowance with time you earn through movement.

When your available time is used up, protected apps can be restricted until more time becomes available.

Stay motivated

Track earned and used time, workouts, activity, streaks and progress over time. Visual feedback makes it easy to see how movement translates into usable screen time.

Made for individuals and families

Optional protected settings can prevent important rules from being changed without a PIN or password. This makes SweatKey useful both for personal self-control and for family routines.

Privacy first

SweatKey is designed around on-device functionality. Camera-based movement analysis is performed for workout recognition, and your Screen Time selections are handled through Apple’s Screen Time APIs.

SweatKey uses Apple Family Controls, Managed Settings and Device Activity technologies to provide supported app-access management.

Build better digital habits by making screen time something you earn through movement.
