## What is UnlocksMove?

Unlock distracting apps by moving first.

UnlocksMove is an app blocker that turns screen time into something you earn. Choose the apps that pull you in, complete push-ups or squats with camera-based rep detection, bank minutes, then unlock only the time you earned.

How it works:                                                                                                                                                                   
     • Choose distracting apps to protect                                                                                                                                                                      
     • Complete push-ups or squats                                                                                                                                                           
     • Earn unlock minutes for clean movement                                                                                                                                    
     • Spend minutes only while selected apps are actually in use                                                                                                                     
     • Relock apps when your bank runs out

Why it works: 
UnlocksMove gives your body a vote before your phone gets your attention. It is built for people who want a simple, physical interruption before scrolling — not another timer, dashboard, or willpower test.
