Put a squat between you and the scroll. SquatLock locks the apps that pull you in — social feeds, games, anything you choose — and makes you earn them back with real squats. When you reach for a locked app, SquatLock asks for a set. Do the reps, unlock the app for a while, and get moving instead of doomscrolling. Your camera counts every rep on-device. Nothing is recorded and no video ever leaves your phone. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps (or whole categories) you want to protect using Apple Screen Time. • Reach for a locked app and SquatLock steps in with a squat challenge. • Stand up, do your reps, and the app unlocks for the time you set. • Hit your daily goal and build a streak you won’t want to break. WHY SQUATLOCK • Real movement, not willpower. Trade mindless taps for a quick set. • On-device rep counting. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone. • Private by design. No video is stored, and there’s no ad tracking. • Progress that motivates. Daily goal, streaks, weekly trends, and milestones. • Apple Health (optional). Save your sessions as workouts with minutes and calories. MADE FOR HABITS, NOT SHAME SquatLock is built to encourage, not punish. Friendly nudges, a clear daily goal, and a streak to protect — small wins that add up. Choose your apps. Earn them back. Move a little more, every day. Note: SquatLock uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to shield the apps you select. You stay in control and can change your protected apps at any time.
