Can't put the phone down? SweatLock turns movement into the only currency that matters — earn screen time by working out, then spend it on the apps you love. [How it works] · Work out, earn time: Pose detection counts push-ups, planks, squats and running in real time and converts them into a screen-time balance. · Lock distracting apps: Pick the apps you overuse — social, video, games — and shield them in one tap. · Unlock with balance: Open app → your balance is deducted and it's released, then auto re-locks when time is up. · See your progress: Streaks, total workouts, per-app usage leaderboard, and weekly / monthly self-control reports. [Why it works] No harsh bans — just a quantified loop you actually want to follow. The movement is real, the time is earned with sweat, so you value it more. [Private by design] · All data stays on your device. No account, no upload, works fully offline. [Who it's for] · Anyone fighting phone addiction and wanting more focus · People who need a game-like nudge to move · Families setting healthy screen rules for their kids - Privacy Policy: https://docs.qq.com/doc/DZHhpbWlYWVFOQ2x5 - Premium membership terms: https://docs.qq.com/doc/DZEdVVWp4V3BBZmNJ - Refund: The subscription fee for the current period is non-refundable.
