Stop losing hours to apps designed to keep you hooked. Up Lock puts your most distracting apps behind a quick workout — so every time you reach for the scroll, you earn it back with your body. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps that eat your day — social media, games, whatever pulls you in. • When you open one, Up Lock asks for a few reps: push-ups, squats, or jumping jacks. • Your camera counts them live, on your device. Hit the target and the app unlocks for a timed window. • When the time's up, it locks again. Move to scroll — every time. BUILT TO ACTUALLY WORK • Real blocking. Up Lock uses Apple's Screen Time controls for genuine, system-level locking — not an honor system. • Counts reps for you. On-device pose detection tracks every rep with a live skeleton overlay. No manual tapping, no cheating. • Scaled to you. Tell Up Lock how many push-ups you can do and it tunes every target to your fitness level — challenging, never impossible. • Daily limits & streaks. Set how much unlock time you get per app each day, build a streak, and keep it alive. • See your progress. A stats page tracks time reclaimed, calories burned, workouts done, and total reps — "3,500 jumping jacks this year" hits different. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. The camera never records or uploads anything, there's no account to create, and we don't track you. Full policy at up-lock.app/privacy. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone tired of doomscrolling, breaking a phone habit, or up for trading screen time for real movement. Turn the thing that wastes your time into the thing that gets you moving. Earn your screen time. Rep by rep. — Up Lock Premium is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or annual) that unlocks the full app. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
