About

Push2Unlock App Blocker

Read full description

Push2Unlock blocks the apps that steal your time — and makes you earn them back with real exercise. When you try to open a blocked app, you see a lock screen instead of an endless feed. To unlock, do a set of push-ups, squats, or sit-ups in front of your camera. Your iPhone counts every rep on-device using Apple Vision. Finish the set and you get a timed window — 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes — before your apps automatically re-lock. A few minutes of movement for a few minutes of scrolling. That's the deal. WHY PUSH2UNLOCK • Reliable rep counting — angle-based detection with smoothing and anti-cheat. Half reps and hand-waving don't count. • Live form feedback — real-time hints like "Go lower" or "Move back, I can't see your whole body" while you exercise. Most blockers just show a number. • 100% private — all pose detection runs on your device with Apple Vision. No video is ever recorded, saved, or uploaded. No account, no sign-up. FEATURES • Block any app or website using Apple Screen Time • Three exercises: push-ups, squats, and sit-ups • Timed unlock windows: 15 / 30 / 60 / 120 minutes • Blocking Modes — reusable app groups like "Social Media" or "Deep Work" • Schedules — auto-lock at set times and days, including overnight • Live Activity & Dynamic Island countdown of your unlock window • Streaks, daily quests, and stats charts to keep you going • Spoken rep counts and haptic feedback — great when your phone is on the floor • Edit-freeze — locked modes can't be edited away mid-session, so you can't cheat yourself out of a workout HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to block. 2. Set how many reps unlock them. 3. When you reach for a blocked app, do your reps. 4. Earn your screen time. Apps re-lock automatically. PRIVACY FIRST Your camera feed never leaves your iPhone. Pose detection is processed live and discarded frame by frame. There are no accounts and no servers — everything stays on your device.
