Move first. Scroll later. Runner Lock turns app blocking into a reason to move. At the time you choose, it blocks the distracting apps you selected. Complete your workout or reach your saved destination, check it in Runner Lock, and your apps stay unlocked until the next Daily Lock. Runner Lock requires an active Runner Lock Premium subscription after the 3-day free trial to configure and use Daily Lock, including app blocking, scheduling, workout or destination verification, progress history, and workout Stamps. Subscription options and localized prices are shown in the app before purchase. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps or categories that distract you. 2. Set the days and time for your Daily Lock. 3. Choose Workout or Destination as your unlock rule. 4. Complete your rule and check it in Runner Lock. 5. Use your apps normally until the next Daily Lock. UNLOCK WITH A WORKOUT Runner Lock checks workouts already recorded in Apple Health. A walk, run, bike ride, strength session, or other supported workout can count when it meets the minimum duration you set. Keep using the Apple Watch or workout app you already use. Workouts added manually to Apple Health do not count toward unlocking. UNLOCK AT A DESTINATION Save a place you want to reach, such as your gym, park, or track. When you arrive, tap Check Location. Runner Lock checks your current location once to confirm that you are there. It does not continuously track your route. CREATE AND SHARE WORKOUT STAMPS Turn a recent Apple Health workout into a photo or video Stamp. Add the workout route, distance, duration, and date using Full, Route, or Stats layouts. Choose square or portrait format, and trim videos to a clip of up to 20 seconds with original audio. Route access is optional; workouts without route data can still use the Stats layout. Save the result to Photos or keep photo Stamps in your local gallery.

Selected media and generated Stamps are not uploaded by Runner Lock. There are no user accounts, third-party ads, or cross-app tracking. Runner Lock is a habit tool and does not provide medical advice or decide whether exercise is safe for you. On days when you need a break, Emergency unlock keeps your apps available until the next Daily Lock. Screen Time permission is required to block selected apps.
