Your phone shouldn’t get more exercise than you do. WorkoutFirst blocks distracting apps until you hit your daily movement goal. It connects with Apple Health to track your progress automatically — so when you move, WorkoutFirst knows. Hit your goal. Your apps unlock. Don’t hit it. They stay locked. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to limit. 2. Set your daily exercise goal (minutes, steps, calories). 3. WorkoutFirst tracks your progress through Apple Health. 4. Hit your goal and your apps unlock automatically. 5. Apps relock again at your daily reset time. That’s it. WorkoutFirst isn't another fitness tracker asking you to log everything you do. And it isn't another screen-time app you can casually ignore. It connects something you already want — your apps — to something you know you should do — move. Workout first. Scroll later. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your daily progress, build streaks, and watch your consistency grow over time. Your movement is already being tracked. WorkoutFirst gives it consequences. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Your health data is personal. WorkoutFirst keeps it that way. • No account required • No login required • Health and activity data stays on your device • Your data is never sold WorkoutFirst only requests access to the Apple Health data needed to track the goals you choose. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who wants less scrolling and more movement • People tired of relying on motivation • Anyone who wants their screen-time limits tied to something meaningful • People who want a simple rule that holds them accountable Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
