The Algorithm is Winning. Take Your Brain Back. You've tried willpower. You've tried deleting apps. You've tried those blockers that let you bypass with one tap. Nothing sticks. Because the problem isn't you. it's billion-dollar engagement algorithms designed to keep you scrolling. Runlock is different. It's not a blocker. It's a currency exchange. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to limit (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) 2. They're locked by default 3. Want your apps back? Move. 4. Do push-ups, squats, or go for a run 5. Your physical effort converts to screen time That's it. No willpower required. Just a simple transaction: sweat for screen time. REAL EXERCISE TRACKING • Push-ups & Squats: Computer vision tracks your reps using your front camera. No faking it. The AI counts every proper rep. • Running: GPS tracks your distance and pace. Watch your route appear on the map as you earn coins. • Coins Economy: Earn coins through exercise. Spend coins to unlock screen time. Simple. WHY IT ACTUALLY WORKS Traditional blockers fail because they rely on willpower, which is finite. They also create a void: you stop a habit without replacing it. This leads to the binge-purge cycle: block apps, eventually bypass, feel guilty, repeat. Runlock replaces the dopamine hit of scrolling with the endorphin hit of exercise. It's habit replacement, backed by neuroscience. FEATURES • Block any app using Apple's Screen Time API • Earn time through verified physical activity • Real-time GPS run tracking with route visualization • AI-powered rep counting for push-ups and squats • Achievement system with streaks and milestones • Daily activity log with coins earned • Emergency unlock (limited uses per year; for when you truly need it) • Beautiful, minimal dark UI THE PHILOSOPHY We're not anti-phone. We're anti-brain-hijacking. Social media companies spend billions engineering dopamine loops to steal your attention. Runlock gives you a fighting chance. Think of it as your personal bodyguard against the algorithm. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who's failed with traditional blockers • People who want more exercise but lack motivation • Students who need focus but keep picking up their phone • Anyone tired of wasting hours doom-scrolling • People who want to actually feel good about their screen time THE DEAL You're not giving up your apps. You're earning them. And in the process, you're getting fitter, healthier, and more in control of your attention. Half the screen time. Double the gains. Download Runlock. The algorithm won't know what hit it. NOTE: All app features require a subscription. Find out more at: https://runlock.app/terms/
