Your phone is locked. Squats are the key. SquatKey blocks the apps that eat your day โ€” and sells the minutes back for squats. Ten squats, ten minutes. Your addiction funds your legs. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your poison. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube โ€” choose the apps and websites that steal your time. 2. The clock runs out. You get a daily allowance. When it's gone, your apps lock behind a shield. No snooze button. 3. Pay in squats. Hold your phone, do real squats, and watch the minutes land. Your phone's motion sensors count every honest rep. WHY IT WORKS WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILED Screen Time limits have an "Ignore" button. Grayscale didn't stop you. Deleting the app lasted four days. SquatKey works because it doesn't ask for willpower โ€” it puts a price on scrolling, and your legs pay it. REAL BLOCKING, NOT A REMINDER Built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework โ€” the same system-level blocking used by parental controls. Blocked apps are actually unopenable until you earn more time. NO CAMERA. EVER. Squats are detected by the accelerometer with the phone in your hand or pocket. Nothing is filmed, nothing leaves your device. We can't even see which apps you block โ€” Apple keeps that private by design. YOUR RULES โ€ข Chill, Standard or Beast mode โ€” set your free daily allowance and the squat price of a minute โ€ข Streaks, ranks and achievements with Sir Lockalot, your knight-padlock coach โ€ข Stats that show the time you took back, not the time you lost THE MATH At 4 hours a day, your phone costs you 60 days a year. SquatKey members trade a few sets of squats for hours of reclaimed time โ€” and get stronger legs as a side effect. SquatKey is a subscription with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or after the trial. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://squatkey.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://squatkey.com/privacy Your comeback starts with one squat.
