Welcome to Rally: Screen Time Control! Rally transforms screen time control into a daily journey you can see, measure, and share. Instead of simply blocking apps, Rally uses visual progress, custom routines, and friendly competition to help you build healthier digital habits that last. If you want to stay focused, reduce distractions, and reclaim meaningful time from your day, Rally gives you a system that keeps you accountable and motivated. 1. Rally Ride Your Rally Ride is the core of the experience. As long as you stay away from distracting apps, your ride moves forward throughout the day. The moment you open a blocked app, progress stops. This creates a clear, intuitive connection between your actions and your results. Every day becomes a journey, and every moment of focus moves you further. 2. Daily Rally Score At the end of each day, Rally gives you a Daily Rally Score β a numeric summary of how far your Rally Ride traveled. Itβs a simple, motivating way to track your progress and measure improvement over time. Higher scores mean stronger discipline and more time reclaimed. 3. Custom Sessions Your day is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is your focus. Rally allows you to create custom sessions that match your routines and goals. Use custom sessions for work, studying, sleep, or any moment when you want intentional control over your screen time. 4. Rally Teams and Sharing Focus is easier when others are with you. Rally lets you invite friends or join an existing Rally Team in seconds. Your entire team completes their daily rallies together, compares progress, and stays accountable. Rally Teams turn habit-building into a shared experience thatβs more fun and more effective. 5. Leaderboard Inside each Rally Team, the leaderboard keeps everyone motivated. It shows: - Rallies completed - Your current streak - Total Rally miles traveled - Your most distracting app You can view results by week, month, or all time, helping you understand your performance and stay consistent. The leaderboard brings friendly competition to your focus journey and encourages you to keep improving. Rally gives you a simple, motivating system for staying focused: move your Rally Ride, earn your score, stay accountable with your team, and challenge yourself on the leaderboard. With every Rally you complete, you build stronger habits and gain back more time for the things that matter.

SquatKey

Your phone is locked. Squats are the key. SquatKey blocks the apps that eat your day β 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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β Apple keeps that private by design. YOUR RULES β’ Chill, Standard or Beast mode β set your free daily allowance and the squat price of a minute β’ Streaks, ranks and achievements with Sir Lockalot, your knight-padlock coach β’ 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 β 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.
