Tired of wasting endless hours on social media? booty lock helps you take back control of your screen time — while keeping your body active and healthy. Here’s how it works: your selected apps are locked by default. To unlock them, you first need to complete a short squat challenge. Once you finish, you get a time-limited window (by default 30 minutes) to use your apps. When the window ends, the lock returns — and the only way forward is to squat again. Simple, effective, and good for both your mind and your body. Why it’s useful Builds discipline and reduces addictive scrolling. Adds short bursts of healthy exercise into your day. Turns screen time into something you have to “earn.” Helps you spend less time scrolling and more time moving. Privacy First Everything happens on your device only. Your video, movement data, and activity never leave your iPhone. No servers, no tracking, no third-party storage. Free Mode You can always use the free squat mode — just open the app and do your squats for a quick health boost without any timers or restrictions. Some features in this app require a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. These include: Set your own squat count. Adjust the unlock timer length to fit your lifestyle. You can access these features by starting a free trial, subscribing, or purchasing a lifetime plan. With booty lock, less screen time means more strength, more focus, and more balance in your life. Squat first, scroll later. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.bootylock.app/privacy
