SugarLock is the app lock for iPhone that makes screen time control rewarding. Unlike typical app blockers that just restrict access, SugarLock gamifies digital wellness by connecting your phone usage to physical activity. Lock apps you choose, unlock them by walking – it's that simple. Transform your iPhone into a minimalist phone that rewards healthy behavior instead of mindless scrolling. TWO WAYS TO LOCK APPS & BUILD BETTER HABITS Choose the quest mode that fits your lifestyle: FOOD QUEST MODE - Perfect for Meal-Based Routines • Take a photo of your meal to start a quest • Selected apps lock for 3-4 hours • Walk to progressively unlock each app • Recognizes 300+ foods with AI (pizza, salad, sushi, and more) • Flexible timing based on when you eat • Combines food awareness with post-meal activity Want to create a dumb phone experience after eating? Food Quest transforms your phone into a movement-driven device that only unlocks as you walk. DAILY QUEST MODE - Classic App Locker with a Twist • All selected apps automatically lock at midnight • Walk throughout the day to unlock them progressively • Each app has its own step goal • Hit your daily targets for full access • Perfect for building consistent routines • Traditional screen time control meets fitness gamification Daily Quest is the ultimate minimalist phone solution – your apps stay locked until you've earned them through movement. POWERFUL APP LOCK FEATURES Smart App Selection • Choose exactly which apps to lock (social media, games, news, etc.) • Premium: Unlimited app blocking • Works with any iPhone app Real-Time Tracking • HealthKit integration for accurate step counting • Live progress bars show unlock status • Quest history with statistics • 7-day activity charts • Current streak tracking You Stay in Control • Emergency override phrase for urgent access • Switch quest modes (24-hour cooldown prevents gaming the system) • Customize step goals per app • Full control over which apps to lock/unlock Food Recognition Technology • Built-in AI recognizes 300+ foods • Pizza, burgers, salads, sushi, tacos, and more • Food photos saved to your library for meal tracking • Optional feature (Daily Quest works without it) Beautiful Design • Clean, motivating interface • Animated progress indicators • Quest completion celebrations • Dark mode support • Intuitive onboarding WHY SUGARLOCK IS DIFFERENT Most app lockers and screen time control apps just block access. That's frustrating and often leads to disabling the blocker entirely. SugarLock flips the script: every app unlock is earned through physical activity. This creates positive reinforcement – you WANT to walk because it unlocks your apps. The result? Less phone addiction, more movement, better habits. It's the perfect balance between a minimalist phone experience and staying connected when you need to be. IDEAL FOR: Breaking phone addiction and doomscrolling Building a healthier relationship with your device Post-meal walking habits (great for digestion & wellness) Creating intentional "dumb phone" time Productivity and deep focus sessions Digital minimalism without going extreme Combining fitness goals with screen time management Anyone wanting an app locker that actually works PRIVACY & SECURITY Your data, your device, your control: • All data stored locally on your iPhone • No account required • No data collected or sold • HealthKit data never leaves your device • Photos saved to your library only • Complete transparency We don't track you, monitor you, or monetize your data. Period. HEALTHKIT INTEGRATION SugarLock reads your step count via Apple HealthKit to track quest progress and unlock apps. Your health data remains private on your device and is never shared with third parties. Terms of Use: https://rudeus.io/sugarlock/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://rudeus.io/sugarlock/privacy.html
