Lock the apps that eat your day. Earn them back with push-ups. Unlocky keeps Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any app you choose locked with Apple's Screen Time. When you want in, do a quick set in front of your camera: push-ups, squats or jumping jacks. Unlocky counts every rep and checks your form. Finish the set and the app opens for a few minutes of use. Then it locks again. REAL REPS ONLY ⢠Live body tracking counts your reps as you move ⢠Half reps, sagging hips and arm-flapping don't count ⢠Works with the phone beside you or in front of you, and shows you what it sees YOU SET THE PRICE ⢠Choose which exercises unlock apps and how many minutes each set is worth ⢠Earned minutes only count while you actually use the app ⢠Rising price: every unlock costs a bit more than the last one that day ⢠A daily maximum so one binge can't eat your evening NO EASY WAY AROUND ⢠Locked apps are locked in Safari too ⢠Unlocks end on their own: the app locks again when your minutes are used up PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking ⢠The camera is analyzed live on your iPhone. No video or photo is ever saved or sent anywhere ⢠Unlocky can't see what you do in other apps FREE No subscription and no paywall. Unlocky uses Apple's Screen Time to lock apps. You can turn its access off at any time in the iPhone Settings app. Exercise at your own pace and stop if anything hurts. If you have a health condition, check with a doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
