About

RepLock

Your apps stay locked until you've earned them. RepLock blocks the apps that eat your day. To unlock them, there's exactly one way: real exercise, counted by your camera. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to block. RepLock shields them with Apple's Screen Time technology. 2. When you want your apps back, do squats or pushups, or hold a plank. Your camera verifies every rep, live and on-device. 3. Reps become minutes in your balance. Spend them whenever you want — your screen time waits for you. WHY REPLOCK IS DIFFERENT — A balance, not a stopwatch. Every verified rep deposits minutes into your bank. Save them up, spend them when it counts. — Strict by design. No skip button, no "just five more minutes", no escape hatch. The shield stays until the reps are done. — Three verified exercises. Squats, pushups, and planks — each checked live by on-device body detection. — You set the exchange rate. From 0.1 to 5 minutes per rep, per exercise. Make it as expensive as you need it to be. — Get-ready countdown and a live rep counter, so setup movements never count as reps. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything that matters happens on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. Camera frames are processed in real time on-device and are never stored or sent anywhere. The only thing RepLock sends is anonymous usage statistics (which screens are used, how many sessions are completed) — never linked to you, never sold. REPLOCK PRO Start with a free trial, then one simple yearly subscription. Unlimited app blocking, all three exercises, every feature included. You already know willpower isn't enough — you've tried the timers and the limits. Put your screen time behind something that actually costs effort. Doomscrolling got you here. Squats will get you out. Privacy Policy: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/terms.html
