RepLock, 1 push-up = 1 minute of app access. Exercise to unlock your apps. RepLock is a screen time control app that blocks distracting apps until you complete a short exercise. Instead of relying on willpower or timers, RepLock introduces a simple rule: If you want screen time, you earn it. Before opening selected apps, complete a few push-ups. 1 push-up = 1 minute of app access. This turns passive scrolling into physical action. How RepLock works • Choose the apps you want to limit • RepLock blocks them • Do push-ups to unlock them • Earn screen time through movement No complicated systems. Just a clear rule. Key Features Exercise Unlock • Unlock apps with push-ups • Built-in pose detection using your camera • Anti-cheat movement verification App Blocking • Block distracting apps like TikTok or Instagram • Set screen time limits • Automatic enforcement before opening apps Why RepLock exists Scrolling requires almost no effort. Movement requires real effort. RepLock connects the two. The result: Less scrolling. More movement. A healthier relationship with your phone.

Block It!

Stop mindless scrolling. Build intentional screen time. We’ve all been there: you pick up your phone for a quick check, and thirty minutes disappear into endless feeds. You want help stepping away, without giving up the apps you need. Block It! helps you find that balance. Block distracting apps and websites, protect your focus, and choose how to handle the urge before you unlock—with a short pause, a little movement, or a timed break. ◆ BLOCK DISTRACTIONS, KEEP ESSENTIALS • Block distractions: Choose the apps and websites you want to block, such as social media, video feeds, games, or news. • Keep essentials: During focused time, allow only the apps you need, such as navigation, notes, or work messaging, while other supported apps stay blocked. ◆ 3 WAYS TO FIT YOUR ROUTINE • Focus Timer: Start an on-demand block for deep work, reading, or study sessions—for example, 25 or 45 minutes. • Automated Schedules: Set aside focused time around your regular routine—protect your work mornings, family dinners, or bedtime. • Daily Allowances: Give yourself a daily time budget for selected apps—for example, 20 minutes of social media a day. Those apps are blocked automatically when the allowance is reached. ◆ PAUSE BEFORE YOU UNLOCK Choose a cooldown or guided breathing before temporary access, complete camera-counted squats or pushups, take a timed Quick Break, or disable breaks. Blocking resumes when access ends if the Rule is still active. ◆ SEE YOUR PROGRESS Manage your blocks in Rules, explore Screen Time in Insights, and find preferences in Settings. • View today's Screen Time, the last seven days, and Day, Week, or Month reports. Browse available past periods with Pro. • Choose apps to exclude from Block It! reports. This changes only these reports, not Apple's Screen Time totals, blocking Rules, or Daily Limits. • In Activities, review completed breathing and cooldown durations and squat and pushup repetitions by week, month, or year. ◆ YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your attention is personal, and so is your data. • On-Device Movement Counting: Camera video used to count your squats and pushups is processed on your device. • Local Settings: Your blocking setups and settings stay on this device. Only completed action history can sync through your private iCloud account when available. Start with the app that distracts you most. Make more time for the things you want to do. Some features require a Pro subscription. Privacy Policy: https://blockit.tingogo.com/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
