Unlock distracting apps by moving first. UnlocksMove is an app blocker that turns screen time into something you earn. Choose the apps that pull you in, complete push-ups or squats with camera-based rep detection, bank minutes, then unlock only the time you earned. How it works: • Choose distracting apps to protect • Complete push-ups or squats • Earn unlock minutes for clean movement • Spend minutes only while selected apps are actually in use • Relock apps when your bank runs out Why it works: UnlocksMove gives your body a vote before your phone gets your attention. It is built for people who want a simple, physical interruption before scrolling — not another timer, dashboard, or willpower test. Key Features: • App blocker powered by Apple Screen Time • Movement-based app unlocks • Active-use minute bank • Push-up and squat detection • Camera-based rep counting • No account required • Privacy-conscious on-device movement flow UnlocksMove Pro unlocks the full movement-to-app-access system with weekly and yearly subscription options.
