I've been meditating since childhood. OMAD — one meal a day (on Mondays) — has long been part of my life. Much of this work doesn’t show up on a fitness dashboard. On the spiritual path, outcomes aren’t in your control. Realisation cannot be scheduled. But effort can. Showing up can. When doubt arises, you need something that reminds you: you showed up. FastingMonk was built to hold that record. — WHAT FASTINGMONK IS — FastingMonk is a quiet companion for fasting, meditation, Tapas, and daily intention — all in one private space. No account. No ads. The core app is free, permanently. If it serves you, you can choose to support it with premium. — FASTING TIMER — A clean intermittent fasting timer. Set 16:8, 18:6, OMAD, 5:2, or custom durations. Track your fasting stage — fat burning, ketosis, autophagy — and stay aware of your body’s process. — MEDITATION TIMER — A simple timer that stays out of the way. Track multiple sessions per day. Your total sitting time accumulates over days and years — a visible record of effort. Multiple sessions in a day are tracked automatically — because serious practitioners often sit more than once, and every session is its own complete act. Your cumulative sitting time is recorded across days, months, and years. When doubt appears — and it will — you can open FastingMonk and see the hours. The effort is documented. The path is real. — TAPAS TRACKER — Tapas is discipline held over time. Create custom vows — fasting, silence, mantra, or anything meaningful. Set a count, track progress, and stay committed. — TO-DOS BAKED IN — Practice and life are not separate. A built-in to-do list keeps your discipline consistent across everything you do. — EFFORT OVER OUTCOME — Most apps track results. FastingMonk tracks effort — the one thing you control. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account required. Your data stays on your device. Built simply, quietly, in service of your practice. The core app is free. Premium is optional — no pressure. The path is long. Show up anyway.

STOP DOOMSCROLLING. START TRAINING. SquatLock is a screen time app and app blocker built for women who would rather earn a stronger body than lose another hour to Instagram. It locks your most distracting apps behind one simple rule: move your body to unlock your phone. Every rep earns screen time, counted live by your iPhone's camera. No timers, no willpower, no guilt spirals. Just squats, jumping jacks, lunges, or push-ups. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to block: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, or whatever pulls you in. 2. Choose your daily free allowance and how many minutes each rep earns. Gentle nudge or tough challenge, SquatLock adapts to your goals. 3. Open a blocked app and SquatLock's shield appears instead. 4. Prop your phone against something sturdy and start moving. Every completed rep adds minutes to your balance. Your earned minutes never expire. Bank them after a Sunday workout, spend them on a Tuesday scroll. Need extra time? Claim a free 30-minute Emergency Grant once per day. Your allowance and grant reset every morning at 4 a.m. WHY IT WORKS Willpower fades. Friction works.

FEATURES • Real rep counting, on device. Live camera pose detection powered by Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your phone. • Flexible difficulty. Earn 1, 2, or 3 minutes of screen time per rep and find the balance that works for you. • Daily free allowance. Give yourself a set amount of free screen time before earned minutes take over. • Four exercises, one currency. Squats, jumping jacks, forward lunges, and push-ups.

WHO IT'S FOR • Women building healthier screen time habits through daily movement. • Anyone stuck in the doomscroll, guilt, doomscroll cycle. • People who want a real digital detox instead of another timer that gets swiped away in seconds. • Students, professionals, remote workers, and creators who want to stay focused. • Anyone who wants fitness to become part of their routine, not another task on their to-do list. WHAT IT ISN'T Not another timer. Not a punishment app. Not a coach yelling at you. SquatLock never guilt-trips you, never nags you, and never sells your data. The deal is simple: your body unlocks your phone. Download SquatLock today. Trade your scroll for your squat. Earn every minute.
