Are you wasting years of your life on social media? SweatUnlock is not just another screen time blocker. It is a tool for radical transformation. We turn your digital addiction into physical strength. Most blockers are easy to ignore. SweatUnlock is different. When your time is up, your distracting apps are locked behind a hard shield. The only way to unlock them? Physical exercise. HOW IT WORKS: Choose Your Enemies: Select the apps that steal your time. Set Your Price: Decide the "exchange rate." Example: 2 reps = 1 minute of screen time. The Shield Activates: When you run out of time, your apps are blocked. Pay the Toll: Use your camera to perform Squats, Push Ups, or Jumping Jacks. AI Verification: Our advanced AI counts your reps in real-time. No cheating allowed. KEY FEATURES: • AI Rep Counting: Uses the front camera to track your form and count reps automatically. Privacy-first: images are processed on-device and never saved. • Hard Blocking: The "Shield" effectively blocks access to selected apps until you complete your workout. • Gamification: Earn badges, level up from "Digital Novice" to "Time Lord," and maintain your streak. • Detailed Stats: Visualize how much time you've reclaimed and how many calories you've burned. • Multiple Exercises: Choose between Squats (Legs), Push Ups (Upper Body), or Jumping Jacks (Cardio). WHY SWEATUNLOCK? Willpower is limited. Systems are forever. By attaching a "physical cost" to your "cheap dopamine," you retrain your brain. You will either get fit, or you will stop scrolling. Either way, you win. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING & TERMS: SweatUnlock offers two auto-renewing subscription options to unlock full access: • Monthly Premium • Annual Premium (Best Value) Your subscription will automatically renew within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. You can turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID Account Settings.
