Most hydration apps remind you to drink water. AquaLock makes sure you actually do. AquaLock locks the apps you waste time on — social media, YouTube, games — and won't let you back in until you've logged your water intake, verified with a quick AI photo scan. No water, no scroll. It's the only hydration habit that has real consequences. HOW IT WORKS - Set your daily water goal based on your weight, activity level, and lifestyle - Choose which apps get locked until you hit your intake milestone - Snap a photo of your drink — our AI verifies it instantly - Unlock your apps and carry on WHY IT WORKS Every other tracker relies on willpower. AquaLock uses the one thing stronger than willpower: the apps you already can't put down. By tying hydration to screen time, you build a genuine habit — not just a streak you abandon after a week. FEATURES - AI powered drink verification — no cheating, no skipping - App locking via Apple's Screen Time framework (FamilyControls) - Personalised daily water goal calculator - Free trial included — no commitment to get started - Clean, minimal interface designed to get out of your way Start drinking more water today. Your apps will be waiting. Privacy Policy: https://www.aqualock.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.aqualock.app/terms
