GYAM (Get Your Ass Moving) is the alarm clock that actually gets you out of bed. Here's how it works: You set a step goal and a morning time window. Until you hit those steps, your apps are blocked. No Instagram. No TikTok. No Reddit doom-scrolling. Just you, your shoes, and the door. THE PROBLEM You've tried everything. Multiple alarms. Sleep apps. Willpower. But every morning it's the same: you grab your phone, tell yourself "just 5 minutes," and suddenly it's noon. THE SOLUTION GYAM uses Screen Time to actually block the apps you waste time on. Not a gentle reminder. Not a notification you can swipe away. A real block that only lifts when your feet hit the pavement. HOW IT WORKS • Set your step goal (500 to 10,000 steps) • Choose which apps to block • Pick your morning window • Wake up and walk PENALTIES FOR QUITTERS Give up before hitting your goal? You'll face a consequence: • Post a shame story to Instagram • Watch unskippable ads • Send an automated "I failed" text to your accountability partner • Call mom and explain why you're still in bed FEATURES • Multiple "blockers" with different schedules for Pro users • Per-day customization (easier weekends, harder weekdays) • Streak tracking to build the habit • Home screen widget to see your progress • Works even if you kill the app PRIVACY FIRST GYAM reads your step count from Apple Health. That's it. No account required. No data leaves your device. No creepy tracking. BUILT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY This app is designed to be hard to cheat. Reinstall it? We'll know. Try to delete it mid-block? Good luck. This is for people who are serious about changing their mornings. Stop negotiating with yourself every morning. Download GYAM and get your ass moving.
