Does your phone keep distracting you during workouts? -> Yes Do your workouts take longer because you get stuck doomscrolling? -> Yes Then Workout Lock is for you. Workout Lock blocks distracting apps while you train, and helps you stay on pace. Your time at the gym stays focused on training, and your workouts finish on time. TRACK WORKOUTS HOW YOU LIKE ------------------------------------ Workout Lock supports multiple ways of tracking your workout sessions: 1. Timed (simplest) You define a plain time block for your workout. Distracting apps stay blocked until your workout time is up. 2. Checklist (most flexible) You list the exercises or tasks you have to complete for a day's workout and check them while you go through them. Apps stay blocked until the checklist is finished. 3. Guided (most professional) You define the exact exercises, sets, reps and rest times for your training session. Workout Lock guides you through the session, keeps track of your progress and helps you stay on pace with alerts, timers and progress indicators. BLOCK THE APPS GRAB YOUR ATTENTION ------------------------------------------- Choose the distracting apps and categories you tend to open at the gym. During your workout, Workout Lock keeps them blocked so checking your phone does not turn into another scrolling session. Keep your phone with you for the things you actually need at the gym, while keeping social media and other distractions out of the way. STAY ON PACE --------------- Guided workouts help you see whether you are ahead of or behind your target pace. Workout Lock tracks your progress through exercises, sets and rests, so you can notice when a workout is starting to drift before it runs long. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND ------------------------------ Workout Lock uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to block the apps and categories you choose during your workouts. This means Workout Lock doesn't see the actual apps you have installed and select to block, only Apple does. More about privacy at https://workout-lock.public-apps.com/privacy. TERMS Of USE --------------- https://workout-lock.public-apps.com/terms https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ HAVE FEEDBACK / IDEAS? -------------------------- Workout Lock is actively being improved. If you have an idea for a workout mode, feature or improvement that would help you stay focused and finish on time, send us a message.
