Take back your time. PulseLock locks your most distracting apps until you earn them back through real exercise. No willpower required, just move. Here's how it works: choose the apps that eat your time (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, whatever pulls you in). PulseLock locks them. To unlock them, you get moving, and your live Apple Watch heart rate verifies you actually did. Get your heart rate up, get your apps back. What makes PulseLock different: Most "exercise to unlock" apps let you fake it with a few steps or push-ups. PulseLock uses your live Apple Watch heart rate, so you genuinely have to earn it. Real effort, tracked in real time. Three ways to earn: 1. Heart Rate: your verified, recommended method. Keep your heart rate up and bank time as you go. 2. Workout and Steps: flexible alternatives when you want them. 3. Move & Watch: Want to scroll while you move? Move & Watch keeps your apps unlocked live as long as your heart rate stays up. Stairmaster and social media, together. Built to respect your privacy: Your health data stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no selling your data. PulseLock reads your heart rate to power the app, nothing more. Requires an Apple Watch for the heart-rate feature. Workout and step-based earning are available without one. PulseLock is a subscription with a free trial. Cancel anytime. Take back your time. Earn your scroll. PulseLock offers an auto-renewing subscription: - Monthly: $4.99/month - Yearly: $39.99/year Includes a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
