Forge vs Up Lock

Forge is an app blocker that makes you earn your screen time with exercise. Do push-ups or squats, the camera counts every rep on your iPhone, and your apps unlock for the time you earned. Pick the apps that eat your day: social media, video, games. When your daily free allowance runs out, Forge blocks them. Want more time? Do the reps. Effort first, screen after. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your time. 2. Choose how many minutes you want. 3. Do your reps. The camera counts every one on device. 4. Your apps unlock. When time runs out, the shield comes back. WHY FORGE - Exercise-based: your body is the key, not a pause screen you can tap through - Free to start, no subscription - One-time Pro purchase, family sharing included - No account required EARN IT LIKE A GAME Forge Ranks: climb from Spark to Titan of the Forge as your lifetime score grows. Daily streaks keep you honest. A worldwide leaderboard by country. A FORGED stamp every time you finish a set. YOU SET THE RULES Free minutes per day if you want them: strict, balanced, or generous. Everything beyond that is earned. A three stage friction gate stops rage quitting. PRO, ONCE, FOREVER Squats are free forever. Forge Lifetime adds push-up mode, walking mode (100 steps = 1 minute), full statistics, encrypted backup, and removes every ad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The camera never records: pose detection runs entirely on your iPhone. No video is stored or uploaded. Forge yourself stronger.

Stop losing hours to apps designed to keep you hooked. Up Lock puts your most distracting apps behind a quick workout — so every time you reach for the scroll, you earn it back with your body. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps that eat your day — social media, games, whatever pulls you in. • When you open one, Up Lock asks for a few reps: push-ups, squats, or jumping jacks. • Your camera counts them live, on your device. Hit the target and the app unlocks for a timed window. • When the time's up, it locks again. Move to scroll — every time. BUILT TO ACTUALLY WORK • Real blocking. Up Lock uses Apple's Screen Time controls for genuine, system-level locking — not an honor system. • Counts reps for you. On-device pose detection tracks every rep with a live skeleton overlay. No manual tapping, no cheating. • Scaled to you. Tell Up Lock how many push-ups you can do and it tunes every target to your fitness level — challenging, never impossible. • Daily limits & streaks. Set how much unlock time you get per app each day, build a streak, and keep it alive. • See your progress. A stats page tracks time reclaimed, calories burned, workouts done, and total reps — "3,500 jumping jacks this year" hits different. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. The camera never records or uploads anything, there's no account to create, and we don't track you. Full policy at up-lock.app/privacy.
