Lock the apps, sweat for the unlock, watch the streak climb. Here's the loop.
Do 10 push-ups in Push2Unlock to earn screen time.
Why it works
Not another willpower app you swipe past. Push2Unlock puts a real, physical price on mindless scrolling.
Angle-based detection with smoothing and anti-cheat checks. Waving your hand won't count โ only real reps do.
Real-time hints โ "Go lower", "Lock your arms", "Move back so I can see you." Counts and coaches at once.
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, games โ anything. One-tap locks plus reusable modes and schedules.
Earn 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. A Live Activity counts down on your Lock Screen, then apps re-lock on their own.
Track reps, streaks, and the screen time you actually sweated for. Build the habit, see the proof.
While apps are locked, the rules that lock them are frozen. No quick edits to weasel out of your own plan.
How it works
Pick the apps to block โ instantly, on a schedule, or with a saved mode. They go dark until you earn them.
Prop up the phone. Push-ups, squats, or sit-ups โ the camera counts each rep with haptic and voice feedback.
Hit your target and unlock for a set window. When the timer ends, everything locks again โ automatically.
Every rep is detected on-device using Apple Vision. No video is ever recorded, saved, or uploaded. There's no account, no sign-up, and no analytics on your workouts. Privacy isn't a setting here โ it's the architecture.
