Features & Capabilities

Stop mindless scrolling with the app blocker that makes you earn your screen time.

MonkeyLock is a screen time app and social media blocker that locks distracting apps until you earn more time through exercise, walking, and healthy habits. Instead of relying on willpower, MonkeyLock helps you reduce screen time, stay focused, and build better digital wellbeing habits.

Lock the apps you can't stop opening—Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, X, Facebook, Snapchat, Discord, or any other distracting app. When you run out of earned screen time, those apps stay locked until you move your body. No "Ignore Limit" button. No endless reminders. Just a simple system that helps break the scrolling habit.

Most screen time apps tell you to stop scrolling. MonkeyLock gives you a reason to.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Choose the apps you want to limit.
  2. Your screen time balance starts at zero.
  3. Exercise, walk, or complete activities to earn minutes.
  4. Spend those minutes however you want. When they're gone, the apps lock again until you earn more.

Every minute on social media becomes something you earned—not something you accidentally lost.

EARN SCREEN TIME THROUGH MOVEMENT

• Camera-tracked workouts including push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges, and jump rope using private, on-device pose detection. • Walking automatically converts Apple Health steps into screen time. • Brain games including Sudoku, Hangman, Memory Match, and Word Drip can earn up to 15 minutes per day. • Earn bonus time by completing verified outdoor photo challenges.

Physical activity has no daily limit. The more you move, the more screen time you can earn.

BREAK THE DOOMSCROLLING HABIT

MonkeyLock is designed for anyone trying to:

• Reduce screen time • Block distracting apps • Limit social media • Stop doomscrolling • Improve focus and productivity • Build healthier phone habits • Create better digital wellbeing routines

Track streaks for the habits you're trying to improve, including doomscrolling, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, junk food, etc. Complete daily quests, level up, earn XP, and stay motivated with game-inspired challenges that reward consistency instead of punishment.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your privacy comes first.

Camera processing happens entirely on your device. Photos are never uploaded. Apple Health is read-only. We never see your workouts, your photos, or your personal data.

MonkeyLock is built for personal self-control—not parental monitoring, employee management, or surveillance.

Start your 7-day free trial and discover a different way to use your phone.

Move first. Scroll later. Earn your screen time.
