Earn your screen time: Unlockd

Your phone charges tolls now: ten push-ups buy 20 minutes of scrolling. Squats, planks, and short walks work too. Camera-verified, on device. No account, no sign-up.

Your favorite apps aren't the problem. Opening them without thinking is.

You don't need more willpower. You need a toll booth. Unlockd puts one in front of the apps that eat your evenings. Ten push-ups, twenty squats, a plank, or a short walk: pay the toll, and you've earned real screen time. Minutes you can spend without guilt, because you moved for them.

You're not quitting your phone. You're becoming the kind of person who chooses when to pick it up.

HOW THE TOLL WORKS

• Pick the apps that pull at you. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever yours are, using Apple's built-in Screen Time controls.
• Try to open one and you'll meet the gate: "Toll ahead." Enforced by Apple's Screen Time, not an overlay you can swipe away.
• Pay it your way: push-ups, squats, or a plank, with reps counted by your camera and on-device pose detection. Or take a walk, counted by your steps.
• One toll opens all your gated apps for the minutes it earned. When they're spent, the toll is back. Minutes don't stack. No hoarding a lazy Sunday.
• Defaults: 10 push-ups = 20 min. 20 squats = 20 min. 60-second plank = 6 min. 150 steps = 15 min. Turn the difficulty up or down until it fits your life.
• Real life happens: one emergency bypass per day, no questions asked.

App blockers get deleted because a tap is free. Unlockd is screen time control that charges for the tap — and the currency is movement.

BE PRESENT

Sometimes you don't want to earn time — you want to be somewhere. Be Present locks down everything except the essentials for a window you choose: a meal, deep work, dinner, a night out. There is no pause button. The only early exit is deleting the app. That's not a bug; that's the promise you're making.

And you don't have to make it alone. Invite friends with a QR code, lock down together, and end at the same moment. No accounts, no server — it works entirely offline, even in a basement restaurant.

YOUR JOURNEY, HONESTLY

No red charts designed to shame you. Just honest figures: push-ups, squats, plank time, and steps — this week and all-time. A day streak with one grace day built in, because missing a Tuesday shouldn't erase a month. And a screen-time mirror that shows your total and where it actually goes, straight from Apple's own reporting.

WHAT UNLOCKD ISN'T

Unlockd is free. No subscription required. There's an optional supporter purchase if you'd like to back the work. It isn't a shame machine. And it doesn't pretend movement fixes everything; it just makes sure the scroll costs something, and that the cost is movement. This version is fitness-only: push-ups, squats, planks, and walks.

The apps will still be there. Go move first.

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE

No account. No sign-up. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Your stats live on your device, and the camera frames that count your reps are processed on-device and never stored or uploaded. We couldn't read your data if we wanted to. There's nowhere for it to go.

Requires Screen Time permission to gate apps; rep counting uses your camera and walks use motion data. All processed on device. iPhone only.
