ShakeLock - Shake to Unblock

Add one tiny shake before every TikTok, Reels, YouTube open. Stop mindless doomscrolling with a physical speed bump. 3 difficulty levels. Free to try.

You unlock your phone. Before you know it, 30 minutes of TikTok are gone.

ShakeLock adds one tiny physical hurdle — a shake — to every app that hooks you. Just enough to break the autopilot.

WHO IT'S FOR

• People who lose hours to YouTube, Reels, TikTok, X
• Students and workers who need real focus, not just willpower
• Anyone who tried Screen Time and watched themselves tap "Ignore Limit"
• Digital detox, dopamine reset, attention training

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick the apps you want to limit (YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok, games, anything)
2. When you tap them, a "Locked" shield appears instead
3. Tap the notification, then shake your phone to unlock
4. Keep shaking — the ring fills up. Stop, and it drains. Continuous energy, not a step counter.
5. Hit 100% and the app finally opens

WHAT MAKES IT WORK

• 3 difficulty levels (Easy / Normal / Hard) — tune shake intensity, fill time, and drain rate to your own resistance
• After unlocking, the app stays open for your chosen cooldown (e.g., 5 min). Auto-relocks when time's up.
• Built on iOS Screen Time / Family Controls — the lock is real, not a screen overlay
• Optional: watch a rewarded ad to skip the shake (still better than thoughtless taps)
• Interstitial every 3rd unlock keeps the app free

PREMIUM (monthly subscription)

• No ads
• "Watch ad to open instantly" — unlimited
• "Temporary unlock from Settings" — unlimited
• "Delete penalty ads" skipped (you can remove locked apps without watching 3 rewarded ads)

PRIVACY

• Uses Family Controls, Notifications, Shortcuts permissions
• No personally identifying data collected
• Full policy linked in-app

This isn't another willpower app. It's a 1-second physical interruption that lets your conscious self catch up to your thumb. Try it for a day — you'll feel the difference.
