What Up Lock does
A simple deal with yourself: move your body, earn your apps.
Lock the apps that hook you
Pick the apps that eat your day. Up Lock uses Apple's Screen Time controls to put a real lock in front of them.
Reps to unlock
Push-ups, squats, jumping jacks — counted live by your camera, on your device. Hit the target and the app opens for a timed window.
Caps, streaks & calories
Daily unlock budgets, a streak to protect, and calories earned — so the habit actually sticks.
Private by design
Everything runs on your device. The camera never records, and there's no account to create. See our privacy policy →
How it works
Set it up once. Then earn your time, rep by rep.
Choose your apps
Select the apps you want to put behind a workout, and set your difficulty.
Do the reps
When you open a locked app, Up Lock asks for a few reps and counts them with your camera.
Unlock — for a while
Finish the set and the app unlocks for a timed window. When it's up, it locks again.
