Coming soon to the App Store

Earn your screen time.

Up Lock puts your most distracting apps behind a quick workout. Do the reps — counted by your camera — to unlock them. Your phone becomes the thing that gets you moving.

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.

1

Choose your apps

Select the apps you want to put behind a workout, and set your difficulty.

2

Do the reps

When you open a locked app, Up Lock asks for a few reps and counts them with your camera.

3

Unlock — for a while

Finish the set and the app unlocks for a timed window. When it's up, it locks again.
