App blocker that makes you move: 1 blocked app and 3 habits free, no account. Walk, do push-ups or take a guided breath — then your apps unlock.
A free app blocker that unlocks with movement: block 1 app or category, then walk or do push-ups to open it. No account, no ads.
FREE: block an app or category behind real movement · blocking schedules (up to 8) · streak tracking with a monthly freeze. No account, no ads.
HOW IT WORKS
• Choose which apps or categories to block
• Pick how you will earn them back: Walking, Push-Ups, or Guided Breathing
• Complete the activity to unlock your apps
• Build streaks and earn achievements
Unlike screen time apps that just block your phone and rely on willpower, HabitUnlock turns the problem into a game. Want to scroll? Earn it first. Every unlock starts with movement — and that small shift changes everything.
THE THREE WAYS TO UNLOCK
• Walking — step-based, counted automatically
• Push-Ups — timer-based, with live progress
• Guided Breathing — a short breathing exercise when movement is not an option
Three activities you will finish beat a long menu you never open.
SMART BLOCKING
• Block specific apps or entire categories
• Up to 8 blocking schedules for focus time
• Deep Lock mode for maximum commitment — no one-tap ignore
• Emergency override with limited weekly uses
APPLE HEALTH
• Reads your step count so Walking completes on its own
• Step data is processed on your device
• Optional — decline it and the other activities still work
BUILT FOR BRAINS THAT NEED STRUCTURE
Many people who struggle with phone habits find external structure easier than willpower — and that is what HabitUnlock provides. Instead of fighting the urge to scroll, channel it: your phone becomes a reward for movement, not a source of guilt.
