Every blocker has an off switch you find by Thursday. EarnLock's is your own body — move, and your apps open themselves. Free for one app. Nothing leaves your phone. It's 11pm again, and you couldn't name a single thing you saw. You didn't decide to spend two hours there. Nobody does. Those apps are built by people whose whole job is to decide it for you, and they are very good at it. So EarnLock takes the decision out of the moment and hands it to the one thing that can't be talked around: your body. MOVE FIRST. SCROLL LATER. Pick the apps that keep eating your evenings. Pick what a day of effort looks like — steps, active minutes or calories. Until you get there, those apps don't open. When you get there, they open by themselves, for the rest of the day. No timer to wait out. No "five more minutes." No argument at all, because there's nobody to argue with. Apple Health keeps score, and steps are hard to fake from the sofa. WHY THE LAST ONE STOPPED WORKING Every blocker you've tried left the key in your pocket: a password you chose, a delay you can sit through, a screen you dismiss twice and never see again. It holds for a week — until the one night it doesn't. After that it never holds again. EarnLock puts the key where your 11pm self can't reach it: a few thousand steps away. You can still get in. You just have to briefly become the kind of person who goes outside. That's the whole idea. Not discipline. A price. WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES For the first week, EarnLock blocks nothing. It watches, so you see the real number before you judge yourself by it. Most people are surprised, and not pleasantly. Then the locking starts, and something quiet happens. You head out at 8pm meaning to check one thing, and come back having forgotten. Days stack into a streak. The grid on your Home Screen fills in, square by square, with proof that isn't a feeling. Half-days count too: reach 50% and an hour opens immediately. Effort always buys something. HONEST BY DESIGN Nothing leaves your iPhone. Not a step, not an app you locked, not a streak. No account, no login, no server, no analytics — there is nowhere for it to go. Health data is read-only and stays where it was. The free tier is a real one: one blocked app, real step tracking, your streak and every widget, forever. No trial that bills you on day three. No countdown invented to hurry you. If you upgrade, it's on a day you chose. WHAT'S INSIDE · Lock any app or category with Apple's own Screen Time controls · Earn with steps, active minutes or active calories · Halfway to your goal opens an hour, right now · Separate goals for workdays, evenings and weekends · Rest days you bank by going further — a streak that survives real life · A contribution grid of every day you earned, on your Home Screen · Apple Watch app, Live Activity and a Dynamic Island countdown · One tap to answer "what am I actually looking for right now?" · Siri, Shortcuts and a Control Center button for today's progress · 39 languages, full VoiceOver, text that scales to the largest sizes IF YOU'VE UNINSTALLED ONE OF THESE BEFORE Then you know how it goes: two good weeks, one bad night, gone. That isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when the only thing standing between you and the app is you. Put something real in the way — something you can always get past, on foot. Move first. Scroll later. —— Free forever: one blocked app, steps, streaks and every widget. Premium adds unlimited apps, every activity unit, Apple Watch, Live Activity, Smart Schedules, insights and rest-day shields — monthly, yearly, or one payment for life. Family Sharing included on every paid plan, for up to 6 people. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation.

The best page on your Home Screen has no apps on it. iOS 27 lets a single widget fill an entire Home Screen page on iPhone. We didn't stretch the old layouts to fit. Every EarnLock Home Screen widget was redrawn for the space, so the page you swipe to stops being another grid of apps asking for your time — and starts answering the one question worth asking before you open one: have I earned it yet? NEW — Today & Month A widget that only exists at full page. Today's ring sits on top of this month's calendar, joined at today's square: how far today has to go, and the kind of month you're building, in a single look. FIVE WIDGETS, NOW A FULL PAGE TALL • Today gives the ring room to breathe and puts your last seven days on a ladder — Locked, Partial, Unlocked — so you see the shape of your week before you read a single number. • Streak shows the road to your next milestone — 7, 30, 100, 365 days — with your longest run and banked shields beside it, and the current run circled across 17 weeks. • Contributions folds your whole span into rows across the page, with the days you earned counted on top. • History redraws all three of its views: a real, dated month calendar, a tall 30-day strip with today outlined, and the year as a ring. • Summary sets each number against its yardstick — or lists your last seven days with three earlier weeks folded beneath. WIDGETS THAT TELL THE TRUTH If your iPhone sleeps through midnight without refreshing, your widgets used to carry on showing yesterday as if it were today. Now the Today widgets, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen alike, notice — and say so: "Open the app to catch up." A number you can't trust is worse than no number at all. BETTER EVERYWHERE • Tinted Home Screens: missed days, days still to come and ring tracks now show as distinct shades instead of solid blocks — and the streak flame keeps its amber. • Contributions at medium size no longer cuts off the 3- and 6-month views. • Right-to-left languages: the 30-day strip now runs the same way as its dates. Every widget, every size, the full page included: free, no subscription needed. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Move first. Scroll later. Built by one independent developer who reads every message.
