Move first. Scroll later. Earnlock locks distracting apps until you hit your daily step goal. On-device, private, Family Sharing on every plan.
Your screen time, earned not given.
Earnlock locks Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other distracting apps until you hit a daily movement goal — tracked by Apple Health, verified by your real steps.
Walk first. Scroll later.

HOW EARNLOCK WORKS
Pick the apps you want to lock — social media, video, games, anything distracting. Set a daily activity goal: steps, active minutes, or calories. Until you hit your goal, those apps stay locked. When you hit it, they unlock automatically for the rest of the day.
No willpower needed. No timer to ignore. Apple Health is the judge.

WHAT MAKES EARNLOCK DIFFERENT
Movement is the unlock. Other blockers use timers, friction prompts, or guilt. Those work for an hour, then you bypass them. Earnlock uses your real-world activity — which can't be cheated.
Honest pricing. Every plan includes Family Sharing for up to 6 people.
A free tier that actually works. Lock 1 app, track real steps, see your progress. No 3-day trial that auto-bills, no countdown timers, no dark patterns.
Private by design. Everything runs on your device. Your activity data, your blocked app choices, your streaks — none of it ever leaves your iPhone. No servers, no analytics, no third-party tracking.
