SloMo: App Blocker & Fitness
Workout to unlock your apps
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
SloMo is the screen-time blocker that makes you earn your scroll. Lock your most distracting apps behind real exercise — push-ups, squats, pull-ups, steps, or a run — and get them back only when the work is done.
No willpower required. No cheating possible.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps (or whole categories, like Social) to lock using Apple's built-in app picker.
2. Set the price: 20 push-ups, 30 squats, 3,000 steps — or a hard time lock with no workout override.
3. iOS shields your locked apps until you complete the challenge. A shield, not a nag — locked means locked.
VERIFIED WORKOUTS — NO CHEATING
• Camera-verified reps: the front camera watches your movement and counts only full push-ups, squats, and pull-ups. Half reps don't count.
• Live step and distance tracking powered by Apple Motion — watch your count climb as you walk or run.
• Prefer privacy over verification? A manual counting mode is always available.
REAL LOCKS, NOT REMINDERS
SloMo uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to genuinely shield the apps you choose. No "are you sure?" pop-ups you can swipe away — the app stays locked until you've moved your body or the timer runs out.
TWO LOCK MODES
• Workout unlock: complete your chosen exercise to open the app.
• Hard time lock: the app stays closed for the hours you set. No overrides, no negotiating.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Daily streaks to keep you honest
• Lifetime push-ups, squats, pull-ups, steps, and distance
• Hours of screen time saved
• Full workout history — every unlock you've earned
100% PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
• No account. No login. No ads. No analytics.
• Camera frames are analyzed on your device by Apple's Vision framework and are never recorded, stored, or uploaded.
• Apple's Screen Time design means SloMo cannot see which apps you use — your selections stay private to iOS.
• Everything is stored locally. Delete the app, and it's all gone.
MEET SLOMO
Your coach is a sloth. Slow and steady, he doesn't rush — and he doesn't let you skip leg day either. Trade mindless scrolling for real movement, one rep at a time.
Requires iOS 16 or later. Screen Time (Family Controls), Camera, and Motion & Fitness permissions are each optional and used only for the features described above.
