No override. No cheating. You earn it or you wait.

01 — The Problem

Two pains. One answer.

Most people feel both at once — and haven't connected them yet.

"I scroll too much."
  • Mindless phone use as a daily source of guilt
  • Awareness without any real behavior change
  • Tried blockers — felt punitive, uninstalled them
  • Wants friction that actually means something
  • Wonders where the hours went
"I don't live well enough."
  • Knows sleep, movement, and breath matter
  • Tracks health data but habits don't stick
  • Wants a reason to move that isn't abstract
  • The phone is part of the sedentary loop
  • Feels both pains — and that they're connected
Unloc is the first app that makes these the same problem.
Live well and act with intent → earn your phone. One loop. Both pains, one honest answer.
Not just performance. Not just wellness. A system for intentional living. The bridge between them.
02 — The Concept

Earn Your Screen Time.

Turn your positive habits into the only access control that actually changes behavior. No overrides. No cheating.

01
🔥
Live well
Move, sleep, breathe, or focus. Your Apple Watch and iPhone capture your positive habits in real time.
02
0
min earned
Earn credits
Real behavior converts to real minutes. Instantly. Calibrated to you, not a fixed table.
03
Open your apps
Credits unlock your blocked apps. The more you live well, the more access you earn.
03 — The Friction

Lock the Distractions.

Your distractions stay locked. Select which apps you want to use less and keep them out of reach until you earn them.

State 1 — Blocked
The pause.
Dark glass screen. Time already spent shown clearly. Instant earn actions below. No panic — just honest information.
State 2 — Earned
The unlock.
The activity color blooms for 1.2 seconds. The lock opens. "Workout logged. 30 minutes earned." Then gone. No confetti.
State 3 — Running low
The edge.
Under 10 minutes: a faint red-pink bloom. Not alarming — just present. That slight discomfort is intentional.
State 4 — Great week
Invisible.
Strong 7-day HealthKit history — the block barely appears. The best version of Unloc is the one you don't notice.
04 — Earn Sources

Workout. Study. Read. Walk. Unloc.

Choose how you want to earn your time. Your Apple Watch and iPhone capture your positive habits in real time.

Credits are always recalculated from your full day's data — never double-counted. 1 credit = 1 minute. Resets at midnight.

05 — Custom Rules

You Set the Rules.

Define the cost of your screen time. Calibrate the system to your personal goals and baselines. You are in control.

  • Your goal — How much screen time do you want per day? Credits scale so hitting that goal requires real effort, every time.
  • Your baseline — Unloc reads your last 30 days of HealthKit and Screen Time data. Your normal activity level calibrates what "meaningful effort" means for you specifically.
  • Can't be gamed — HealthKit data is system-verified, not self-reported. The system is honest because the data is honest.
Variable 1
Your daily limit goal
45 min / day — a meaningful target
Variable 2
Your personal baseline
7,200 avg steps — calibrated from last 30 days
28 min
earned for hitting your step goal today
06 — Progress

Track your Progress.

See your history and stay mindful of where your time goes. Compare your active hours against your screen time.

01
The pause that matters.
Before the balance, before the actions — one line of context. "You've spent 2h 14m here today." Not accusatory. Just honest. That number alone changes the next five seconds.
02
Your week, honestly.
Every Sunday: hours on blocked apps next to hours of movement, sleep, breath. No judgment — just the picture. The two numbers do all the work.
03
"Is this how you want to spend it?"
Occasionally — not every time — the unlock screen asks one question before granting access. Not a blocker. A mirror. Users say it's the feature they didn't know they needed.
04
The number you can't unsee.
Monthly: "You spent 31 hours on Instagram this month. That's almost a full working week." Same view: workouts, sleep, breathing sessions. The comparison is the content.
The principle
We show. We never nag.
Every reflection moment is factual, not editorial. We never say "you should." We show the numbers and trust people to feel what they feel. That respect is what keeps them.
