Lock. Run. Unlock.
Apps stay locked until you walk.
Pick the apps that steal your hours. Set a daily step goal. They stay locked until Apple Health confirms you've hit it. At midnight everything re-locks.
How Runlock works
Pick Which Apps to Lock
Choose the apps that steal your hours — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, games. They stay locked until you walk.
Live Progress, Verified by Apple Health
Your real step count from HealthKit fills the ring. Apps unlock the moment you hit the daily goal — no shortcuts, no fake taps.
Challenge Friends to Walk With You
Send a step challenge, share a Strava-style card, race up the leaderboard. Movement is contagious.
Set Your Own Pace
Tap 3K, 5K, 8K, or 10K — or slide for a custom number. About 50 minutes of walking for 5,000 steps.
Why Runlock works
Simple accountability that builds real habits
Steps Can't Be Faked
Runlock verifies your steps through HealthKit — no cheating, no workarounds. You have to actually walk to unlock your apps.
Builds a Daily Walking Habit
Every time you reach for Instagram or TikTok, you're reminded to walk first. Over time, walking becomes automatic.
Less Screen Time, More Life
Users report spending significantly less time on social media. When you earn your screen time, you value it more.
