Show HN: Fitlock – Block apps until you reach your daily fitness/health goals (fitlock.io)

Introducing Fitlock, the privacy-focused app designed to empower users in curbing screen time and enhancing fitness through the utilisation of Apple Health and Screen Time features. Fitlock's innovative approach involves blocking apps and websites until users achieve their daily health and fitness objectives.

Here's how Fitlock operates: users can establish a personalised schedule to block specific apps at chosen times of the day, adjusting the strictness level of the block to suit their preferences. Once the user's schedule is active, the blocked apps remain inaccessible until they successfully meet their health and fitness goals. For instance, a user might set up a schedule to restrict social media apps daily, unlocking them only for 30 minutes each time they reach 2000 steps within the specified timeframe.

Beyond its core functionality, Fitlock boasts additional features like progress tracking over time and a range of strictness levels to cater to diverse user preferences.

It's worth noting that Fitlock is currently exclusive to iOS, but stay tuned as there are plans to develop an Android version in the near future. I'd love to hear your questions/feedback.




Cool idea.


Thanks!
