LOCKD is an iOS app that helps you stop doomscrolling by making screen time something you earn. Choose the apps you want to limit, do push-ups to earn screen time, and spend those minutes whenever you want. 1 push-up = 1 minute of access. Instead of relying on willpower or another boring screen-time limit, LOCKD adds real friction between you and distracting apps, turning every urge to scroll into an opportunity to move. Less mindless scrolling. More movement. More control over your time.

Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and push-up counter using Apple Vision framework are straightforward, integrating with Apple's restricted Screen Time (Family Controls / DeviceActivity / ManagedSettings) APIs requires strict entitlements and specialized platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires an iOS Swift app using Apple's Vision framework (VNDetectHumanBodyPoseRequest) for real-time push-up repetition tracking. The hard part is navigating Apple's heavily restricted FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks, which require special developer entitlements from Apple, Shield extensions, and strict sandboxed daemon lifecycle management to reliably block and unblock apps.
