Time Recovery locks the apps that eat your day. When you open one, a short bodyweight exercise appears instead of the feed — posture, core, eye rest. Finish it and the app unlocks for a while. No account, no sign-up, no server. Which apps you block and how often you open them never leaves your phone. Phone, messages and maps can never be blocked, so an emergency call is always possible.

Could you build this?

Yes It uses standard Android app-blocking through the accessibility service or usage-access APIs, shows a bodyweight exercise overlay, and unlocks on completion. All of it runs locally with no backend.
