Tempo

About

Tempo prevents access to selected applications such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and games, allowing them to be unlocked solely with minutes earned from actual movement. Physical activity from Apple Health or Health Connect, like workouts and steps, builds a balance of screen time based on your chosen exchange rate. When your balance is positive, every blocked app becomes accessible; if it drops to zero, iOS locks them once more, even when Tempo is not running. There are no override options, no emergency bypass, and no unlock codes. The service requires no account, uses no servers, and collects no analytics. It is available free of charge for both iPhone and Android devices.
