Hey Product Hunt 👋 Quick backstory on why this exists: Last year I checked my Screen Time and saw 9 hours. In one day. Mostly TikTok. I did the math: 9hr × 365 days = 3,285 hours = 137 days I was giving TikTok 4.5 months of my life every year. So I deleted it. Felt great for about 3 hours. Then I reinstalled it "just to check one thing." Tried app blockers. Disabled them. Tried Screen Time limits. Tapped "Ignore." Tried willpower. Lasted until I got tired. Everything failed because I could bypass it in under 30 seconds. Then I had a stupid idea: What if I made it physical? Like, what if opening TikTok required actual work? Something I couldn't just tap away? Built the first version in a weekend. Every TikTok open = 10 squats. Phone detects movement automatically. First day I tried to open TikTok 47 times. Did 470 squats. My legs were dead. Second day: 23 times. 230 squats. Still sore. Week later: Maybe 10 times. 100 squats. But also... I just wasn't checking as much? My brain started doing the math automatically. "Is this meme worth 10 squats?" Usually no. 30 days: Screen time down to 2.5 hours/day. 4,200 squats done. Lost 3kg without trying. I wasn't fighting TikTok with willpower anymore. I was just... not opening it. Because squats. Realized this might help other people so I actually finished building it properly. That's Squat Lock. It's not some productivity guru thing. It's literally just "do squats or no TikTok." That's it. Works because TikTok can change their algorithm but they can't make squats easier.
