Your blocked apps open after one 30-second exercise

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.

I built this because every screen-time app I tried had the same hole: the limit is a dialog, and a dialog is one tap away from "ignore" — willpower at the exact moment willpower is gone.
So I replaced the tap with something you cannot fake: 30 seconds of movement. It turns out that is long enough to remember you did not actually want to open the app.
It is a solo project. On iOS the blocking uses Apple's Screen Time API, so there is no account and no server — I could not see your usage data if I wanted to. Android uses usage-access polling with an overlay, which is weaker but the only thing available there.
What I would most like to hear: does 30 seconds feel right, or is it too long for a quick check and too short to matter? Happy to answer anything.
I am using this app for a while. And I am very sattisfied because it reduced at least 50% of the time that I get stucked in the apps . Especially social media and games. Recommended
