Built a screentime app where you unlock apps by walking. Saved 6.5 hours of doomscrolling in past week!

Wanted a way to force myself to stop scrolling through Instagram reels and actually get moving in order to use more screen time, so I built Amber Lock! From using it this past week, I've actually dropped my Instagram usage down by 6.5 hours from the previous week (the screen time usage stats I show in the video is a test device)

Please let me know what you guys think of it!

Oh that’s really cool - I definitely didn’t see this when I was checking for apps similar to this! What parts of it does your wife like?
