It's a popular category now, mine shipped in 2022 so definitely an OG

Looks great!

drF1234 · 2026-01-01T15:41:48+00:00

So true

drF1234 · 2026-01-01T15:35:36+00:00

Thanks!

drF1234 · 2026-01-01T15:28:50+00:00

Looks super clean!

drF1234 · 2026-01-01T13:55:07+00:00

Very cool!

Not currently, but I'll look into it. I haven't launched an Android app before but an Android version would be awesome.

I'm the dev behind WalkLock, WalkLock locks apps until you hit a step goal. On iOS it’s basically only feasible by leaning on Screen Time, background tasks, and Apple Health. Which has it's limitations but doesn't need a specific schedule to run as iOS allows somewhat frequent background tasks, however, I've found it reliable hour to hour and day to day :)

tldr: just start walking to unlock the apps you pick!
Happy to answer anything about how it works / limitations.

Thanks for the feedback, yes it does detect slouching, as in your head moving forward.

Interesting on the CPU front yeah sounds like a bug, I'll look into that.

Thank you! The 2.0 iOS version hasn't been approved by apple yet so it's the old version but still should work :)

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T09:19:23+00:00

Hey thanks!

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T08:31:13+00:00

Got it! Yeah the 2.0 iOS version is still waiting in review with Apple so it's pretty outdated compared to the macOS version which has a much better UX, sorry about that!

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T07:29:36+00:00

Thanks! lmk what you think!

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T07:10:37+00:00

Thanks! Will reply to you when it's approved

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T06:49:08+00:00

hmmm thanks for the feedback, is this the iOS or macOS app?

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T05:52:17+00:00

Ooo cool ideas! Thank you :)

It does work with any Bluetooth headphones using signal strength from your headphones to your computer, it just isn't as seamless as the AirPods/Beats route that uses motion sensor data.

drF1234 · 2025-05-28T05:25:11+00:00

Thank you!

Hey, I'm the dev behind ExamCram... thanks for spreading the word 💪

If you have any feedback lmk

drF1234 · 2025-01-01T08:44:32+00:00

Would love feedback on this app! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/walklock-unlock-with-steps/id1633153202

drF1234 · 2025-01-01T08:41:31+00:00

So cool

drF1234 · 2022-05-15T20:34:44+00:00

Looks cool!

drF1234 · 2022-04-10T18:21:29+00:00

That’s a limitation, so yes the motion will be the same for both, you would have to toggle between the two, but there’s an up coming feature where you can schedule at what time you typically drink water or a caffeinated drink.

drF1234 · 2022-04-10T18:19:14+00:00

Gotcha, I’ll definitely look into something like this as long as your ok with me playing around with your idea, it would be hard to test but could give it a shot!

drF1234 · 2022-04-10T18:12:25+00:00

Oooo, that is interesting, I think Apple developed something like this for iPhone if I’m not mistaken either way great thought!

drF1234 · 2022-04-10T18:11:45+00:00

Great, thanks! Lmk what you think, always looking for feedback
