1 minute of exercise = 1 minute of screen time. Tempo blocks your distracting apps and turns every minute of effort into screen time to spend.
Running, lifting, walking… Tempo detects your workout via Apple Health or your watch. No manual entry, no cheating.
Every minute of effort credits your screen-time bank. 30 min of running = 30 min of scrolling, cash.
Your blocked apps unlock, the clock runs. Balance at zero? The Shield drops back. Time to lace up.
Tempo doesn't punish you: it wires your urge to scroll to your body. Every block becomes a workout, every workout becomes screen time you chose — not screen time you endure.
The urge to scroll hits ten times a day. With Tempo, that impulse becomes your workout trigger: the most reliable motivation you'll ever have.
A budget earned with sweat gets spent differently: you scroll what you decided, then the Shield drops back. No more 2-hour doom-scroll you never chose.
Native blocking via the Screen Time API. iOS counts real usage and re-locks at zero — even with Tempo closed. It never lets go.
1:1 by default, per-sport rates, steps and calories bonuses. Four profiles — Gentle, Balanced, Athlete, Spartan — set everything in one tap.
Your minute balance on the home screen and lock screen, in scoreboard digits. The score follows you everywhere.
Only measured workouts count: Apple Watch and sport apps. Workouts entered by hand in Health are ignored.
Zero account, zero server, zero tracker. Your blocked apps, your usage and your workouts stay on your phone — Tempo carries the App Store “Data Not Collected” label.
The subscription is managed in the app, via the App Store. No account to create — even your purchase stays between you and Apple.
Automatically, via Apple Health: Apple Watch, Strava or any sport app. Just opening Tempo credits them — “Workout validated (+28 min)” banner. Manually entered workouts are ignored.
Tap the locked app, pick 15, 30 or 45 min — or express unlock straight from the block screen. When it's used up, iOS re-locks on its own, even with Tempo closed.
Then nothing unlocks — that's the deal. But you choose how strict you are: four profiles, from Gentle to Spartan, and a daily cap to stay in control.
Nowhere. No account, no server: blocked apps, usage, health and even your purchase stay between your iPhone and Apple. App Store “Data Not Collected” label.
Tempo is coming to iPhone. Lace up your shoes — your apps will already be locked.
