Field notes
ActionLock places a workout checkpoint in front of selected apps: users choose a distraction, complete counted repetitions, and receive a configurable access window. The page lists push-ups, squats, and sit-ups, with unlock periods ranging from 15 to 120 minutes. It also describes an XP layer with levels, quests, badges, and skins, while stating that camera-based pose detection remains on the device and footage is not uploaded.
