Your physical escape

Your computer locks at the time you set.
Moving your body unlocks it.

CtrlAltMove is a commitment device across your phone and your computers. Set a deadline — 6:30 AM before work takes over your day, or 9:00 PM after it. If you haven't moved when it arrives, every screen goes dark — until your phone verifies real exercise and hands back the key.

Phone app blockers ask you to resist a tap. Nobody else locks your laptop until you've moved.

Site blockers run on the honor system, and your thumb knows every override. CtrlAltMove is different because the phone and the computer hold each other honest: the phone senses real movement, the computer holds the door. The phone is the key. Your screens are the stakes.

How it works

Three moves, no willpower required

01 · SET A DEADLINE

Pick the time your screens go dark

Choose the deadline and the rule that clears it — a step count, a gym visit, a heart-rate session, or a pace. Pair the computers you want on the line.

02 · MOVE YOUR BODY

Your phone verifies it, on the phone

Movement is read from Apple Health, Health Connect, your gym's location, or a heart-rate sensor — and judged on the device. The readings never leave it.

03 · EARN THE KEY

Screens come back on your terms

Meet the rule and your phone issues an unlock code bound to that deadline and that computer. Miss it, and the lock simply holds until you've had your escape.

Built to fail open

An app that can lock your screens has to earn the right

These aren't features. They're the rules the whole product is built under, and none of them can be traded away.

It fails open, everywhere

A crash, a dead sensor, a denied permission, or an unreachable server means no lock — never a stuck one. The failure mode is always your freedom.

A way out, always on the lock screen

Enter your code, wait it out, defer to tomorrow, or spend an emergency unlock from your budget. Never hidden behind a menu, a scroll, or an animation.

Safety is never paywalled

Escape hatches, emergency unlocks, and the respite hour are free forever, on every plan. A lapsed subscription never locks you harder.

One unlocked hour, guaranteed

Every rolling 12-hour window keeps at least one continuous unlocked hour, no matter how ambitious your schedule gets.

Your movement evidence — location, heart rate, steps, pace — is judged on your phone and never uploaded. Read the privacy policy
