Earn screen time back with steps, workouts or exercise minutes
Three ways to open a gate, and how to choose.
Pick the goal that fits the hours
Steps for mornings and work hours, when a walk is realistic. Workout minutes for evenings, when the session is the point. Exercise minutes when you move without recording it: the green ring counts every brisk minute.
How a gate holds
Dwar locks the apps you pick, for the hours you pick, with Apple’s Screen Time. The lock screen shows what’s left and two buttons, Check again and Close. The gate opens when you reach the goal, or when the hours end.
Any one, or all of them
A gate can hold several goals. Choose whether any one opens it, or only all of them. A gate on steps and workout minutes with “all” is the strictest day Dwar offers.
Keep it honest
Apple Health counts each day from midnight. Dwar fails closed: a missing reading keeps the gate shut. And Hard mode makes the way out cost something: longer pauses are earned by moving, and switching it off takes a day. It switches off by itself 24 hours after you turn it off.
What about WHOOP?
Connect it and Dwar reads your strain, calories, recovery and sleep, and any of them can be a goal. Strain is the one you can earn during the day: lock apps until you hit your WHOOP strain.
