Works with WHOOP
The app blocker that reads your WHOOP
Pick the apps you lose time to and a goal from your WHOOP. They stay shut until your strain, recovery, sleep or calories get there.
Dwar is an iPhone app. Connect your WHOOP and a gate can wait for any of four scores WHOOP already keeps. Until you reach the goal, the apps you picked show Apple’s Screen Time shield, which says what’s left, “1.8 strain to go”, credited “Data by WHOOP”.
Four goals from your WHOOP
- Strain, from 4 to 21 in halves. It keeps climbing through the day, so it suits an evening gate.
- Recovery, from 10% to 100%. Scored once, when you wake.
- Sleep, from 30% to 100%. Also scored when you wake, so a gate on it is settled by morning.
- Calories, from 500 to 4,000, counted over the same WHOOP cycle as strain.
A gate can also wait for Apple Health: steps, walking and running distance, a workout, exercise minutes, active calories, stand hours, daylight or your Activity rings. Add more than one goal and choose whether any one opens the gate, or it takes them all.
How Dwar reads your WHOOP
You sign in on WHOOP’s own page and allow Dwar to read your cycles, recovery and sleep. From those it takes four figures: strain, calories, recovery and sleep. It never reads your profile, body measurements, workouts or history.
With Dwar closed, it checks in the background about every sixteen minutes, so the apps open a little after your score gets there. Opening Dwar checks at once. A WHOOP reading more than six hours old keeps the gate shut until a fresh one arrives.
Dwar keeps only the latest reading, on your phone. There is no account and no Dwar server. Disconnect WHOOP on You and Dwar asks WHOOP to revoke its access, then deletes your WHOOP sign-in and that reading.
Setting it up step by step: lock apps until you hit your WHOOP strain.
Questions
Do I need a WHOOP membership?
For WHOOP goals, yes. Without one, Dwar runs on Apple Health, with an iPhone alone for steps and distance, or with an Apple Watch for most of the rest.
Does strain reset at midnight?
No. Strain counts your current WHOOP cycle, which runs from one sleep to the next.
What does it cost?
One gate is free, with up to five apps and every goal, WHOOP’s included. Dwar Pro holds as many gates as you build.
Is Dwar made by WHOOP?
No. Dwar is an independent app by one developer. It reads your scores through WHOOP’s developer API, with your permission.
