LockFit blocks distracting apps until you complete a quick exercise — push-ups, squats or planks — and tracks locked time, unlocks and effort. Paused is a different shape of app, so this is a comparison rather than a pitch — the table starts with what LockFit does better.
| LockFit | Paused | |
|---|---|---|
| Known for | LockFit blocks distracting apps until you complete a quick exercise — push-ups, squats or planks — and tracks locked time, unlocks and effort. | Block Schedules that switch your chosen apps off at set times and back on afterwards, one-tap Focus sessions for right now, and a streak that counts the days you kept the block. |
| Genuinely better at | Adjustable effort. LockFit lets you set how much exercise each unlock costs and runs solo fitness challenges alongside. | Paused has no unlock to earn during a Block Schedule; the app returns when the schedule ends. |
| Day to day it feels like | Distracting apps stay locked until you have done something else first — exercise, steps, a habit, a task, reading — and you spend what you earned in minutes. | A small, boring wall. You pick the apps, pick the hours, and they stop opening — no coins, no plants, no hardware, no reasons to type. A calm Paused screen where the app used to be. |
…movement before scrolling is the habit you are building.
We would rather you kept an app that fits than switched and quietly turned it off after a fortnight. A blocker you have disabled is not a blocker.
Said up front, because this is the part comparison pages usually leave out.
