SweatKey connects movement with intentional screen time. Here you can find help with permissions, progress, protected apps, and Pro.
How does Screen Time permission work?
SweatKey uses Apple FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity for protected apps. Grant permission only when you want to use this function. Behaviour can vary in individual iOS situations for technical reasons.
Why does SweatKey need Motion and Fitness?
In version 1, SweatKey processes steps through Motion and Fitness so progress and time credit can be calculated.
What is the camera used for?
Supported workouts can use the camera and local body pose recognition. Workout videos are not stored by default.
What applies to photos, recordings, and audio?
An optional workout recording can be available in Pro. It remains local until you choose to save it to Photos. Audio can only be used when you enable it for a recording.
Why are my protected apps not controlled as expected?
Check Screen Time permission and the selected rules. The functions use Apple frameworks and can show technical variation.
Why are steps not updating?
Check Motion and Fitness permission and whether the iPhone can capture movement data. Step values can vary for technical reasons.
Why is a workout not recognized?
Check camera permission, sufficient light, and whether the supported exercise can be captured visibly. Repetitions can vary for technical reasons.
How do purchase and restore work?
Pro unlocks through a verified active StoreKit entitlement. To restore, use the restore function in the app and contact Apple Support if needed.
What happens when Pro ends?
When Pro expires or is revoked, Pro functions are locked and the app returns to Free. Your local data remains available.
What does Free include?
Free protects up to two individual apps. Categories and websites are not included. Steps, push ups, basic progress, and the available Free functions remain usable.
