How SweatKey works
Everything you need at a glance.
Move, Earn, and Unlock connect movement, time credit, and protected apps in one clear overview.
Training
Train. Earn. Unlock.
SweatKey recognizes supported exercises with the camera and local pose processing. Movement can generate time credit according to the active reward rules.
App Protection
You decide which apps wait.
Free allows up to two individual protected apps. Pro can use more apps as well as categories and websites within the capabilities of iOS.
Rewards
Choose what your movement earns.
Reward rules define how supported movement turns into time credit. The rules remain clear and adjustable.
Time Balance and rules
Stay in control of your time.
Daily Allowance, limits, rollover, and Time Bank give your time a clear structure without repeating every detail from the app view.
Progress
See what you’ve earned.
The progress view shows history, average, earned time, and the sources visible in the app.
Streak
Keep your streak going.
Your streak makes consistent movement visible at a glance.
Free and Pro
Unlock even more with SweatKey Pro.
Free remains the core product with up to two individual protected apps. Pro unlocks only with a valid StoreKit entitlement and extends rules, apps, categories, websites, and progress.
Privacy
Your data stays with you.
No user account is planned for the core function. You can find the confirmed information about local storage, camera use, and app data in the privacy notices.
01
How SweatKey works
SweatKey connects three steps: move, earn time credit, and use protected apps intentionally. The app supports a clear routine instead of a blanket block.
Protected apps are managed through Apple Screen Time frameworks. Their behaviour can vary in individual iOS situations for technical reasons.
02
Move, Earn, Unlock
Movement can generate time credit. The credit appears in Time Balance and can be used for protected apps according to your own rules.
Free includes steps and push ups. Pro extends the selection to all supported exercises and custom reward rules.
03
Steps, workouts, and progress
In version 1, SweatKey processes steps through Motion and Fitness. Supported workouts can be captured with the camera and local body pose recognition. Progress indicators and charts help keep time credit, movement, and rules in view.
Step, repetition, and movement detection can vary for technical reasons. SweatKey is not a medical app and does not replace medical advice.
04
App Protection and Time Balance
The selection of protected apps uses Apple FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity. SweatKey processes the selection tokens provided by Apple for this function.
Pro offers more protected apps within Apple limits, categories, and websites. Rollover, Time Bank, extended limits, rules, and additional challenges are also planned.
05
Privacy first
No user account or custom backend account is planned for the core function. Configuration, progress, rules, challenges, and wallet state can be stored locally on the device.
SweatKey uses no app analytics, advertising, or advertising tracking. Camera and local pose processing take place on device. Workout videos are not stored by default.
06
Free and Pro
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.
Pro unlocks exclusively through a verified active StoreKit entitlement. When it expires or is revoked, the app returns to Free. Local user data is not deleted during that change.
