# CounterWait

> Earn access to distracting apps through movement and tasks

CounterWait links access to selected iPhone apps with exercise and completed tasks. Users choose distracting apps to lock, then earn minutes through supported workouts, activity from Apple Health, or chores approved by a parent or accountability partner. Earned time can be spent when needed, with the apps locking again after it runs out.

The public beta supports individual use and family rules through Apple's Screen Time system. Camera-based exercise counting happens on the phone without recording or sending video, according to the developer. Parents can approve tasks and adjust the rules, giving children a defined way to earn additional screen time through agreed activities.
