How it works

1

You open a blocked app

EyeUnlock intercepts Instagram, TikTok, or whichever apps you choose.

2

Your front camera tracks your eyes through a workout — directional looks and clockwise/counterclockwise circles

It detects your face and follows your gaze in real time.

3

Each rep earns you screen time — the more reps, the more time you unlock

Up, down, left, right, and circles — each finished cycle gives you 1 minute of screentime.

Why I'm building this

"What you don't use, you will lose. I wanted to build something that automatically reminds me to move my eyes regularly throughout the day, so they stay strong."

— Tarek, founder of EyeUnlock
