Get off the couch, or stay locked out.
GymGate locks Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube while you're home on gym days. The only way back in? Actually leave for the gym. Your GPS has to prove it.
Three taps to set the trap.
Set it once. After that, GymGate does the nagging so you don't have to.
Set your schedule
Pick your gym days and a rough time window, then choose exactly which apps get locked.
Apps lock on cue
When your window opens, your distractions go dark. The couch just lost its best weapon.
GPS lets you back in
Cross your home radius and apps unlock. Want them sealed until you reach the gym? Do that too.
The gate opens the second you do.
No buttons to cheat, no "just five more minutes." Your apps come back when your phone confirms you're actually on your way. Tap the gate to see it.
Earn your scroll, one set at a time.
Going cold turkey at the gym is a fantasy. So GymGate hands it back in controlled bursts: a rest timer that doubles as your app gate.
- Unlock a 2-minute window between sets, or set your own.
- When the timer runs out, your apps lock again automatically.
- Every second on your phone gets tracked and shown in your stats.
Compete with everyone who showed up.
Every session is logged and ranked. Build a streak, climb the board, and let a little public pressure do the heavy lifting.
- Log exercises, sets, reps and PRs in seconds.
- Weekly & all-time rankings by streak, sessions or PRs.
- Start a private squad and settle it among friends.

Yes. GymGate blocks the apps you choose while you're home on gym days. They stay locked until GPS confirms you've left for the gym, so there's no timer to start and no willpower required. Phone, maps, and music keep working the whole time. GymGate is available now on iOS. Android is on the way.
It uses Apple's Screen Time permissions (and Usage Access on Android) to block only the apps you choose, only during your gym window. Everything else (calls, maps, music) keeps working exactly as normal.
You can, but your streak dies and the whole leaderboard sees it. The friction plus the public stakes are the entire point. Most people find it's easier to just leave for the gym.
No. GymGate uses low-power geofencing. It waits for you to cross your home radius rather than polling your location non-stop, the same efficient tech your weather and reminders apps use.
Only the social apps you pick are ever gated. Phone, messages, maps, and everything else stay fully open, always. GymGate locks distractions, never the essentials.
GymGate is live on iOS right now, so you can download it free from the App Store today. Android is on the way. Follow @usegymgate and we'll announce the day it lands.
GymGate is free to download. Pro is $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year, both with a 3-day free trial. Prefer to pay once? Lifetime is a single $29.99 payment with no subscription, ever.
