Move first. Unlock later. Motivate shields your chosen apps until your daily exercise goal is complete, helping you stay intentional without sacrificing privacy.
Turn your daily movement into a simple, visible commitment.
Pick an exercise goal in minutes and let Apple Exercise Time be the signal that unlocks your day.
Choose specific apps, app categories, or web domains with Apple Screen Time controls and shield them until you hit your goal.
Motivation resets at midnight, so your plan is always current and your progress always visible.
Skip Today gives you a low-friction option for a lighter day without changing your long-term setup.
See your exercise minutes, remaining time, unlock status, and recent history in one place.
Your settings, selected app tokens, progress, and history stay on your device and are not uploaded to a server.

Motivate reads your Apple Exercise Time to determine if your daily goal has been reached, and it uses Screen Time authorization to manage shields for the apps you choose.
Motivate stores its configuration, daily progress, and history locally using Apple-supported app storage and the shared app group between the app and its extensions.
