A tiny story (why RunLock exists)

RunLock started as a simple idea: make the first step easier. Not “run a marathon,” just “put on shoes and go for 10 minutes.” When the goal is small, it’s easier to show up.

So the app treats your phone like a reward. You set a goal, you run, and once you finish, you get that satisfying “complete” moment.

1 Set a goal (time or distance).

2 Start the run (progress animates).

3 Hit 100% and unlock the “complete” screen.
