[How to get the update](#how-to-get-the-update) Fitlock 1.9 came out on the App Store on 30 October 2026. It adds Insights, which shows your screen time beside your movement, a weekly story every Monday, streaks and holidays for every schedule, step goals that count your iPhone’s latest steps straight away, and camera reps counted wherever you put your phone. Fitlock is an iPhone app that locks the apps you choose until you’ve moved. You pick the apps, set a goal such as 8,000 steps or 20 push-ups, and they open when you’ve done it. Here’s what’s changed, what’s free, and what each feature can’t do. ## What’s new in Fitlock 1.9 at a glance | Feature | What it does | Free plan | Fitlock Pro | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Insights | Screen time beside movement, by day, week or month | This week and last, current numbers | Any period, Month view, comparisons | | Screen time tracking | Keeps your total screen time for good | Included, with your numbers | Adds your percentage change since joining | | Weekly story | A recap every Monday, with a card to share | Totals slides | All slides | | Streaks | Each schedule keeps a streak, with milestones | Included | Included | | Holidays | A day off that doesn’t break your streak | Up to 2 a month | Up to 3 a week, 10 a month or 30 a year | | Faster step goals | Counts your iPhone’s latest steps straight away | Included | Included | | Reps from any angle | Push-ups and squats, wherever your phone is | Included | Included | | Other-device notice | Warns when other devices may be inflating your time | Included | Included | Fitlock needs iOS 17 or later. Full plan details are on the [pricing page](https://fitlock.io/pricing/), and common questions are on the [FAQ](https://fitlock.io/faq/). ## Insights: see your screen time beside your movement Insights replaces the old Stats tab. It’s one scrolling screen with your screen time and your movement side by side, and with Fitlock Pro, a sentence at the top telling you what changed. Below that, you’ll find your most-used apps, the time you’ve earned by moving, your steps and workouts, and patterns Fitlock has noticed, such as the day you tend to move most. Movement comes from Apple Health and your camera workouts, and because Health keeps years of history, Pro can show you how you moved before you installed Fitlock. ![Fitlock’s Insights screen comparing last week’s screen time and steps with the week before](https://fitlock.io/_astro/figure-1.CGsYNd6w_Z14zFpe.webp) Insights with Fitlock Pro, comparing your screen time and steps. Sample data. It won’t tell you that moving more always means less screen time, because [the evidence on that is mixed](https://fitlock.io/blog/iphone-screen-time-history/). It does show you whether it’s true for you. ## Keep your screen time history for good Apple doesn’t publish how long iPhone Screen Time keeps your history, and [an Apple engineer has said](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/718683) apps can read up to a month of it. To go further, turn on screen time tracking in Insights and choose All Apps & Categories once. Fitlock only counts these apps and doesn’t block them. The limit is that it starts from the day you turn it on, so it can’t bring back earlier weeks. Our guide on [how far back iPhone Screen Time goes](https://fitlock.io/blog/iphone-screen-time-history/) covers this in full. ## A weekly story every Monday Each Monday, a notification tells you “Your week is ready”. It opens a short set of slides on what you earned by moving, the goals you met, your steps, your camera workouts and your screen time. The last one is a recap card you can share. ![Fitlock’s weekly recap card, with screen time earned by moving, goals met, camera workouts, exercise time and a streak](https://fitlock.io/_astro/figure-2.D7hu3oPU_Z1Gw6MU.webp) The recap card at the end of your weekly story. Sample data. If there’s no data for something, that slide drops out, so you won’t see a row of zeros in a quiet week. You can turn the notification off if you’d rather not get it. ## Streaks for every schedule Each schedule now keeps its own streak, and every day it runs adds to the count. You get a small celebration at milestones from 3 days up to 365, and every hundred after that. Your streak also appears on the screen you see when an app is blocked. Days a schedule isn’t set to run neither add to a streak nor break it. Switching a schedule off, deleting it or making it easier does break it, and Fitlock warns you first. If Pro lapses, your streak pauses for 30 days rather than breaking. Streaks are only a record, so they never change what’s blocked. ## Holidays: a day off that keeps your streak A holiday rests one schedule for a day. It blocks nothing and asks for no goals, and your streak stays as it was. You choose your allowance in the schedule’s settings. You can take today off or plan ahead on a calendar, and future holidays can be cancelled until they start. We wrote up the research behind this in [how to take a rest day without losing your streak](https://fitlock.io/blog/rest-day-without-losing-streak/), including a walking study where people with a few emergency skips walked about 1,000 more steps a day. ![Fitlock’s Holidays screen, with a Take today off button and a calendar of November](https://fitlock.io/_astro/figure-3.GJE2TSf7_ZUjrSf.webp) Booking a holiday. Sample data. ## Step goals that keep up Apple limits [how often apps get step updates in the background](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/hkhealthstore/enablebackgrounddelivery\(for:frequency:withcompletion:\)) to about once an hour. So you could finish a walk and still find your apps locked. Now, Fitlock reads your iPhone’s own motion data alongside Apple Health, and uses whichever is higher, whenever it checks your goal. Apple Watch steps still have to sync to your iPhone first, and Fitlock can’t read Health while your phone’s locked. If your count is behind anywhere, [why your iPhone steps aren’t updating](https://fitlock.io/blog/iphone-steps-not-updating/) has the fixes. ## Reps counted wherever you put your phone We reworked how Fitlock counts push-ups and squats, so it’s no longer tied to one fixed camera position. A camera still has to see you, so keep your whole body in frame. A diagonal view is a good place to start, for reasons we cover in [where to put your phone for a push-up counter](https://fitlock.io/blog/where-to-put-phone-push-up-counter/). ## A warning when other devices inflate your time With [Share Across Devices](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/set-up-screen-time-for-yourself-iphbfa595995/ios) on, Screen Time can add your iPad or Mac to what Fitlock sees, so an allowance can run out early. Apple doesn’t let apps read that setting, so Fitlock looks for signs of it, such as usage growing while your iPhone is locked. If it spots them on more than one recent day, a note on your schedule offers a short fix. [Why your iPhone Screen Time is so high](https://fitlock.io/blog/iphone-screen-time-too-high/) explains the setting and the trade-off. ## Smaller fixes The padlock on your schedule now springs open when you’ve earned your time, distances always appear in the units you’ve chosen, and widgets, the location picker and the camera are more reliable. ## How to get the update If you already have Fitlock, update it from the App Store. If you don’t, it’s free to download, and you can start with one schedule and up to two apps or websites. You don’t need an Apple Watch, because your iPhone counts your steps and your camera counts your reps. Curious how we compare with other apps?
