About Aqua Lock

AquaLock is an iPhone app that ties hydration to screen time. Instead of only reminding users to drink, it blocks the apps they tend to waste time on, such as social media, video and games, until they log their water intake and confirm it with a photo of the drink.

Users set a daily water goal calculated from weight, activity level and lifestyle, choose which apps are locked until the goal's milestone is reached and photograph a drink so the AI can verify it. App locking relies on Apple's Screen Time framework. The interface is described as minimal, and a free trial is included.

AquaLock is distributed through the App Store as a free download with in-app purchases, published by an individual developer. It suits people who want a stronger nudge than a notification to build a water-drinking habit.
