ExcerLock guides

Make Instagram wait for your walk.

Use an exercise condition to change when you open Instagram.

Block Instagram with ExcerLock

  1. Set up ExcerLock and grant Screen Time permission.
  2. Open Conditions → Edit locked apps. Select Instagram in Apple’s picker.
  3. Add an exercise condition, such as Walk & Scroll or a daily step goal.
  4. Save your condition and check its active schedule. Try Instagram while the condition is unmet to verify the shield.

Blocking access does not delete your Instagram account, posts or messages. An app block is not a guarantee that every browser route to the service is blocked.

Prefer a daily time allowance?

Apple’s built-in App Limits may suit that need. Open Settings → Screen Time → App Limits and follow Apple’s instructions. ExcerLock’s focus is exercise conditions.

Keep the first rule manageable

Choose a realistic condition. Notice whether it helps you move more deliberately before adding more rules.
