What's New in Activate Fitness

1.0.7

August 13, 2026

1. Easier switching in Active Mode - Jump between Admin Mode and Active Mode right from the dashboard — no PIN required to switch back and forth. 2. New: Work Hours schedule - (For Personal Use Only) - Set hours where your chosen apps stay available — even when your earned screen time runs out. Ideal for work, class, or any time your tools need to stay open. Schedules can now run overnight across midnight, too. 3. Your earned time is protected - If a schedule starts while you're mid-session, your screen time now pauses automatically and saves for later instead of counting down while you can't use it. 4. A smarter widget - The home screen widget now updates on its own the moment a schedule takes effect or your day resets at midnight — no need to open the app. 5. Clearer schedules - Every schedule now shows an at-a-glance badge for when it runs — "Every day," "Weekdays only," or your selected days. 6. Reliability improvements - Fixes across schedules, notifications, and screen time tracking for a smoother, more dependable experience.

User reviews

Great app to limit screen time - better than Apple controls!

We have been part of the testing group for this app. Even with some minor hiccups - we love it! It’s been great for our teen, not only getting steps to earn time, but also to give her bonus time for chores and things. It also locks the apps down better than Apple controls and has less issues! You can tailor it to what apps you want to lock down as well, so if you want your teen to be able to call and message you, you can. We use it mostly for socials and games. We love it!
