## What is Earn Screen Time?

Your phone shouldn't be free. Earn it.

Earnit locks the apps that eat your day and keeps them locked until you do something worth doing. Walk. Study. Do push-ups. Every effort turns into minutes you can actually spend.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps you want blocked. They stay shielded by default.
2. Earn minutes — steps from Apple Health, a focused study session, or push-ups counted on device.
3. Spend them in a deliberate 5, 10 or 15 minute session. When it ends, the shield comes back on its own.

WHY IT WORKS WHEN TIMERS DON'T
A timer asks you to stop. Earnit asks you to trade. There's no "15 more minutes" button, no snooze, no talking yourself past it — the only way through the block is effort you actually did. That small friction is the whole product.

WALK TO UNLOCK
Steps come straight from Apple Health. Set a rate that suits you and every walk quietly refills your balance.

STUDY TO UNLOCK
Run a focused study session and bank the time you put in. Built for students who need the phone out of reach until the work is done.

PUSH-UPS TO UNLOCK
Counted on device, no wearable needed. A set of reps when you want minutes back.

SEE WHAT CHANGES
A 30-day journey, a daily ledger and monthly totals show screen time going down and effort going up — without guilt, streak-shaming or red warning screens.

BUILT PRIVATE
Health and motion data stay on your iPhone. Which apps you blocked is never visible to us — iOS keeps that private even from Earnit.

Move first. Scroll later.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-21

Onboarding now includes a hands-on demo: do a real set of push-ups during setup and feel exactly how they unlock your apps. The camera counts your reps — video is never saved or uploaded.

Also in this update: small under-the-hood improvements, and you may now see a quick prompt asking for an App Store rating. If Earnit is helping you, we'd love yours.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-17

Two new ways to earn your minutes: focused study sessions, and push-ups counted right on your iPhone. Walking still works exactly as before.

Push-ups are now hands-free: hold the top of a push-up and the camera starts the set by itself. On-screen guidance is large enough to read from the floor, and a voice coach walks you through positioning, the countdown, and every rep you complete.

Earnit now speaks German, French, Italian, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese, alongside English and Spanish.

Also: a redesigned home that shows only today, and a Progress tab with your 30-day journey and monthly totals.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-15

Earn screen time with push-ups.

• New: Push-ups to Earn. Prop your phone in front of you, pick 5, 10, or 20 reps, and the camera counts them live as you go.
• Selfie framing: the phone stays upright and only needs to see your head, shoulders, and hands.
• The minutes land in the same balance your steps feed — up to 30 extra minutes a day.
• Counting happens entirely on your iPhone. No video, image, or body data is recorded, saved, or uploaded.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-08

Improved subscription setup and stability.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-03

No release notes.
