## What is GritMode?

Stop doomscrolling before it starts.

GritMode is an action-based app blocker that helps you earn access to distracting apps with quick exercise. When you want to scroll, complete a short set first. GritMode counts your reps in real time with on-device AI and turns your effort into screen time.

Move first. Scroll later.

Instead of deleting your social apps or relying only on willpower, GritMode adds friction at the exact moment of impulse. You still choose when to use your apps — but access is earned, not automatic.

What you can do with GritMode:

Block distracting apps
Earn screen time with exercise
Unlock apps after completing reps
Use push-ups, squats, planks, crunches, jumps, and more
Count reps in real time with on-device AI
Track earned minutes and available balance
Build a simple discipline loop for social media

Built for people who:

Keep opening apps automatically
Want less doomscrolling
Need more focus for work or study
Want to reduce social media distractions
Prefer action over guilt, reminders, or motivation hacks
Want a stronger system for self-control

GritMode is not just another timer. It is action-based blocking: no effort, no scroll.
