## What is Motive?

You open a distracting app to check one thing. Half an hour disappears.

Deleting apps doesn’t last. Easy-to-ignore limits are still easy to ignore. Motive gives distracting apps a cost: movement.

Choose the apps that steal your time. When you want access, complete an exercise. Motive counts each rep with your iPhone’s camera, converts your reps into minutes, and banks those minutes for later.
