Earn your screen time. Move first, scroll second. Repay is a screen time blocker that turns movement and focused learning into minutes you can spend. Choose the apps and websites that distract you, put them behind Apple Screen Time, then earn your way back in. HOW IT WORKS • Pick apps, categories or websites to shield. • Earn minutes with push-ups, squats, planks, quick math or a focused language lesson. • Bank your reward and open the vault when you are ready. • Your selected apps lock again when your earned time runs out. EFFORT THAT COUNTS Repay uses your iPhone's sensors to help count exercise: on-device camera movement detection for push-ups, camera pose detection for squats, and a flat-surface timer for planks. If a sensor is unavailable, rep-based workouts offer an honor-mode fallback. Prefer a non-exercise option? Solve increasingly challenging math problems for a smaller reward. LEARN LANGUAGES, EARN MINUTES Study Spanish and other languages through guided vocabulary, listening, translation and spaced review. Lessons work offline and only pay out after every question is correct. MAKE THE DEAL YOURS Set an exchange rate from 15 seconds to 10 minutes per rep. Stay under your daily vault spending limit to keep your streak, then review your seven-day chart and transaction history. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your Screen Time choices are handled with Apple's privacy-preserving picker. Workout history and your time balance are stored on your device. Squat video is processed live on device and is never stored or uploaded. REPAY PRO The core loop is free: push-ups and math. Repay Pro adds squats, planks, language lessons and custom exchange rates. It is an optional auto-renewable subscription; choose monthly or annual access and pay through Apple. No account required. No ads. Just a fairer exchange between movement and scrolling.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Repay at none against Interval Timer's shown. Interval Timer's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
