About

Features

TIKTOK. INSTAGRAM. REDDIT. LOCKED. Until you move. PouchFit gates your most distracting apps behind a short micro-workout or micro-exercises. Do 5, 10, or 15 minutes of movement while you unlock the apps, then keep using them WHILE you keep moving. Scroll your feed during a wall sit. Watch your shows during calf raises. Turn the apps that drain you into the apps that train you. — THE TRADE — You want to scroll. Your body wants to move. PouchFit makes both happen at the same time. Pick the apps you want to gate: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, whatever drains you. When you try to open one, PouchFit asks for a 5, 10, or 15-minute workout first. Start the routine. Your apps unlock the moment you begin. Scroll while you squat, march, lunge, or stretch. Finish the session, keep the access. No willpower. No guilt. Just a fair exchange. — FOUR WAYS TO MOVE — SITTING: Seated leg lifts, calf raises, twists, and core work for the chronically chair-bound. Phone-in-hand friendly, keep scrolling the whole time. STANDING: Marches, squats, lunges, and standing stretches. Most are still scroll-friendly: phone in one hand, body in motion. FLOOR: Planks, mobility flows, glute bridges, and stretches. Phone propped or set aside, pure focus mode. AT A WALL: Wall sits, wall push-ups, wall stretches. Lean in and let the wall do half the work. Every session groups exercises into a single position to kill awkward transitions, no jumping from a wall sit to a push-up to a standing march. Smooth flows that respect your space and your time. — FEATURES — • Block the apps you can't stop opening: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X, anything you choose • Unlock with a 5, 10, or 15-minute micro-workout. You pick the length • 26 exercises split between 3 positions: sitting, standing, and on the floor • Position-grouped routines with built-in 5-second rests between moves • Daily 22-minute movement goal aligned with WHO activity guidelines • Live Activities: track your session from the Dynamic Island and lock screen • Powered by Apple's Screen Time framework, your data never leaves your device • A warm, one-handed interface built for the way you actually use your phone • No gym. No gear. No streak-shaming. — WHO IT'S FOR — • People who open Instagram, blink, and lose 40 minutes • Doomscrollers tired of feeling like their phone owns them • Desk workers welded to a chair all day • Parents who can't realistically get to a gym • Anyone who's tried screen-time blockers and bypassed them in three days • Anyone who's bounced off 45-minute workout apps • Beginners who want a low-stakes way back into movement — OUR PHILOSOPHY — Willpower is a terrible long-term strategy. Streak-shaming is worse. PouchFit doesn't try to take your phone away, it just makes you earn it, then rewards you with your scroll time. Small, sustainable movement beats heroic workouts you'll never do. A pouch a day adds up. Meet your potato. Move with your potato. Become a slightly less potato-shaped potato.
