Scroll Patrol puts the apps you lose hours to behind a workout. Pick the apps that pull you in. They stay locked until you have minutes to spend on them — and the only way to get minutes is to move. EARN TIME WITH YOUR BODY Push-ups, squats, jumping jacks and planks are counted by your camera, automatically, while you move. Prop your phone up, start a set, and watch the count climb. No wearable, no manual logging, no honour system. Prefer to walk? Scroll Patrol reads your steps and distance from Apple Health and turns them into minutes too. That happens in the background — no workout to start. SPEND IT WHERE IT MATTERS Earned minutes go into one balance. You decide which app gets them. Give Instagram fifteen minutes, keep the rest for later, or spend the lot in one go. SEE WHAT'S LEFT Every patrolled app shows how much time it has remaining, and warns you a minute before it locks. Adding time tops up what is already there rather than starting over. WHEN TIME RUNS OUT The app locks. Open Scroll Patrol, earn more, and allocate it. Everything resets at midnight, so each day starts honest. BUILT TO STAY ON YOUR PHONE There is no account, no sign-up and no server. Camera frames are analysed on device and never recorded, saved or sent anywhere. Your exercise history, your Health data and your app choices stay on your phone. We have nothing to sell because we collect nothing. Scroll Patrol uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls APIs to lock apps, and Apple Health to read steps and walking distance. Both require your permission, and both can be turned off at any time.
