Your phone is locked. Your body is the key. PushStop blocks the apps stealing your time ā social media, video feeds, whatever's eating your day ā and locks them until you earn your way back in with real, camera-verified exercise. HOW IT WORKS ⢠Pick the apps you want blocked ⢠Do push-ups, squats, or sit-ups in front of your camera ⢠Every verified rep earns you screen time ⢠Apps unlock automatically ā no codes, no waiting, no cheating REAL AI, NOT AN HONOR SYSTEM Unlike basic trackers that just count screen taps or trust a proximity sensor, PushStop uses real on-device computer vision to track your joints in real time. It knows the difference between a real rep and a fake one. Shallow reps, rushed reps, and bad form don't count. 100% ON-DEVICE. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE. Your camera never records or uploads anything. All tracking happens locally, in real time, using Apple's own on-device AI frameworks. THREE WAYS TO EARN Push-ups, squats, or sit-ups ā pick what works for your body. Harder movements earn more screen time per rep. Built for people who've tried willpower alone and it didn't work. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
