FEATURES - Focus sessions: Choose 5, 15, 25, 45, 60, or 90 minutes and block your selected apps for the whole session. - Scheduled routines: Set recurring blocking schedules for work, study, sleep, the gym, or wind down, with custom days and times. - App and website blocking: Block social apps, video apps, games, websites, and more using Apple Screen Time. You decide what gets blocked. - Grow your village: Every finished session adds villagers and unlocks new buildings in your cozy 3D world. - Streaks: Protect a daily streak by completing at least one session each day. - Unlock Challenge: Need to unlock early? Complete a quick real-world task first, like scanning an object, walking 100 steps, or doing a pose challenge. - Progress and insights: Track your focused hours, sessions, and streaks over time. *All of the above features require an active free trial or subscription.* Scroll Survival uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to block apps right on your device.

PushUp Time's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
