Stop scrolling. Start moving. Exerscroll is the screen time control app that makes you earn every minute of phone time with real movement. Push-ups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks — reps unlock minutes. No willpower required. You know the feeling. You picked up your phone for one quick thing and twenty minutes vanished into TikTok, Instagram, or Reels. Doomscrolling won. Again. Exerscroll changes the trade. Want to open a distracting app? Move first. The friction is the point — and so is the fitness. How Exerscroll works • Pick the apps that steal your time • Lock them behind exercise with Screen Time controls • Bank minutes by doing push-ups, squats, lunges, or jumping jacks • Unlock only what you've earned • Watch your reps, streaks, and saved minutes climb Why Exerscroll beats a basic blocker A timer can be dismissed. Willpower runs out by noon. Exerscroll adds the one thing every other screen time app is missing — a real cost. You don't just lock the app, you have to earn it back. So either you scroll less, or you get fitter. Both work. Features • Exercise-based app unlocks: push-ups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks (more coming) • Smart blocker for social media and any app you choose • Reps-to-minutes conversion you control • Progress tracking: minutes earned, streaks, milestones • Gamified levels and badges to keep momentum • Works with iOS Screen Time controls Built for people who want to • Quit doomscrolling and brainrot • Cut TikTok, Instagram, and Reels down to size • Beat phone addiction • Build focus and self-control • Start a dopamine detox • Live the "dumb phone" mindset without ditching the smartphone • Replace wasted time with movement • Be present, not scrolling past it Whether you struggle with social media addiction, procrastination, or just want better screen time control, Exerscroll turns the time you'd waste into time you'd earn. Your life should be spent living. Not scrolling past it. An active subscription is required to access all Exerscroll features.
