Almost every app on your phone is engineered to keep you scrolling. Journey is engineered to get you off it by turning real-world habits into a game you actually want to play. Each morning, you unlock a set of real-world quests like going to the gym, reading, running, or getting outside. Complete them and earn Knight's gold. The apps that waste your time stay locked until you buy more screentime, so you stop instinctively scrolling everytime you pick up your phone. It's the same reward loop that makes games addictive, except now it's working for you instead of against you. - Daily Habits Every morning at 6 AM, your main quest resets. Each one is a real-world habit: exercise, reading, going outside. Earn time on social media by completing it or else you'll stay locked out. - App Blocking Pick the apps that drain your focus and lock them down. Your apps unlock only after you buy more screentime with the gold you earn. - Focus Buddy Your mascot reflects how you're doing. Stay off your phone and it thrives. Pick it up too much and it lets you know. It's a visual reminder that keeps you motivated to do better. *Access to Journey requires a paid subscription* Terms of Service: https://www.brainnourishment.io/_files/ugd/2e1950_ad149e0f2a11466682626871fd073315.pdf

Block apps. Do pushups or squats. Take back control. ScrollFit locks your distracting apps and only unlocks them when you move. Choose pushups or squats—your body, your choice. No cheating. No workarounds. Just results. THE PROBLEM You've tried app timers. You've tried willpower. You've tried deleting apps entirely. Nothing sticks. The apps always win. THE SCROLLFIT DIFFERENCE We don't just limit your screen time—we make you earn it. Want to open Instagram? Do 10 pushups first. Or 15 squats. You pick the exercise, you set the reps. Our AI-powered pose detection counts every rep, so there's no faking it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create Modes — Choose which apps to block (or which to allow—block everything else) 2. Set Schedules — Automatic locks that activate when you need them. Night mode from 11pm-7am. Focus mode on weekdays. You decide. 3. Start Instant Locks — Lock yourself out right now when you need immediate focus 4. Exercise to Unlock — Complete your mission to regain access. Pushups or squats—your choice at unlock time. 5. Need a Quick Break? — The "Take a Break" feature gives you temporary access (1-30 minutes) after a mini workout. Lock resumes automatically. KEY FEATURES Flexible Blocking Modes Create reusable configurations. "Block social media." "Allow only work apps." Mix and match for different situations. Smart Scheduling Set it and forget it. Your phone locks automatically at the times you choose, on the days you choose. Supports overnight schedules that cross midnight. Two Exercise Options Pushups or squats—pick your poison at unlock time. Set different rep counts for each (maybe 10 pushups or 20 squats). Variety keeps it interesting. AI Rep Counting On-device pose detection ensures every rep counts. No internet required. No cheating possible. Progress Stats Track your daily locked time, exercise reps completed, and breaks taken. Watch your fitness add up over the week. Take a Break Life happens. Earn a temporary unlock (1-30 min) with a quick exercise set. Your scheduled lock resumes automatically. PERFECT FOR - Breaking the doomscroll habit - Building daily exercise into your routine - Staying focused during work or study - Creating phone-free evenings - Anyone who's tried other screen time apps and failed NO ESCAPE ROUTES Unlike other apps, ScrollFit has no "skip" button, no emergency unlock code, no way to cheat. You set the rules, and we enforce them. Plan accordingly—if you can't exercise, you can't scroll. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
