Your phone is stealing your life four seconds at a time. EarnScroll takes it back. EarnScroll is the screen time app that makes you work for every minute on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and any other app that's quietly rotting your brain. No more mindless unlocks. No more "just five minutes" that turns into two hours. If you want the dopamine, you earn the dopamine. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that waste your time. EarnScroll blocks them. To unlock them, you complete a real-world healthy habit like push-ups, squats, steps walked, or our favorite: going outside and touching actual grass. Finish the challenge, earn minutes, scroll guilt-free. Run out of minutes? Drop and give us twenty. EARN SCREEN TIME WITH - Push-ups, verified by your phone's motion sensors - Squats, same deal, no cheating - Steps, synced with Apple Health or Google Fit - Outdoor time, confirmed by GPS so you actually leave the house - Custom habits like meditation, reading, or water intake BLOCK THE APPS THAT BLOCK YOUR LIFE Lock Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, X, Facebook, Reddit, dating apps, mobile games, anything you wish you used less. EarnScroll enforces the block at the system level. No willpower required. The app physically will not open until you've earned the time. WHY EARN SCROLL IS DIFFERENT Most screen time apps just shame you with a weekly report. Cool, now what? Most app blockers are too easy to bypass. One tap on "ignore limit" and you're back in the hole. EarnScroll is built on a simple trade: your health for your habits. Every minute of scroll time is a minute you invested in your body. You don't quit social media. You earn it. BUILT FOR - Anyone trying to break a phone addiction - Parents who want kids earning screen time instead of inheriting it - Students who need to focus - Gym-goers turning rest days into rep days - Remote workers fighting the Slack-to-Twitter spiral - People who genuinely want to touch grass more FEATURES - Custom exchange rates so you set how many push-ups equal one minute of Instagram - Streak tracking to build momentum and watch your habit chains grow - Daily and weekly stats showing exactly how much you earned versus spent - Hard mode with no rollover minutes, no banking, no mercy - Family mode to set rules for kids that they can't override - Focus sessions for full lockdown during deep work - Habit history to track fitness wins alongside screen time wins THE PHILOSOPHY We're not anti-phone. We're anti-autopilot. The problem isn't that you use Instagram. The problem is that you opened it without deciding to. EarnScroll puts a small, healthy speed bump between you and the infinite scroll. Over time, that speed bump rewires your defaults. You get fitter. You get outside. You get your attention back. And when you do scroll, you actually enjoy it, because you earned it. DOWNLOAD EARNSCROLL AND START EARNING Stop letting algorithms decide how your day goes. Trade reps for minutes. Trade steps for scrolls. Trade grass for the gram. Your future self is watching. Earn your screen time. Earn your life back.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Touch Grass sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and EarnScroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Touch Grass's written reviews are positive against 60% of EarnScroll's.
