Earn your screen time, one pushup at a time. RepBlock puts a pause between reaching for your phone and opening your favorite distractions. Choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to block. When you want access, do pushups to earn app time. HOW IT WORKS • Choose what to block with Apple's Screen Time controls. • Complete a pushup challenge. Your camera counts the reps. • Use your earned minutes right away or save them in your time bank. • When your unlock time ends, your selected apps lock again automatically. MOVE FIRST, SCROLL LATER Make a quick movement break part of your phone routine. Instead of opening an app out of habit, take a moment to decide whether you want to earn time for it. SAVE TIME FOR LATER You don't have to start scrolling as soon as you finish a challenge. Save your earned minutes and use them when you need them. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Keep track of your reps, earned minutes, and daily and weekly progress. Build a routine you can see taking shape. YOUR CAMERA STAYS PRIVATE Pushup detection runs on your device. RepBlock does not record, store, or upload camera photos or videos. SUBSCRIPTION RepBlock is free to download. A subscription is required for full access to app blocking, pushup challenges, automatic relocking, stats, and premium features. Available plans and any trial offer are shown in the app before you subscribe. Choose your distractions. Do the reps. Earn your time.

About

Push2Unlock App Blocker

Read full description

Push2Unlock blocks the apps that steal your time — and makes you earn them back with real exercise. When you try to open a blocked app, you see a lock screen instead of an endless feed. To unlock, do a set of push-ups, squats, or sit-ups in front of your camera. Your iPhone counts every rep on-device using Apple Vision. Finish the set and you get a timed window — 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes — before your apps automatically re-lock. A few minutes of movement for a few minutes of scrolling. That's the deal. WHY PUSH2UNLOCK • Reliable rep counting — angle-based detection with smoothing and anti-cheat. Half reps and hand-waving don't count. • Live form feedback — real-time hints like "Go lower" or "Move back, I can't see your whole body" while you exercise. Most blockers just show a number. • 100% private — all pose detection runs on your device with Apple Vision. No video is ever recorded, saved, or uploaded. No account, no sign-up. FEATURES • Block any app or website using Apple Screen Time • Three exercises: push-ups, squats, and sit-ups • Timed unlock windows: 15 / 30 / 60 / 120 minutes • Blocking Modes — reusable app groups like "Social Media" or "Deep Work" • Schedules — auto-lock at set times and days, including overnight • Live Activity & Dynamic Island countdown of your unlock window • Streaks, daily quests, and stats charts to keep you going • Spoken rep counts and haptic feedback — great when your phone is on the floor • Edit-freeze — locked modes can't be edited away mid-session, so you can't cheat yourself out of a workout HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to block. 2. Set how many reps unlock them. 3. When you reach for a blocked app, do your reps. 4. Earn your screen time. Apps re-lock automatically. PRIVACY FIRST Your camera feed never leaves your iPhone. Pose detection is processed live and discarded frame by frame. There are no accounts and no servers — everything stays on your device. SUBSCRIPTION Push2Unlock offers a 3-day free trial for the annual plan, then $29.99/year. Alternatively, subscribe to our monthly plan for $6.99/month. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later, Screen Time permission, and camera access. Terms of Use: https://push2unlock.xboostapp.io/terms Privacy Policy: https://push2unlock.xboostapp.io/privacy
