Welcome to PushFocus - Push Up App Blocker, which helps you to block the apps that eat your day, stop doomscrolling, beat phone addiction, focus while studying, sleep earlier, and make more time for what matters. It allows you to block distracting social media and other apps that waste your time, then unlock them with real reps: push-ups, squats, planks, or jumping jacks. All blocked apps remain blocked until you complete the required exercise. The camera counts your reps automatically, and every rep banks minutes you can spend whenever you choose.
