Your phone. Your rules. BurnToScroll flips the script on screen-time apps. Instead of begging you to put your phone down, it lets you earn the right to use it — one rep at a time. How it works Pick what to block (TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit — anything). Choose a daily exercise goal. When you're out of screen time, your apps lock until you earn more. 1 pushup = 1.5 minutes. 1 squat = 45 seconds. 30 seconds of plank = 3 minutes — and you can tune every rate yourself. The AI camera counts every rep — no manual tapping, no cheating. Why it works Willpower-based blockers fail because they fight your brain. BurnToScroll replaces the dopamine loop. The same hit you got from doomscrolling, you now get from finishing a set. Real movement, real reward. What you get • AI rep counting via on-device pose detection — no cloud, no uploads • Real app blocking through Apple Family Controls — the apps actually lock • Three exercises: pushups, squats, planks • Custom rates: set your own earn rate for each exercise • Streaks, 31 achievements, 15 levels — earn your XP, not just your minutes • Beautiful weekly and monthly progress charts • Shareable workout cards for Instagram, TikTok, X • Works fully offline (we only hit the network for purchases) • No account. No email. No tracking. What's different Most screen-time apps ask you to behave. BurnToScroll makes you sweat. No mindfulness lectures, no shame timers — just a clean trade: move your body, unlock your phone. Try it free 3-day free trial. After that, pick weekly or annual — cancel anytime. Privacy first Your camera never leaves your phone. Pose detection runs entirely on-device. We don't see your video, your face, or your form. We don't have an account system to leak. Built for people who've tried every blocker and lost. Time to earn it instead.

ScreenReps blocks the apps that own your attention until you earn the time back with real movement. Pick the apps that scroll-trap you — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever — then set how many push-ups, squats, or steps unlock a minute. Open a blocked app and you'll see a shield instead of the feed. Knock out the reps and your earned minutes bank automatically, ready to spend whenever you want. HOW UNLOCKING WORKS When you're ready for a break, spend your banked minutes to unlock your apps for a set window — 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The countdown runs, and when it's up, the shield comes back automatically. Done early? Lock up and the unused minutes go straight back to your bank. Your effort is never wasted. THREE WAYS TO EARN • Camera + on-device AI verifies your form for push-ups, squats, planks, and more — no cheating, no honor-system timers • Apple Health pulls your steps, flights climbed, and swim strokes automatically • Pin your gym; checking in unlocks bonus minutes when you actually show up WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PRO Free: walking, squats, push-ups, planks, custom ratios, daily streak, and app blocking with no limit on how many apps you block. Pro ($9.99/mo or $49.99/yr with a 3-day free trial): all exercises, weekly schedules, gym check-ins, schedules, strict lock, bank unused minutes forever, and monthly and yearly stats. PRIVACY FIRST Your health and location data stay on your device. We don't sell or share anything. No accounts. No ads. Stop scrolling. Start moving.
