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.

Stop rotting. Start growing. Most screen time apps just lock doors. RotStop helps you earn the key. Reclaim your focus, repair your dopamine levels, and turn your recovery into a high-stakes game. RotStop is the first system-level monitor that treats the cause of doom-scrolling, not just the symptom. Watch your Brain flourish in real-time as you choose growth over the scroll. Whether you’re fighting a social media habit or seeking deep work, RotStop provides the visual nudge and hard friction you need to stay in control. WHY ROTSTOP WORKS: Most blockers are easy to ignore. RotStop gamifies your focus by introducing a "Credit Economy." Want to scroll? It’ll cost you. Out of credits? You’ll have to earn them through real-world productive habits. Save hours of wasted time, eliminate brain fog, and finally finish what you start. WHAT YOU GET: The Brain Score: A live 0-100 score that tracks your mental clarity. Watch your avatar evolve from "Rotted" to "Thriving" based on your daily habits. The Credit Economy: Earn "Brain Credits" by logging offline activities like meditation, deep work, or reading. Spend them to unlock your distractions. The Gauntlet Unlock: A mandatory friction window that forces you to "think twice" before unblocking apps. No more mindless clicking. App Shields: Instantly block social media, games, and full app categories with zero workarounds. Performance History: Track your weekly brain health with our high-fidelity reports. See your "Peak Days" and total hours saved from the void. PRIVATE & SECURE: Privacy is our core. RotStop uses Apple’s official Screen Time API.

We don't want your data; we want your focus. *All app features, including app blocking and screen time tracking, require an active paid subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ScrollFit at free against RotStop's subscription. ScrollFit also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 9) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). RotStop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
