Outloop turns scrolling from a reflex into a choice. Most screen-time apps just block your apps and leave you fighting willpower. Outloop flips it: your favourite apps stay locked, and you unlock scroll time by doing something good for yourself first. A minute of breathing. A short walk. A few push-ups. Do the healthy thing, earn the scroll — and most days you'll find you don't even want it anymore. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps that pull you in. Outloop shields them. - Out of free time? Earn more with a real action — breathing, reading, meditation, steps, or push-ups. No fake "I did it" buttons: steps are counted live, push-ups are counted by the camera. - Spend your earned minutes whenever you choose to scroll. WHY IT WORKS Putting a small, healthy price on scrolling makes you pause and decide if it's worth it. That pause is where the habit breaks. It's built on positive reinforcement, not punishment. FEATURES - Earn-to-Scroll: unlock screen time with healthy actions - Live-verified push-ups (camera) and steps (motion) — no shortcuts - A calm Garden that grows as you build the habit - Real Screen Time insights for your blocked apps - Light & dark mode, fully on-device — your data never leaves your phone Outloop Premium unlocks all earn actions and deeper insights. And if you're ever really in a pinch, you can even buy scroll time with real money — a tongue-in-cheek reminder of what your attention is worth. Leave the loop. Earn your scroll.
