PushPal locks the apps that waste your time and only unlocks them when you exercise. Every rep you complete earns screen time. One push-up, one minute. AI pose detection counts your reps and checks your form, so there is no way to fake it. THE PROBLEM You have tried screen time limits. You have tried app timers. You dismissed them in seconds and went right back to scrolling. The average person spends over 4 hours a day on their phone. That is 60 full days a year lost to apps designed to keep you hooked. THE SOLUTION PushPal is the only app blocker that requires real physical effort to unlock your distractions. Not a timer. Not a breathing exercise. Not a notification you can swipe away. Actual reps, verified by AI, before you get access. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps that distract you most - Choose your exercise: push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and more - Tap a blocked app and start repping - Each verified rep earns one minute of screen time - Adjust the ratio anytime in settings FEATURES - AI pose detection that verifies every rep in real time - Temporarily block any app on your phone - Earn one minute per rep by default, fully adjustable - Push-ups, squats, sit-ups, with more exercises on the way - Calibrates to your body and environment each session - Behavioural analytics that track what actually matters THE SHIFT When scrolling costs effort, you stop scrolling mindlessly. Most people notice a change in the first week. Fifteen push-ups before opening TikTok makes you reconsider whether you even want it. What are you waiting for?
