Hear yourself win before you play. Pepped turns your next big moment into a Game Vision: a personal, guided visualization in audio, built from the moment you are walking into and what you want to see happen. Your name. Your sport. Your storyline. About 90 seconds, ready before you walk in. Type the moment (the game, the tryout, the meet, the match, the test). Type what you want to see. Press play. Then listen the night before, on the bus, or right before warm-ups, as many times as you want. You can even ask for a wind-down Vision that settles you the night before, so you fall asleep ready. THE BEST ALREADY DO THIS In a study of 235 Olympic athletes, 99% used mental imagery, and mental readiness was the only readiness factor statistically linked to final ranking (Orlick and Partington, 1988). Game Vision gives you that same rep, made for your game. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your sport and name your moment. Your first Game Vision plays moments later. 2. Before every big day, tell Pepped what you want to see happen. It writes and records a Vision that follows exactly what you typed, with real vocabulary from your sport. 3. Press play, close your eyes, and run it until it feels familiar. PICK YOUR VOICE Steady, Fired Up, or Chill. Same Vision, delivered the way you want to hear it. MORE THAN THE AUDIO - Chat with Pepped, your 100% positive hype coach. It remembers your goals, your schedule, and your wins, and shows up before the moments that matter. - Send a pep card to a teammate or the team group chat when someone has a big day. - Every card you receive is saved in your vault. WHY PEPPED IS DIFFERENT - Made new for every moment. Not a playlist of canned tracks: every Vision is written for the exact moment you typed. - Any moment counts. Game day, tryouts, a meet, a match, an exam, an audition. - 100% positive. Every image is of you executing well. No negativity, ever. - Built for athletes and students 13 and up. Try Pepped free for 3 days. Then Pepped Pro is $2.99/week, $6.99/month, or $39.99/year. Pro includes unlimited Game Visions, every voice style, daily pep talks, pep cards, and premium card themes.

Move first. Scroll later. Instead of restricting yourself with willpower alone, MoveFirst ties your screen time to physical activity, every workout you complete earns minutes you can spend on the apps you want to limit. Need minutes right now? Do a quick set of pushups or squats in front of your camera. Spend less time on distracting apps and more time being active. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps to block: social media, news, games, anything you want to use less. 2. Set a daily activity goal from 1 minute to 2 hours. You decide what counts: running, walking, cycling, strength training, yoga, hiking, swimming, HIIT. 3. Workouts sync through Apple Health. MoveFirst reads activity automatically from any Health-connected app - Apple Watch, Strava, Strong, Peloton, Whoop, and many more. No manual logging. 4. Or earn on the spot with an Instant Workout. Do pushups or squats in front of your camera and your reps are counted as you go. Every set earns minutes and counts toward your daily goal and streak. 5. Spend earned minutes. When a blocked app is opened, you'll see a screen with your current balance of screen time minutes earned. Tap to spend a few minutes, or close the app and earn more first. FEATURES • Instant Workouts - do pushups or squats in front of your camera and earn minutes on the spot, no fitness app needed • Daily goal and streaks - track consistency and build a real habit • Fitness and screen-time insights - track your progress, balance, and trends over time • Hard mode - require yourself to hit your daily goal before any screen time is earned • Customisable reward rules - weight each activity to match your goals.
