ScrollToll: Screen-Time Gym locks your most distracting apps until you exercise. Earn screen time with pushups, squats, jumping jacks and more. Your camera counts every rep on your iPhone, and nothing is recorded. HOW IT WORKS • Select the apps you want to block (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more) • Exercise to earn minutes. • Using your selected apps spends those minutes • When your minutes run out, those apps lock until you exercise again 8 WAYS TO EARN SCREEN TIME • Pushups and diamond pushups • Squats and lunges • Jumping jacks • Crunches • Overhead reach, a gentle option for any fitness level • Memory Tiles, a quick brain game for when you can't move FEATURES • AI rep counting: On-device pose detection counts each rep and checks your form in real time. • Strict Mode: An optional extra lock you can turn on. While it's on, you can add apps to your lock list but can't remove any. Turning it off takes reps, a timer or a friend's approval, so a weak moment can't undo your plan. • Adjustable rewards: Choose how many minutes each rep earns. • Streaks and badges: Build a daily habit, from your first workout to a 365-day streak. • Usage dashboard: See your daily screen time and your top 5 most-used apps. PERMISSIONS • Camera: Counts your reps while you exercise. Video is processed on your device and is never recorded, stored or uploaded. The camera is never on in the background. • Screen Time (Family Controls): Uses Apple's Screen Time framework to lock the apps you choose. It is used only to enforce the limits you set, and your app usage data is never shared. • Motion & Fitness: Helps count your reps accurately alongside the camera. • Notifications: Tells you when your screen time is running low, so you can earn more before your apps lock. SUBSCRIPTION ScrollToll: Screen-Time Gym needs a subscription to use. New subscribers start with a 3-day trial. Monthly and yearly plans are available. Prices vary by country and are shown in the app before you subscribe. Your subscription starts when the trial ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase, or when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

Your phone is stealing your life four seconds at a time. EarnScroll takes it back. EarnScroll is the screen time app that makes you work for every minute on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and any other app that's quietly rotting your brain. No more mindless unlocks. No more "just five minutes" that turns into two hours. If you want the dopamine, you earn the dopamine. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that waste your time. EarnScroll blocks them. To unlock them, you complete a real-world healthy habit like push-ups, squats, steps walked, or our favorite: going outside and touching actual grass. Finish the challenge, earn minutes, scroll guilt-free. Run out of minutes? Drop and give us twenty. EARN SCREEN TIME WITH - Push-ups, verified by your phone's motion sensors - Squats, same deal, no cheating - Steps, synced with Apple Health or Google Fit - Outdoor time, confirmed by GPS so you actually leave the house - Custom habits like meditation, reading, or water intake BLOCK THE APPS THAT BLOCK YOUR LIFE Lock Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, X, Facebook, Reddit, dating apps, mobile games, anything you wish you used less. EarnScroll enforces the block at the system level. No willpower required. The app physically will not open until you've earned the time. WHY EARN SCROLL IS DIFFERENT Most screen time apps just shame you with a weekly report. Cool, now what? Most app blockers are too easy to bypass. One tap on "ignore limit" and you're back in the hole. EarnScroll is built on a simple trade: your health for your habits. Every minute of scroll time is a minute you invested in your body. You don't quit social media. You earn it. BUILT FOR - Anyone trying to break a phone addiction - Parents who want kids earning screen time instead of inheriting it - Students who need to focus - Gym-goers turning rest days into rep days - Remote workers fighting the Slack-to-Twitter spiral - People who genuinely want to touch grass more FEATURES - Custom exchange rates so you set how many push-ups equal one minute of Instagram - Streak tracking to build momentum and watch your habit chains grow - Daily and weekly stats showing exactly how much you earned versus spent - Hard mode with no rollover minutes, no banking, no mercy - Family mode to set rules for kids that they can't override - Focus sessions for full lockdown during deep work - Habit history to track fitness wins alongside screen time wins THE PHILOSOPHY We're not anti-phone. We're anti-autopilot. The problem isn't that you use Instagram. The problem is that you opened it without deciding to. EarnScroll puts a small, healthy speed bump between you and the infinite scroll. Over time, that speed bump rewires your defaults. You get fitter. You get outside. You get your attention back. And when you do scroll, you actually enjoy it, because you earned it. DOWNLOAD EARNSCROLL AND START EARNING Stop letting algorithms decide how your day goes. Trade reps for minutes. Trade steps for scrolls. Trade grass for the gram. Your future self is watching. Earn your screen time. Earn your life back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: EarnScroll at free with in-app purchases against ScrollToll's subscription. EarnScroll also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). ScrollToll's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
