Scroll Toll – Earn Your Screen Time With Exercise Scroll Toll helps you build healthier phone habits by turning screen time into workout time. Instead of endlessly scrolling through social media, you earn your app usage by completing real exercises — pushups, squats, and overhead reaches — detected in real-time through your phone's camera using pose detection. HOW IT WORKS Choose which apps to lock (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more) When your screen time runs out, the app blocks access to those apps Complete exercises in front of your camera to earn more screen time Each rep earns you minutes — the more you move, the more you scroll FEATURES AI-Powered Exercise Detection: Uses your phone's camera and on-device pose estimation to count pushups, squats, and overhead reaches in real-time. All processing happens locally on your device — no video is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. App Blocking: Select any apps you want to manage. When your earned screen time runs out, those apps are blocked until you exercise again. You can bank up to 2 hours of screen time. Smart Usage Tracking: See your daily screen time breakdown with a clear dashboard showing your top 5 most-used apps and how much time you spend on each. Personalized Onboarding: Take a quick quiz to understand your phone habits, set your screen time goals, and get a personalized plan based on your usage patterns. Multiple Exercises: Choose from bodyweight squats, classic pushups, or gentle overhead reaches — with more exercises coming soon. Adjustable Rewards: Set how many minutes of screen time each exercise rep earns you. PERMISSIONS Camera: Required for real-time exercise detection using on-device pose estimation. The camera is only active while you are completing exercises — it is never running in the background. Screen Time (Family Controls): Scroll Toll uses Apple's Screen Time framework to lock selected apps when your earned time runs out. This permission requires your authorization and is used solely to enforce the limits you configure. No data about your usage is shared with anyone. Motion & Fitness: Used to support accurate exercise detection and rep counting alongside camera-based pose estimation. Notifications: Used to alert you when your screen time is running low so you can earn more before your selected apps are blocked. PRIVACY All exercise detection happens entirely on your device. No video or images are recorded, stored, or uploaded. Your usage data stays on your phone. Scroll Toll does not collect personal information. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Scroll Toll is free to download. The free version includes pushups as the only available exercise, up to 2 exercise sessions per week, and is supported by ads. A Scroll Toll Pro subscription unlocks all exercises (squats, overhead reaches, and all future exercises), removes the weekly session limit, gives you full access to your stats and usage dashboard, and removes all ads. If you choose to upgrade, payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime 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.
