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.

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. Earn more for strength training than walking, or boost the yoga rate when you're focused on flexibility. • Emergency override - when you really need an app, get 15 minutes of access once a day, then it's locked again ON YOUR TERMS MoveFirst is a personal self-management tool for adults (18+). You choose which apps to block, you set the goal, and you control when to spend your earned minutes. It is not a parental control app and is not for managing anyone else's device.
