The average person will spend more than 10 years of their life staring at a phone. ScreenFine is how you take some of it back. Most screen time apps are easy to ignore. You watch the timer tick, tap "ignore for 15 minutes," and nothing changes. ScreenFine actually stops you. Go over your daily limit and the apps you chose lock shut. The only way back in is real effort: 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a logged workout, or 10 mindful minutes. Your body clears the block, not your wallet. And an AI villain roasts every slip. No willpower required. The consequence does the work. HOW IT WORKS - Set your daily screen time limit, anywhere from 1 to 8 hours - Cross it and your chosen apps shield closed at the system level - Earn the unlock with 25 pushups, 25 squats, 1,000 steps, a workout, or 10 mindful minutes - Miss the window and it counts as a slip you can see, never a charge - 7 days free, then $1 a week. The subscription is the only thing you ever pay. BEAT PHONE ADDICTION FOR REAL Other blockers are a suggestion you can swipe past. ScreenFine locks at the OS level using Apple Screen Time, so going over carries a real consequence and stopping the scroll finally sticks. Built for doomscrolling, dopamine detox, focus, digital wellbeing, and self control, and friendly for ADHD brains that need a firmer stop than a banner. MEET YOUR AI VILLAIN Pick a character who roasts you every time you slip. The Banker counts your losses. The Reaper reminds you time is finite. The Ex judges in silence. The Coach pushes harder. Personal, savage messages, served on your lock screen. REAL ACCOUNTABILITY - OS level app shielding blocks your worst apps when you are over - Choose exactly which apps to lock with Apple's family activity picker - Wall of Shame shows your slips to other users when you opt in - Partner mode lets someone you trust see your stats - Squad mode brings group accountability with friends FOCUS SESSIONS Lock your phone for timed challenges. Finish sessions to earn credits and unlock perks. Great for deep work, study, and better sleep. SMART TRACKING - Apple Screen Time for accurate, real time usage - Per app breakdown shows exactly where your time goes - A weekly AI coach turns your patterns into plain advice - Heatmaps and trends so progress is easy to see WHO IT IS FOR Anyone fighting doomscrolling, a short attention span, or a phone habit that beats their willpower. If timers and "ignore" buttons have never worked, ScreenFine gives you the hard stop they cannot. PRICING - Free: screen time tracking only - $1 a week: full enforcement, AI villain, app shielding, Wall of Shame, weekly reports - Billed weekly through Apple. Cancel any time. 7-day free trial.

Pay for your screen time in push-ups. PushCount locks the apps that eat your day. Do a set to open them. Free โ the whole thing, not a trial. IS THIS YOU? โข You reach for your phone before you're even out of bed โข "Just five minutes" turns into two hours โข You set Screen Time โ and bypass it in one second โข You want to move more, but never find the time HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that eat your day โ social, news, games. 2. They stop opening. 3. Lay your phone on the floor and do a set. The front camera counts every rep. Your apps open for a while, then lock again automatically. THREE THINGS OTHER APPS GET WRONG 1. They charge. Our complete product is free. Not a trial. Not seven days. 2. They count badly. When a rep is missed you can see why โ a live meter shows what the camera actually saw โ and you can fix the count on the spot. 3. They say you can't escape. Of course you can escape โ just delete the app. We don't pretend we can stop you. We only make sure the price you pay is real. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every camera frame is processed on this iPhone. Nothing leaves your device, and nothing is saved. No account. No sign-up. ALSO INSIDE โข Knee and incline push-ups count too โ the counter calibrates to your own range โข A training plan that builds from your current max toward 50 or 100 in a row โข Apple Health sync โข iCloud sync across your devices Terms of Use: https://qumge.com/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://qumge.com/en/privacy
