Stop scrolling. Start moving. Train2Scroll locks the apps you can't stop opening — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more behind quick workouts. Want to scroll? Do a few push-ups first. The more reps you do, the more screen time you earn. It's that simple. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to lock Choose the apps and categories that eat up your time. Train2Scroll uses Apple's Screen Time Analytics to shield selected apps until you earn unlock minutes. 2. Choose your exercise Select push-ups, squats, plank, walk, or run. Each exercise earns you unlock time at a fixed rate — no complicated math, just move and earn. 3. Work out with real-time exercise detection Your iPhone camera counts push-up reps and plank seconds automatically using on-device pose detection. Walk and run workouts track your steps. No data leaves your phone. 4. Earn and spend screen time Finish your workout and your earned minutes are added to your balance. Use your locked apps freely until the timer runs out — then exercise again. WHY TRAIN2SCROLL - Exercise-powered app blocking — not just another screen time limiter - AI rep counting via camera — hands-free, automatic tracking - Push-ups, plank, walk & run — variety keeps it fresh - Real app locking with Screen Time shields — no workarounds - Workout history & insights — track your progress over time - Works 100% offline — no account, no cloud, no data collection BUILT DIFFERENT Most screen time apps just block you.
