PushCount
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pay for your screen time in push-ups. PushCount locks the apps that eat your day. Do a set to open them. Free β the whole thing, not a trial. IS THIS YOU? β’ You reach for your phone before you're even out of bed β’ "Just five minutes" turns into two hours β’ You set Screen Time β and bypass it in one second β’ You want to move more, but never find the time HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that eat your day β 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 β a live meter shows what the camera actually saw β and you can fix the count on the spot. 3. They say you can't escape. Of course you can escape β 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 β’ Knee and incline push-ups count too β the counter calibrates to your own range β’ A training plan that builds from your current max toward 50 or 100 in a row β’ Apple Health sync β’ iCloud sync across your devices Terms of Use: https://qumge.com/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://qumge.com/en/privacy

Earn your screen time by moving. BlockUp puts Appleβs system shield on apps you pick. Do real push-ups with the front camera to earn minutes. Spend them and the shield lifts while you use the app. Time counts down only while that app is open. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps to lock. 2. Open one. The shield appears. 3. Open BlockUp. Get in frame. Do the reps. Each rep adds one minute. 4. Spend the tank. Switch back to the app. WHAT YOU GET β’ Real rep counting on the front camera. Frames stay on your iPhone. β’ Push-ups and one blocked app, free, with no cap. β’ Extra apps, squats, and sit-ups with Premium. β’ Adult self-lock. You block, you move, you unlock. No parent or child account. β’ No account. FREE AND PREMIUM Push-ups and one blocked app stay free forever. Premium unlocks more apps plus squats and sit-ups. BlockUp Premium β’ Monthly: $9.99 per month β’ Yearly: $29.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial Prices may vary by storefront. The price shown in the app is the price you pay. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. This app is a screen-time and workout tool. It is not medical advice. Deleting BlockUp or turning off Screen Time access in Settings lifts the shield.

Verdict
PushCount and BlockUp are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
