Earn your time back. Chrona blocks the apps that pull you in and gives your minutes back when you do something real. Breathe for a minute, read, do a few push-ups, stay focused: every action fills your hourglass. Scrolling drains it. YOUR HOURGLASS Chrona is an hourglass that lives with you. It glows when your day is going well and gets tired when you scroll too much. The sand is your minutes: you earn it, then you choose when to spend it. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that steal your time: a shield protects them. • To open them, spend your sand (5, 10, 15 minutes…), then they close again on their own. • Empty hourglass? A few minutes are enough to fill it. EARN SAND • Breathe: one guided minute, in for 4 s, out for 6 s • Push-ups and squats, counted by the camera • Reading: 15 minutes with your book • Focus: 25 minutes without your phone YOUR RULES • Bedtime, morning, work: during your plannings, sand opens nothing. Not even 5 minutes. • An evening recap at 9 pm, if you want it. • A monthly calendar to watch your days fill with sand. No lectures. Just a fair trade: a bit of real life, then a bit of scrolling. CHRONA PRO Chrona Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, with a free trial on some offers. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, from your App Store account settings.

The only unlock button is your body. PushBlock shields your distracting apps until you earn them back, one pushup at a time. No "tap ignore." No loopholes. If you want in, you work for it. Other blockers ask nicely, and you bypass them in two taps. PushBlock is different: it uses Apple Screen Time to make blocking real, and the only way past the shield is to put your phone down and do a pushup. Your camera counts the reps. You earn the minutes. You spend them on the apps that were eating your day. IMPOSSIBLE TO BYPASS Built on Apple's Screen Time engine. When an app is blocked, it stays blocked, until you earn time the hard way. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME 1 pushup = 2 minutes. Your camera counts every rep in real time. Bank them into your daily pool and spend them when you choose. GET FIT WHILE YOU CUT BACK Every doomscroll urge becomes a set of pushups. Less screen time, more strength, without thinking about it. BLOCK WHAT STEALS YOUR FOCUS TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit: block everything, or pick your worst offenders. Keep the apps you actually need. BUILD A STREAK Stay under your limit and keep your streak alive. Daily quests keep you honest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps to block. 2. Try to open one, and PushBlock shields it. 3. Do pushups to earn minutes, then spend them. That's the deal. "I got ripped and lost my social media addiction." "I finally feel free from my phone." "I feel like I got my brain back." You don't quit a habit. You replace it. Download PushBlock and make your phone earn its place in your day. PushBlock requires Screen Time permission to block apps. A subscription unlocks full blocking after a free trial; terms shown in-app. Cancel anytime. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at hello@mathroda.dev *THE APP REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION.

Both are free to download. Screen Time & Focus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PushBlock sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
