Stop doomscrolling. Earn your screen time. EarnIt locks the apps you waste time on and unlocks them only when you complete real workouts — push-ups, squats, planks, steps and more, counted and verified by AI using your phone's camera. No equipment. No gym. No excuses. You pick the apps. You pick the workout. Your phone watches your form, counts every rep, and only unlocks your apps when the work is done. WHAT MAKES EARNIT DIFFERENT Most screen time apps just block you. EarnIt makes you earn it. Your favorite apps become the reward for real physical activity. AI-POWERED REP COUNTING Point your phone at yourself and start moving. EarnIt uses on-device pose detection to recognize exercises in real time: • Counts push-ups, squats, sit-ups, crunches, lunges, jumping jacks, high knees, mountain climbers and burpees • Tracks timed exercises like planks and stretches • Counts your steps when you walk or run — no camera needed • Verifies every rep so you can't cheat the system No wearable needed — just your iPhone. ALREADY WORKED OUT? UNLOCK WITH APPLE HEALTH Already worked out today — at the gym, on a run, or in another app? Turn on Apple Health sync and a recent workout unlocks your apps automatically, so you don't do extra reps just to open your phone. Optional, off by default. LOCK ANY APP ON YOUR PHONE Choose the apps to lock — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, Netflix, X, Discord, Roblox and more — or add any app installed on your phone. Set how long each app stays unlocked once you've earned it: • 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or the rest of the day • Per-rep mode: every rep earns you screen time • Custom duration: dial it in to the minute TWO LOCK MODES • Mindful Mode: a 10-second pause before opening the app, with a snooze option. Awareness without hard restrictions. • Standard Mode: the app stays fully locked until you finish your workout. No shortcuts. READY-MADE WORKOUTS Five templates so you never have to think: • Quick 5: a fast 5-minute routine for busy days • Morning Grind: a full warm-up to start your day • Cardio Burn: high-intensity when you need to sweat • Stretch Flow: recovery and mobility for rest days • Full Body: complete strength work head to toe Or build your own with any combination of exercises, sets, reps, and rest times. SMART RANDOMIZATION Turn on smart randomization and EarnIt surprises you with a different workout each time, so you can't autopilot through the easiest one. SEE THE TIME YOU'RE WINNING BACK Your Progress dashboard shows screen time per locked app, with a this-week vs last-week comparison and daily average — watch the hours you're reclaiming. Plus: • Current streak and personal best • Total workouts, sets, and reps • Workout minutes logged • Estimated calories burned STREAKS AND MILESTONES Track your daily streak and hit milestones at 7, 30, 100 days and beyond. FAMILY MODE Add family members and assign each one age-appropriate workouts — everyone trains at their own level, and you track it all from your dashboard. Included in every subscription and shareable through Apple Family Sharing. EMERGENCY BYPASS Life happens.

GYMPULSED helps you stay consistent at the gym through 1v1 accountability challenges with a linked partner. You and your gym partner agree on the rules together: weekly sessions, gym location, and the amount per missed session. Each of you authorizes a challenge deposit. You check in at the gym, track progress together, and at the end of the period settlement applies the rules you both accepted. Each challenge is between two linked partners — outcomes follow your agreed rules and check-ins, not chance. HOW IT WORKS • Link one partner via invite code • Create a challenge together: sessions per week, gym, and amount per missed session • Both partners review and accept the same rules before the challenge starts • Each partner authorizes their own challenge deposit • Check in at the gym (location verification) • At challenge end, settlement calculates outcomes between the two of you from verified check-ins FEATURES (Subscription required) Partner accountability • One linked partner per challenge • Shared weekly tracker — your progress and your partner’s • Rules and deposit amounts shown to both partners before you confirm Gym check-in • Location-based attendance verification • Check-in windows and rules shown before activation Challenges • 1v1 format between linked partners • Typical duration: 7 days • Transparent rules accepted by both partners before start Payouts • Secure payments via Stripe • Set up your bank details to receive transfers from challenge settlement • View past challenge outcomes WHY IT WORKS You’re not training alone. Your partner counts on you, you count on them, and the rules you set together make consistency harder to ignore. SAFE & TRANSPARENT • Rules agreed by both partners before the challenge activates • Deposits are per challenge and settled via Stripe • Subscription is managed in the App Store • Gym check-ins use location to verify attendance, as shown in the app before you confirm • For users aged 18 and over only Terms of use: https://www.gympulsed.com/terms
