Stop doomscrolling. Start earning it. RepScreen is the #1 screen time control app that makes you exercise before you scroll. Use your phone less, move your body more — and actually enjoy the process. HOW IT WORKS: Every minute of exercise earns you a coin. Every coin buys you a minute of screen time. Want to open Instagram, TikTok, or X? Do your push-ups first. It's that simple — and that powerful. AI REP COUNTING: Just prop up your phone and start moving. RepScreen uses your camera to automatically count reps in real time — no wearables, no manual input. Tracks push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and more with precision. BLOCK ADDICTIVE APPS: Set limits on your most-used apps. When your minutes run out, RepScreen locks them — the only way back in is to work out. GAMIFY YOUR FITNESS: Level up, climb ranks, and fight bosses in Journey Mode. Challenge yourself to beat personal bests, earn XP, and unlock new tiers from Rookie all the way to Transcendent. Fitness has never felt this addictive. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS: Monitor streaks, active days, session history, and rank rating (RR) across every exercise. Compete with yourself — and win. Note: The main features of the app do require an active subscription.
