Whether you want to reduce scrolling, limit app time, build better phone habits, or create a stronger screen time routine, Pushly helps you create friction before you fall back into old patterns. Why Pushly? * Control distracting apps before they pull you in * Complete push-up sessions to earn credits * Use credits to unlock app time intentionally * Track your reps and progress * Reduce impulsive scrolling * Build a healthier relationship with your phone * Replace mindless screen time with movement Pushly is designed for people who want more than a normal screen time limit. Instead of simply telling you to stop, Pushly helps you pause, move, and make a more conscious choice before opening distracting apps. Pushly is free to download. Access to app blocking, credit-based app unlocking, progress tracking, and the full Pushly experience requires an active subscription after the 7-day free trial.
