HOW IT WORKS • Select the apps or websites you want to block • Complete short exercise sessions • Earn unlock time after each workout • Use your earned time to access blocked apps • Build better screen time habits day by day WHY PUSH UP TIME?

BUILT FOR • Reducing social media scrolling • Staying focused while studying or working • Building healthier phone habits • Turning screen time into movement • Replacing impulse unlocks with intentional breaks Push Up Time is not a medical or fitness coaching app. It is a productivity and digital wellness app that uses simple movement to help you take control of your screen time.
