Push Up Time: App Blocker helps you stop endless scrolling with a simple rule: move first, unlock later. Choose the apps and websites that distract you, block them with Screen Time, then earn temporary access by completing quick exercises like push-ups, squats, and planks. It is a focus app, app blocker, and digital wellness tool built for people who want less scrolling and more movement. 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? Traditional app blockers only lock you out. Push Up Time gives you a healthier way back in. Instead of opening distracting apps automatically, you pause, move your body, and unlock access intentionally. FEATURES • App and website blocking with Apple Screen Time • Push-up, squat, and plank based rewards • Camera-based exercise detection • Temporary unlock sessions • Screen time balance tracking • Simple onboarding • Clean, distraction-free design • No account required CAMERA PRIVACY The camera is used only to detect exercise movement and count reps or hold time. Camera video is not recorded, stored, or uploaded. SCREEN TIME PRIVACY Push Up Time only manages the apps and websites you choose through Apple’s Screen Time picker. You can change your selections or revoke permissions in iOS Settings. 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.

Push2Unlock

Push2Unlock blocks the apps that steal your time — and makes you earn them back with real exercise. When you try to open a blocked app, you see a lock screen instead of an endless feed. To unlock, do a set of push-ups, squats, or sit-ups in front of your camera. Your iPhone counts every rep on-device using Apple Vision. Finish the set and you get a timed window — 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes — before your apps automatically re-lock. A few minutes of movement for a few minutes of scrolling. That's the deal. WHY PUSH2UNLOCK • Reliable rep counting — angle-based detection with smoothing and anti-cheat. Half reps and hand-waving don't count. • Live form feedback — real-time hints like "Go lower" or "Move back, I can't see your whole body" while you exercise. Most blockers just show a number. • 100% private — all pose detection runs on your device with Apple Vision. No video is ever recorded, saved, or uploaded. No account, no sign-up. FEATURES • Block any app or website using Apple Screen Time • Three exercises: push-ups, squats, and sit-ups • Timed unlock windows: 15 / 30 / 60 / 120 minutes • Blocking Modes — reusable app groups like "Social Media" or "Deep Work" • Schedules — auto-lock at set times and days, including overnight • Live Activity & Dynamic Island countdown of your unlock window • Streaks, daily quests, and stats charts to keep you going • Spoken rep counts and haptic feedback — great when your phone is on the floor • Edit-freeze — locked modes can't be edited away mid-session, so you can't cheat yourself out of a workout HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps you want to block. 2. Set how many reps unlock them. 3. When you reach for a blocked app, do your reps. 4. Earn your screen time. Apps re-lock automatically. PRIVACY FIRST Your camera feed never leaves your iPhone. Pose detection is processed live and discarded frame by frame. No account needed — your workouts stay on your device. Only anonymous usage stats are shared to improve the app, and you can turn them off in Settings. SUBSCRIPTION Push2Unlock offers a 3-day free trial for the annual plan, then $29.99/year. Alternatively, subscribe to our monthly plan for $6.99/month. Prices may vary by region.
