MOVE MORE. SCROLL LESS. Distracting apps are designed to pull you back in. PushUp Unlock puts movement between impulse and access—turning app blocking into an exciting push-up battle. Choose the apps that steal your attention. When you want to open one, face a monster and race to complete your push-up target first. Win the battle to unlock only that app. Lose, and it stays locked. No more mindless opening. Every minute of screen time is earned through movement. A NEW WAY TO BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS PushUp Unlock combines app blocking, fitness, and real-time competition in one completely new experience. • Challenge four monsters with different difficulty levels • Complete 5, 10, 20, or 40 push-ups to win • Earn 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of app access • Battles last up to 40 seconds • The battle ends immediately when you or the monster reaches the target • Monsters follow a fixed pace—no real players are involved BEAT THE MONSTER.
