The only unlock button is your body. PushBlock shields your distracting apps until you earn them back, one pushup at a time. No "tap ignore." No loopholes. If you want in, you work for it. Other blockers ask nicely, and you bypass them in two taps. PushBlock is different: it uses Apple Screen Time to make blocking real, and the only way past the shield is to put your phone down and do a pushup. Your camera counts the reps. You earn the minutes. You spend them on the apps that were eating your day. IMPOSSIBLE TO BYPASS Built on Apple's Screen Time engine. When an app is blocked, it stays blocked, until you earn time the hard way. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME 1 pushup = 2 minutes. Your camera counts every rep in real time. Bank them into your daily pool and spend them when you choose. GET FIT WHILE YOU CUT BACK Every doomscroll urge becomes a set of pushups. Less screen time, more strength, without thinking about it. BLOCK WHAT STEALS YOUR FOCUS TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit: block everything, or pick your worst offenders. Keep the apps you actually need. BUILD A STREAK Stay under your limit and keep your streak alive. Daily quests keep you honest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps to block. 2. Try to open one, and PushBlock shields it. 3. Do pushups to earn minutes, then spend them. That's the deal. "I got ripped and lost my social media addiction." "I finally feel free from my phone." "I feel like I got my brain back." You don't quit a habit. You replace it. Download PushBlock and make your phone earn its place in your day. PushBlock requires Screen Time permission to block apps. A subscription unlocks full blocking after a free trial; terms shown in-app. Cancel anytime. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at hello@mathroda.dev *THE APP REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION.

Tired of wasting hours scrolling through social media? Push Up Time turns your screen time into gains. Block distracting apps and earn them back by doing real push-ups — tracked by your camera in real time. HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps that distract you the most. Set how many push-ups are required to unlock each one. When you try to open a blocked app, you will need to complete your reps first. No cheating, no shortcuts. Your camera counts every rep using advanced pose detection. BLOCK APPS, EARN SCREEN TIME Select any app on your phone — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, or any other distraction. Set the number of push-ups required and how long the app stays unlocked after your workout. You are in control of your own screen time. REAL-TIME PUSH-UP COUNTER No manual counting. Your front camera watches your form and counts every rep automatically. Just place your phone on the ground, get into position, and start pushing. The app detects your body and tracks each push-up with precision. PVP BATTLE MODE Challenge other users in real-time push-up battles. Match with an opponent, compete head to head, and see who can push harder. Earn points, climb the leaderboard, and prove that you are stronger than the average scroller.

Every boss has a unique design and difficulty level that keeps you coming back for more. WEEKLY LEADERBOARD See how you rank against thousands of other users. The leaderboard resets every week, giving everyone a fresh chance to compete. Track your weekly reps, time spent working out, and your global ranking.

Every push-up you do is a step toward a healthier body and a more disciplined mind.
