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.

Your apps stay locked until you've earned them. RepLock blocks the apps that eat your day. To unlock them, there's exactly one way: real exercise, counted by your camera. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to block. RepLock shields them with Apple's Screen Time technology. 2. When you want your apps back, do squats or pushups, or hold a plank. Your camera verifies every rep, live and on-device. 3. Reps become minutes in your balance. Spend them whenever you want — your screen time waits for you. WHY REPLOCK IS DIFFERENT — A balance, not a stopwatch. Every verified rep deposits minutes into your bank. Save them up, spend them when it counts. — Strict by design. No skip button, no "just five more minutes", no escape hatch. The shield stays until the reps are done. — Three verified exercises. Squats, pushups, and planks — each checked live by on-device body detection. — You set the exchange rate. From 0.1 to 5 minutes per rep, per exercise. Make it as expensive as you need it to be. — Get-ready countdown and a live rep counter, so setup movements never count as reps. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything that matters happens on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. Camera frames are processed in real time on-device and are never stored or sent anywhere. The only thing RepLock sends is anonymous usage statistics (which screens are used, how many sessions are completed) — never linked to you, never sold. REPLOCK PRO Start with a free trial, then one simple yearly subscription. Unlimited app blocking, all three exercises, every feature included. You already know willpower isn't enough — you've tried the timers and the limits. Put your screen time behind something that actually costs effort. Doomscrolling got you here. Squats will get you out. Privacy Policy: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://0xcssh.github.io/replock-legal/terms.html
