ScrollBreak locks the apps that hook you, then lets you earn them back with real exercise. Pick the apps that pull you in most. ScrollBreak keeps them locked by default, using Apple's Screen Time tools. To unlock them, do a set of push-ups or squats. Each set banks screen-time minutes you can spend on a timed session. There's no feed to scroll past it, no snooze button, and no way to talk yourself out of it — just a straightforward trade: movement for minutes. How it works: - Choose the apps you want ScrollBreak to shield - Do push-ups or squats in front of your camera - ScrollBreak counts your reps on-device using Apple's Vision framework - Earned minutes go into your bank - Spend banked minutes to unlock a timed session in your shielded apps Your privacy: Rep counting happens entirely on your device. ScrollBreak never records, saves, or transmits video. Nothing about your workouts leaves your phone. Set your own earn rate during setup, track your banked minutes, and build a habit of moving before you scroll.

Stop doomscrolling. Start earning it. RepScreen is the #1 screen time control app that makes you exercise before you scroll. Use your phone less, move your body more — and actually enjoy the process. HOW IT WORKS: Every minute of exercise earns you a coin. Every coin buys you a minute of screen time. Want to open Instagram, TikTok, or X? Do your push-ups first. It's that simple — and that powerful. AI REP COUNTING: Just prop up your phone and start moving. RepScreen uses your camera to automatically count reps in real time — no wearables, no manual input. Tracks push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and more with precision. BLOCK ADDICTIVE APPS: Set limits on your most-used apps. When your minutes run out, RepScreen locks them — the only way back in is to work out. GAMIFY YOUR FITNESS: Level up, climb ranks, and fight bosses in Journey Mode. Challenge yourself to beat personal bests, earn XP, and unlock new tiers from Rookie all the way to Transcendent. Fitness has never felt this addictive.
