Move first. Scroll later. Instead of restricting yourself with willpower alone, MoveFirst ties your screen time to physical activity, every workout you complete earns minutes you can spend on the apps you want to limit. Need minutes right now? Do a quick set of pushups or squats in front of your camera. Spend less time on distracting apps and more time being active. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps to block: social media, news, games, anything you want to use less. 2. Set a daily activity goal from 1 minute to 2 hours. You decide what counts: running, walking, cycling, strength training, yoga, hiking, swimming, HIIT. 3. Workouts sync through Apple Health. MoveFirst reads activity automatically from any Health-connected app - Apple Watch, Strava, Strong, Peloton, Whoop, and many more. No manual logging. 4. Or earn on the spot with an Instant Workout. Do pushups or squats in front of your camera and your reps are counted as you go. Every set earns minutes and counts toward your daily goal and streak. 5. Spend earned minutes. When a blocked app is opened, you'll see a screen with your current balance of screen time minutes earned. Tap to spend a few minutes, or close the app and earn more first. FEATURES • Instant Workouts - do pushups or squats in front of your camera and earn minutes on the spot, no fitness app needed • Daily goal and streaks - track consistency and build a real habit • Fitness and screen-time insights - track your progress, balance, and trends over time • Hard mode - require yourself to hit your daily goal before any screen time is earned • Customisable reward rules - weight each activity to match your goals. Earn more for strength training than walking, or boost the yoga rate when you're focused on flexibility. • Emergency override - when you really need an app, get 15 minutes of access once a day, then it's locked again ON YOUR TERMS MoveFirst is a personal self-management tool for adults (18+). You choose which apps to block, you set the goal, and you control when to spend your earned minutes. It is not a parental control app and is not for managing anyone else's device.

DoomIt

Other apps block your phone. This one does too — but it lets you earn the time first. You start with a small daily budget. Earn extra minutes through calm nights and challenges. THE NIGHT Set a night window, say 10 PM to 7 AM. Inside it, the apps you picked are closed. Every hour the phone stays down is worth a few minutes the next morning. Not all-or-nothing: reach for it at 3 AM and you only lose the hours after that — not the whole night. THE BODY Push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, plank, steps and short mindful breaks. Challenges credit minutes right away. Every exercise runs on a timer: pick a length, tap Start, put the phone down. If you like, let the camera count along — entirely on your device. No image is stored or sent. THE FOCUS CHECK Three minutes: a minute and a half of reading, one question, forty-five seconds of reaction. The result is a focus score from 0 to 100 — measured against your own baseline, not against anyone else. The score measures your trend, not your brain. Minutes are paid for the right answer. The check is one of the three daily challenges: measured once a day, the scores become a trend. With Pro you see it next to your nights and your minutes spent, day by day. THE STREAK Clear all three daily challenges in a day — a glass of water, a minute of breathing and the focus check — and the streak lives on. It's the only thing that carries past midnight — after five days held, you collect the minutes. A joker saves it across exactly one missed day. THE RATE IS FIXED What a night hour pays and what an exercise is worth is built in. An exchange rate you can adjust yourself isn't one. YOUR HISTORY With Pro, every day shows what you earned and what you spent. Every minute has an origin. DOOMIT PRO The shield, the night window, every challenge and your base minutes are free. Pro is tooling, not extra minutes: family challenge and friends list, history, focus trend, widget, spinner, buying jokers and iCloud sync. Monthly, yearly or one-time. WHAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Which apps you block never leaves the device — iOS only hands the app anonymous tokens. With Pro, progress can sync through your private iCloud account; family challenges use Apple CloudKit. Purchases run through Apple and RevenueCat. No separate DoomIt account, no ads and no sale of your data. THE WIDGET IS THE APP With Pro, your remaining minutes sit right on your home screen, with your focus score in the wide size. Our idea of success is unusual: we want you to open the app less, not more. DoomIt uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to lock the apps you choose during your night window.
