ScreenReps blocks the apps that own your attention until you earn the time back with real movement. Pick the apps that scroll-trap you — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever — then set how many push-ups, squats, or steps unlock a minute. Open a blocked app and you'll see a shield instead of the feed. Knock out the reps and your earned minutes bank automatically, ready to spend whenever you want. HOW UNLOCKING WORKS When you're ready for a break, spend your banked minutes to unlock your apps for a set window — 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The countdown runs, and when it's up, the shield comes back automatically. Done early? Lock up and the unused minutes go straight back to your bank. Your effort is never wasted. THREE WAYS TO EARN • Camera + on-device AI verifies your form for push-ups, squats, planks, and more — no cheating, no honor-system timers • Apple Health pulls your steps, flights climbed, and swim strokes automatically • Pin your gym; checking in unlocks bonus minutes when you actually show up WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PRO Free: walking, squats, push-ups, planks, custom ratios, daily streak, and app blocking with no limit on how many apps you block. Pro ($9.99/mo or $49.99/yr with a 3-day free trial): all exercises, weekly schedules, gym check-ins, schedules, strict lock, bank unused minutes forever, and monthly and yearly stats. PRIVACY FIRST Your health and location data stay on your device. We don't sell or share anything. No accounts. No ads. Stop scrolling. Start moving.

Stop losing hours to the scroll. DoomShield locks the apps that hijack your attention—Instagram, TikTok, X, and more—until you earn them back with real push-ups. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that drain you. 2. Open one and DoomShield's shield blocks it. 3. Do your push-ups—the AI camera counts every rep. 4. Earn a timed unlock. When it's up, the shield comes back. It's a simple trade: move your body, get your time. No willpower required—just a rule you can't swipe away. REAL, UN-BYPASSABLE BLOCKING DoomShield uses Apple's Screen Time technology to block apps at the system level. This isn't a timer you can dismiss—it's a real shield. EARN IT WITH EFFORT Turn doomscrolling into reps. Every unlock costs a few push-ups, so the more you reach for your phone, the stronger you get. SQUAD: STREAKS WITH FRIENDS Add friends, build daily streaks, and keep each other honest. Nudge your squad when they slack—accountability is the cheat code. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your push-ups, unlocks, and streaks over time. Watch wasted hours turn into reps. DOOMSHIELD PRO Upgrade for unlimited blocked apps, unlimited daily unlocks, custom rep and session targets, and full stats. Beat the doomscroll. Build the habit. Get your time back—one rep at a time.
