TimeUp

TimeUp turns your screen time into real rewards. Create your own rules, earn minutes by moving, walking, sleeping, or completing mini-challenges, then use your balance to unlock time on the apps you choose. Every rule is fully customizable: set what earns time, the limits, and track your progress over the days. When your balance is empty, the limit automatically resumes. With TimeUp, you can: • Earn time with your exercise, steps, sleep, or mindfulness minutes, if you allow access to Apple Health. • Launch an express challenge: do 5 push-ups or 5 squats to add 5 minutes. The camera analyzes your movements locally on the iPhone; no images are saved. • Customize rules, time, and limits per activity. • Choose which apps to manage with Apple's Screen Time features. • View your balance, history, and a summary of the last 7 days. • Use a simple interface, with no account and no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeUp at none against KnotQ's 1. KnotQ's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
