ScrollBank turns screen time into something you earn. Instead of endlessly scrolling, set a screen time budget, choose the apps you want to control, and earn extra minutes by completing push-up challenges. The idea is simple: 1 push-up = 1 extra minute. ScrollBank is built for people who want to reduce doomscrolling, stay focused, and make their phone less addictive without relying only on willpower. WHY SCROLLBANK? Most screen time tools only tell you how much time you wasted. ScrollBank goes further. It turns your screen time into a challenge. When your limit is reached, you don’t just keep scrolling automatically. You have to earn more time through effort. That small friction can help you pause, move, reset, and decide if you really want more screen time. KEY FEATURES EARN SCREEN TIME Complete push-up challenges to earn extra phone minutes. SCREEN TIME BUDGET Set a daily limit and control how much time you want to spend on distracting apps. APP BLOCKING Choose the apps you want to limit and make endless scrolling harder. HARD MODE For stronger discipline, make every extra minute something you have to earn. FOCUS TIMER Use ScrollBank as a simple focus tool when you want to study, work, train, or stay away from distractions. FITNESS-BASED HABIT BUILDING Turn phone use into a reason to move your body and build discipline. STREAKS AND PROGRESS Track your effort, stay consistent, and build better habits over time. WHO IS SCROLLBANK FOR? ScrollBank is made for: • People who scroll too much • Students who want better focus • Creators who want more discipline • Fitness-minded users • Anyone trying to reduce phone addiction • People who want a stronger alternative to basic screen time limits • Users who want to turn self-control into a game A DIFFERENT WAY TO CONTROL YOUR PHONE ScrollBank is not just another timer. It is a simple rule for your digital life: If you want more screen time, earn it. That makes scrolling more intentional. It gives your brain a pause before opening distracting apps again. And it connects your phone habits with something healthier: movement.

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.
