Zonk! helps you turn screen time into movement time. Instead of simply blocking distracting apps, Zonk gives you a clear trade: move your body, earn more time. Do pushups, squats, hold a plank, or reach your daily step goal to unlock minutes for selected apps. It is simple, physical, and private by design. Also totally FREE! WHY ZONK? Most screen time apps only say βstop.β Zonk says βmove first.β Choose the apps you want to limit, start with a small daily budget, then earn extra time through healthy activity. A short burst of movement can unlock a useful break without turning your phone into an endless scroll machine.

When your selected apps are paused, the answer is not shame or willpower. The answer is movement. Five pushups. Five squats. A short plank. A walk outside. Small actions add up, and Zonk makes those actions feel useful immediately. Zonk does not require an account. Zonk does not track you across apps or websites. Zonk does not use cloud sync. Zonk does not add subscriptions or hidden costs. Your settings and activity stay on your iPhone. FREE FROM THE START Zonk is free to use. No fee, No subscription. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Use Zonk for social apps, short video apps, or any app that tends to pull you in longer than planned. It is especially useful for people who want a more active relationship with their phone, families who want a simple screen time rule, or anyone who wants scrolling to cost a little movement first. Move first. Scroll later. That is Zonk.
