Turn your phone addiction into energy. ReControl blocks the apps that steal your time — and you unlock them by moving. No more endless scrolling: your screen time is earned. THE PROBLEM: you're losing years to scrolling. We spend several hours a day on our phones — entire years of our lives on TikTok, Instagram and social media. Time you'll never get back. THE SOLUTION: exercise unlocks your screen time. ReControl flips the logic. Want to open a blocked app? Do a few pushups, squats, sit-ups or jumping jacks. The camera counts your reps — no cheating. You take care of your body while you disconnect. WHAT YOU GAIN • Less screen time, without the frustration • A workout routine that builds naturally • Sharper focus, better sleep, a clear mind • Your addiction replaced by a good habit • The satisfaction of taking back control FEATURES Smart app blocker • Lock social media and time-wasting apps • Screen-time control that actually holds Unlock by moving • Pushups, squats, jumping jacks, sit-ups • On-device pose detection: every rep counts • Choose your difficulty and rep count Progress like a game • Earn XP, level up, keep your streaks alive • Complete quests, open chests, unlock trophies • Your discipline becomes a motivating adventure See your progress • Track your screen time day by day • See the minutes — and years — you win back • Watch your physical activity climb PERFECT FOR • Anyone hooked on social media • Doomscrollers and procrastinators • People who want to get fit but lack motivation • Students who want to focus better • Professionals chasing productivity • People easily distracted (ADHD) by their phone THE SCIENCE Pairing a behavior you want to reduce (screen time) with one you want to build (exercise) creates lasting habits. ReControl uses this principle to transform your relationship with your phone… and your body. PRIVATE & SECURE ReControl uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) API to block apps. The camera is only used to count your reps, entirely on your device: no video is ever stored or transmitted. Take back the power over your phone. Download ReControl. — ReControl offers a Premium subscription (monthly and annual plans) that unlocks all features. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings.
