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. Protect your sleep, work, or study time with scheduled app blocking. Add multiple schedules and choose the days and hours when selected apps stay blocked, even if you have minutes left. Overlapping schedules work together: apps stay blocked until all active schedules have ended. Outside these hours, access still depends on your available minutes. 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. ⢠Schedule app blocking for sleep, work, or study, independently of your minute balance. ⢠View your balance, history, and a summary of the last 7 days. ⢠Use a simple interface, with no account and no ads.

Verdict
