Earn your scroll. Pushtank locks the apps that eat your day and gives the time back one push-up at a time. One push-up = one minute of screen time. When your tank runs dry, the apps you chose lock again until you move. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that drain you: social media, videos, games, anything on your phone. • Do push-ups in front of your phone. The camera counts every rep, live, right on the device. • Each push-up pours a minute into your tank. Using a blocked app drains it. • Tank empty? The apps lock. A few push-ups and you're back. EVERY PUSH-UP COUNTS Prop your phone on the floor and go. Pushtank follows your movement, counts each full rep with a ding and tells you when to go lower. Knee push-ups count too. YOUR RULES • Sort your apps into groups and choose how fast each one drains the tank. • Decide what a push-up is worth. • Get a heads-up before your tank runs dry, and one reminder a day for your set. SEE THE DIFFERENCE Follow your sets, your best weeks and the hours of social media you win back. NO GYM NEEDED Your living room is enough. No equipment, no account, no sign-up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Camera images are analyzed on your phone, never recorded and never sent. The names of the apps you block never leave your device. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time, which you authorize once. STOP ANYTIME One button lifts every restriction Pushtank ever applied. It is always within reach, and never behind a paywall. SUBSCRIPTION A subscription is required to use Pushtank: weekly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://pushtank.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://pushtank.app/privacy
