ScrollMint vs LockIn

Earn your screen time. Don't just burn it. Lock the apps that eat your day — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reels, whatever owns you — then earn every minute back with your body, your focus or one small healthy act. 3 ways, 20+ options, no daily cap. Your phone hands you unlimited scrolling for free and quietly takes your hours, your attention and your evenings in return. ScrollMint changes the deal: an app blocker that makes you earn the unlock. Doomscrolling isn't free anymore. Move more. Scroll less. Earn your scroll back. Willpower isn't the plan — the exchange rate is. When a scroll costs a set of squats, you scroll less. And when you've earned it, you enjoy it, guilt-free. HOW IT WORKS — ONE HONEST LOOP 1. LOCK. Pick the apps that steal your day. ScrollMint shields them with Apple's Screen Time technology, so the block holds even when your willpower doesn't. One tap on the shield takes you to earning. 2. EARN. Bank minutes three ways: • MOVE — your camera counts real reps: push-ups, diamond push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks and a squat hold. Live form feedback, no wearables. Easy moves earn 1 minute a rep, harder ones 2, diamond push-ups 3. The video never leaves your phone. • FOCUS — run a Deep Work, Pomodoro, Study or Custom session (5 to 120 minutes) and earn while you concentrate. Guided breathing and follow-along yoga pay 5×: one mindful minute buys five. • HABITS — prove a small healthy habit with a quick photo: drink water, eat something real, touch grass, nature time, make your bed, clean your desk, hang out, smile. Each earns 2 to 5 minutes and can be repeated. Verified on your device, never uploaded. 3. SPEND. Trade banked minutes to unlock your apps for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes. Purchases stack. When the time runs out, the apps re-lock automatically — even if one is still open. Past you stays in charge. WHY IT WORKS WHEN BLOCKERS DON'T Timers and "are you sure?" pop-ups are easy to swipe away. A price isn't. Most screen time apps give you one lever — a hard block or a single way to unlock. ScrollMint gives you three, so the deal fits the day you're having: a workout, a focused hour or a glass of water. Self control with a scoreboard, not a lecture. MADE FOR THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE ACTUALLY SEARCH FOR • Doomscrolling and mindless scrolling at night • Phone addiction and social media addiction • Blocking Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Reels without deleting them • A dopamine detox or digital detox that lasts longer than a weekend • Screen time limits that survive the ignore button • Distraction-free focus for study, deep work or Pomodoro • Procrastination that starts with "just one scroll" WHAT YOU GET • Time Bank — every minute earned and spent, in one honest ledger • A daily goal you set (15 to 360 minutes), streaks and personal bests • On-device rep counting with live form feedback — no wearables, no equipment • Reliable re-locking built on Apple Screen Time • Live Activities: follow your session from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island • A demo of the loop before you start • No daily caps — earn as much as you're willing to work for • Private by design — camera and photo checks happen on your device, not in the cloud.

Temporarily block distracting apps and websites while you focus. Choose the apps, categories, and websites that pull your attention, start a Focus Timer or Pomodoro, and LockIn uses Apple’s Screen Time technology to shield them for the duration of your session. Blocking continues if you leave LockIn or lock your phone. When the timer ends, everything unlocks automatically. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS WITH A TIMER • Select apps, complete categories, or specific websites using Apple’s private activity picker • Set a custom session lasting anywhere from 2 minutes to several hours • Keep blocking active while using other apps or while your phone is locked • See a clean Screen Time shield when you try opening a selected app • Automatically remove every shield when your session finishes • Use Strict Mode to help prevent ending a session early THREE WAYS TO LOCK IN FOCUS TIMER Start one protected deep-work session. Choose your duration, block your distractions, and remain focused until the countdown ends. POMODORO Work and rest in structured rounds. Begin with the classic 25-minute focus and 5-minute break routine, or customize the intervals to suit your workflow. Your selected apps and websites remain shielded throughout the routine, including its breaks. MEDITATE Choose 5, 10, or 15 minutes, or create your own duration. Play calming ambient sound, breathe, reset, and return sharper. Meditate mode does not block apps, so you can use it as a simple calming timer.
