Blocks distracting apps until real exercise, verified by on-device AI, earns back screen time.
Grounded in available product and source data
Standard screen time limits are easy to override with a tap; this app takes a different approach built to earn screen time through exercise instead, locking selected apps behind a requirement to actually move before access unlocks.
On-device AI pose detection is what makes the requirement hard to fake — it verifies exercises like pushups, squats, or overhead reaches in real time rather than trusting a manual check-in, and no wearable device is needed to track the movement. Eight or more exercise types are listed, spanning classic pushups and squats through memory tiles and a step counter, so the requirement isn't limited to one repetitive motion. Every completed rep or step converts into screen-time minutes that get banked, up to a stated maximum of 120 minutes, and spent on whichever blocked app the user chooses.
Blocking works by individual app or by category, and a Strict Mode adds cooldowns or partner approval for anyone who needs a harder limit to actually stick — an acknowledgment that the base version alone may not be enough friction for everyone. Usage tracking and streaks sit alongside the blocking mechanism, framed around building a habit rather than a single one-off intervention.
The site states the app is free to use and cites 30k+ users with a 4.8 rating, though it doesn't specify whether any features sit behind a paid tier as usage grows. It's available on both Google Play and the App Store. Anyone relying on Strict Mode's partner-approval option should confirm how that's set up, since the site doesn't detail the process for adding an accountability partner on the page itself.
The site states it uses on-device AI camera tracking to verify exercises like squats or pushups in real time, which is specifically meant to make the requirement harder to fake than a simple manual check-in or timer.
The site states a maximum daily bank of 120 minutes (2 hours) of screen time, earned through completed reps or steps and spent on whichever blocked app the user chooses.
According to the site, Strict Mode adds cooldowns or partner approval for extra accountability — an option for anyone who finds the standard exercise-to-unlock trade isn't enough friction to actually change their scrolling habit on its own.
The site states it is free to use, though it doesn't specify on the page whether any features are limited or reserved for a paid tier as usage grows — worth checking directly for anyone planning to rely on it long-term. Availability may change, so it's worth checking current details before relying on it long-term.
