How it works
A short workout stands between you and the next scroll.

Select distracting apps and websites with Apple’s Screen Time picker.
Do a quick set
Pick push-ups, squats or a plank. The camera counts your reps or your hold time.
Use the time you earned
Each workout adds unlock time to your balance. You spend it in short sessions on the apps you blocked.
The camera is used only to detect movement and count reps or hold time. Video isn’t recorded, stored or uploaded.
