Push Up Time support
Questions about blocking, rep counting or a purchase? Email the developer directly.
It helps to include:
- Your iPhone or iPad model and iOS version
- What you tried and what happened
- A screenshot, if it shows the problem
Changing which apps are blocked
Open Push Up Time and change your selection in the Screen Time picker. You can also revoke the app’s Screen Time permission in iOS Settings at any time.
If reps aren’t counted
Place your iPhone so the camera can see you, make sure there’s enough light, and follow the on-screen prompt to get in position.
How earned time works
Each push-up, squat or plank adds unlock time to your screen time balance. You spend that balance in short sessions on the apps and websites you blocked.
The camera and your privacy
The camera is used only to detect movement and count reps or hold time. Video isn’t recorded, stored or uploaded. You can turn off camera access for Push Up Time in iOS Settings at any time.
Devices
Push Up Time is for iPhone with iOS 17 or later. There’s no iPad version.
