About this app

Stop mindless scrolling and build a stronger you. PushUp Time is the ultimate physical app blocker designed to reclaim your productivity through fitness.

Is your screen time out of control? Do you find yourself opening social media apps without even thinking? PushUp Time breaks the cycle of phone addiction by adding a physical "toll" to your distractions. To unlock your favorite apps, you have to earn them—one rep at a time.

DISCIPLINE OVER DISTRACTION
Unlike a standard focus timer or a simple app lock, PushUp Time requires effort. By linking your digital detox to physical exercise, you replace low-value scrolling with high-value movement. It’s the perfect tool for anyone serious about productivity and self-discipline.

KEY FEATURES:
Strict App Blocker: Select the most addictive apps to lock. Choose from social media, games, or streaming platforms.

Earn Your Access: Set a specific number of push-ups required to "buy" minutes of screen time.

Custom Workout Goals: Adjust the difficulty based on your fitness level—from 1 reps to 100.

Focus Mode: Enable strict schedules where apps stay blocked during work or study hours unless you complete your sets.

Progress Tracking: See your screen time drop as your strength increases. Track your daily reps and time saved.

HOW IT TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE:
Most productivity apps are too easy to ignore. PushUp Time works because it introduces "Active Friction." By requiring a daily workout to access entertainment, you:

Stop Impulsive Scrolling: You’ll think twice about opening an app when you know it requires a set of push-ups.

Boost Physical Health: Turn your phone habit into a fitness routine that builds real strength.

Enhance Mental Clarity: Use the boost in blood flow from exercise to improve your focus and concentration.

PERFECT FOR:
Students looking for a study aid to stay off TikTok.

Professionals needing to maximize productivity during the workday.

Fitness fans wanting a unique way to gamify their strength training.

Anyone looking for a digital well-being solution that actually sticks.

Stop scrolling. Start earning. Download PushUp Time and take back control of your time and your health!

I expected this app to have some sort of subscription, but its completely free!!! this is great because I was using the feature my phone had to block certain apps, but then it wouldn't allow me to see notifications from those apps either. With this I keep priorities straight when clicking into an app because I know I have to work for my time, so I don't end up watching reels when I planned to just text someone.

Gotta say, best app and choice I've ever made. The app is really free, unless you want to pay premium for more determined stuff. It's simple and easy to use. This app is a example of what other apps should be. It's not bombarding you with ads, false advertising, or other features you gotta pay for. The only thing I would add would be to make the sit ups easier to use or get in frame. And to add different types of curls, lunges, and plank or koba stretch types of exercises.

the app is easy to configure. You can adjust the blocking time for each exercise and which app you want to block. the AI has a fairly accurate detection and counts the repetitions out loud. The premium subscription isn't expensive compared to other similar apps. It's totally worth it to pay.
