## Description

Pull to refresh. Actually pull.

Pick the apps that eat your day, give them an allowance, and when it runs out
they lock. To get back in, you do reps. The camera counts them on your phone.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose the apps. Instagram, TikTok, X, games — whatever you actually lose
   hours to.
2. Set the allowance. So many minutes a day, a few minutes an hour, or nothing
   at all.
3. Run out, and they shut.
4. Do a set. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, pull-ups or jumping jacks.
5. Spend what you earned, on whichever app you were reaching for.

THE COUNTING IS HONEST

Reps are scored from your body's joint positions, not from your phone shaking
in a pocket. A rep only counts on a full movement — down to depth and back —
so half-reps score nothing, and the app tells you why instead of leaving you
guessing. Shaking the phone pays exactly zero.

Time is measured in real use of those apps, not on a clock. Put the phone down
mid-scroll and the minutes you paid for are still there.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE

Pose detection runs on the device. No video is recorded, stored or uploaded,
and there is no account to make. iOS hands the app opaque tokens rather than
names, so it can tell that you picked an app — never what you do inside it.

IT COUNTS TWICE

Finished sets can be saved to Health as workouts, so reps done here go to your
Move ring and show up in Fitness with everything else.

RACE SOMEONE

Put your reps on a public board and chase a friend. Opt-in, under any name you
like, and leaving deletes your row.

PRO

Free covers a whole working loop: one group of apps on a daily allowance, every
exercise, rep counting, Health and the leaderboard. Forever.

Pro makes the lock harder — it never makes it softer:

- Strict mode. A rule you cannot switch off the moment you want to. Changing it
  costs a cooling-off period first, which is exactly when you would have caved.
- Minutes per hour. Short check-ins instead of one long sitting.
- As many rules as you like, with different limits for different apps.
- Your whole history, with streaks.

Money never buys screen time here. Only reps do that.

Pro is a subscription, renewing until cancelled, or a one-off payment for good.
Manage or cancel any time in Settings.

WORTH KNOWING

Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time. You will be asked to grant it on first
launch, and the camera when you do your first set. Deleting the app removes
every lock, whatever you have bought — this is a speed bump you chose, not a
cage.
