Spending hours a day in TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts? PawsToScroll is an app blocker that makes you earn your screen time with push-ups and squats. No timer you can dismiss, no "ignore" button — the only way past the block is your own body.
🔒 AN APP BLOCKER WITH NO BYPASS
Pick the apps that eat your day — social media, short video, games, anything on your phone. While your earned balance is at zero, they stay shut. Most screen time apps die on a single "ignore" tap. This one has no bypass button, no snooze, no willpower required.
💪 EARN SCREEN TIME WITH PUSH-UPS AND SQUATS
Every minute of scrolling is paid for with movement. Your camera counts your reps with on-device AI pose detection (Google ML Kit):
• Push-ups
• Squats
No cheating — the counter checks full range of motion, so a half rep won't count. Do a few push-ups, unlock a few minutes. This is screen time you actually earned.
🐱 A WORKOUT BUDDY THAT MOVES WITH YOU
You don't train alone. An animated cat does every push-up and squat beside you, matching you rep for rep — you go down, it goes down. Choose its look in Settings: a classic British Shorthair or the Icon fighter skin. Want zero distraction? Turn it off with one switch.
⚙️ YOU SET THE RULES
• Seconds of screen time earned per push-up — from 5 to 60+
• Seconds earned per squat
• Daily goal in minutes
• Exactly which apps to block, and which to leave alone
📊 SCREEN TIME STATS, NO SELF-DECEPTION
The home screen shows what you earned today, your current balance and how many apps are blocked right now. The real picture — no vanity charts.
🛡️ PRIVACY — 100% ON-DEVICE
• The camera runs only during your workout
• Not a single frame is saved or uploaded
• AI pose detection runs entirely on your phone
• No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads
