Stoppy: App Blocker & Focus

Codepulse Labs

About this app

Stoppy is a screen time app and app blocker that helps you reduce phone addiction, stop doomscrolling, and build healthier digital habits through movement. Block the distracting apps that pull you in, then earn your screen time back with push-ups, steps, and workouts. Move first, scroll later.

Most app blockers just lock you out and hope you stay strong. Stoppy offers a better deal: do the work, earn the time. By requiring real movement before access to distracting apps, Stoppy helps reduce screen time naturally. Every push-up, every step, and every workout becomes coins you spend to unlock blocked apps for a limited window. When the time runs out, they lock again — so you stay in control without thinking about it.

HOW STOPPY WORKS
- Pick the distracting apps you want to block
- Earn coins with push-ups, steps, and exercise
- Spend coins to unlock those apps for a set time
- When time's up, the apps lock automatically

Move → earn → unlock → refocus. A simple loop that puts a physical step between you and the scroll, so you pause and decide if the app is really worth it.

WHAT YOU CAN BLOCK
Block Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Snapchat, and any other apps that pull you in. You choose exactly which apps to lock — Stoppy never touches the rest.
