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!

Amazing app, was addicted to social media and games but this app forced me to work for my screen time, definitely recommend this app if you can't control yourself and glued to the screen for hours. But it does have some bugs, like I had 20 minutes of screen time, so I did some pushups, like 10 reps, and it was still 20 minutes when it should have been 40 (2 min per pushup) Other then that it's a great way to reduce screen time and be more productive.

It won't stop crashing, it's perfect but if I tab out it just stops working and stops limiting the time, so I have to tab back into the app to make it work again a bit. Update: After further use, it's apparent that the app specifically crashes while I'm using a restricted app. It barely fails on other apps.

As a 16 year old who has 2 hours of Instagram a day I love this app as it is free to use, no subscriptions whatsoever! I understand that this is probably a new app and is still in progress of updating to make it even better than it is now. Some features I'd like to see in the future is having the minutes turned down lower than 1 min per rep to maybe 30 sec or even 15 seconds. I would also like the statistics side of the app to have an all time record of how many total reps you have done.
