Push Up Time: Refocus
Freed from screen time. Rooted
Free · Designed for iPad
Push Up Time — Turn scrolling into effort
Push Up Time is a gentle but honest way to rethink how you use your phone.
It’s built on a simple idea inspired by atomic habits:
small actions, repeated consistently, shape long-term behavior.
Instead of blocking apps or forcing streaks, Push Up Time helps you slow down, refocus, and make intentional choices about your screen time.
A calmer approach to screen time control
Many of us open apps on autopilot — the insta feed, endless insta scroll, short videos, news loops, or social media habits that feel loopy and hard to break.
Push Up Time doesn’t judge those habits.
It creates a pause before them.
Before you scroll, you earn time through movement.
Before you spend time, you name what you’re spending it on.
That moment of awareness is often enough to refocus.
How it works
Earn minutes through movement
Do push-ups or push-press style bodyweight reps to earn screen time.
Your effort becomes your currency.
Bank your time
Earned minutes are stored in your personal time bank.
You can withdraw time when you choose to scroll, watch, or browse.
Start a session intentionally
When starting a session, you can reflect on what you’re spending time on — social media, video, messaging, or something else.
This small pause helps you be present instead of reactive.
Honest accountability
If your time runs out, the session ends.
If you borrow time, you’ll need to earn it back later.
There are no punishments, just clear feedback.
Designed for awareness, not pressure
Push Up Time is not built around streaks or performance metrics.
There are no aggressive goals, no daily streak pressure, and no comparison to others.
Instead, it supports:
mindfulness around screen use
gradual habit change
staying grounded and rooted in your own choices
noticing patterns without judgment
It’s okay to be mellow.
It’s okay to go slow.
Digital wellbeing without extremes
This app is for people who want to:
reduce mindless scrolling
feel more freed from automatic habits
practice digital wellbeing
create healthier routines
feel more rooted and calm
reconnect with a balanced somatic state
be well without quitting technology entirely
Some users describe it as a way to gently dumbify their phone — not by removing apps, but by changing how often and how intentionally they use them.
More than productivity
Push Up Time isn’t about doing more.
It’s about:
slowing down
noticing when habits take over
choosing when to engage
allowing space for healing and reflection
Over time, many users find that fewer sessions are needed — not because of rules, but because awareness grows.

Who this app is for
Push Up Time is for people who want to:
feel more in control of screen time
break habitual insta scrolling
refocus without rigid blockers
build better habits gradually
support mindfulness in daily life
be present with their time
It’s not about restriction.

Start where you are
You don’t need perfect discipline.
You don’t need long streaks.
Just start with one moment of intention.
That’s often enough.
