HOW IT WORKS

Your phone won't let you scroll until you move.

AI-POWERED PUSH-UP COUNTER
PushUp Time uses real-time camera pose detection to count your reps automatically. No manual counting, no tapping — just exercise and the app tracks every rep.
• Push-ups — counts reps by tracking your elbow angle and body alignment
• Squats — a squat counter with knee-bend depth and form validation
Each exercise includes real-time form checking so every rep counts.
SMART APP BLOCKING
Block any distracting app on your phone:
• Social media — Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Snapchat
• Video streaming — YouTube, Netflix, Twitch
• Gaming — Any mobile game
• News & browsing — Reddit, news apps
• Shopping — Amazon, shopping apps
Your only options when you open a blocked app: exercise or go back. No cheating.
EARN & SPEND SCREEN TIME
Every rep earns you screen time. Use your balance on blocked apps — time counts down while you scroll. When your balance hits zero, the blocker kicks in again. A simple system that turns mindless scrolling into motivation to move.
• Customize reward rates per exercise
• Real-time balance tracking
• Automatic time tracking while using blocked apps
BUILD THE HABIT
• Daily workout reminders at the time you choose
• Weekly summaries — total reps, minutes earned, week-over-week improvement
• Daily activity chart — see which days you were most active
• Voice counting, haptic feedback, and a live pose skeleton overlay
WHY PUSHUP TIME?
Most screen time apps just set timers and hope you comply. PushUp Time is different — it replaces doomscrolling with a fitness habit. Every minute of scrolling costs you a few push-ups. Over time, you scroll less and exercise more.
• Beat phone addiction without relying on willpower
• Build a daily exercise habit effortlessly — the habit tracker that enforces itself
• Turn wasted screen time into real fitness gains
• No gym required — bodyweight calisthenics anywhere
• Privacy-first — all camera processing stays on your device
