Convert effort into screen time.
Distracting apps stay blocked until you earn unlock time — with push-ups, squats, planks, or real-world tasks. Move first. Use apps intentionally.
How it works
Three moves. No subscriptions to feel guilty about. No streak shame.
Move
Do a quick exercise snack. Your camera counts reps with on-device MediaPipe pose detection — no video leaves your phone.
Earn
Every rep adds seconds to your time wallet. Tasks like making the bed or washing the dishes earn more. No effort, no scrolling.
Use
Spend earned time on the apps you blocked. Watch the wallet drain in real time. Run out, move again.
Built for habit, not theatre.
Every screen is designed to make movement faster than the alternative.
Why short bouts work.
EarnTime is built around a simple idea: short, repeatable actions can build better habits than waiting for one big workout. Instead of asking you to commit to long sessions, screen-time moments become tiny opportunities for movement — a few push-ups, squats, a plank, or a real-world task before unlocking distracting apps.
Concept Exercise snacks
Short bouts of physical activity distributed throughout the day. A 2025 systematic review found that exercise snacks may improve cardiometabolic health and are easy to integrate into daily life — especially for people who struggle to fit traditional workouts into their routine.
Practice Grease the Groove
Frequent submaximal sets without going to failure. The goal isn't exhaustion — it's repetition, consistency, and better technique. For bodyweight exercises like push-ups and squats, this approach builds real confidence and routine.
Micro-workouts don't replace a complete training program — they lower the barrier to movement. EarnTime combines this with behavioral design: instead of screen time being automatic, it becomes something you earn through real-world effort.
- Short sessions reduce friction.
- Repeated movement builds consistency.
- Rewards create immediate feedback.
- Blocked apps trigger healthier actions.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
