The loop

How it works

Three moves. No subscriptions to feel guilty about. No streak shame.

1

Move

Do a quick exercise snack. Your camera counts reps with on-device MediaPipe pose detection — no video leaves your phone.

2

Earn

Every rep adds seconds to your time wallet. Tasks like making the bed or washing the dishes earn more. No effort, no scrolling.

3

Use

Spend earned time on the apps you blocked. Watch the wallet drain in real time. Run out, move again.

See it in action

Built for habit, not theatre.

Every screen is designed to make movement faster than the alternative.

The science behind it

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.
Move first. EarnTime. Use apps intentionally.
