Less phone. More life.

Earn your scroll.

Your social apps stay locked until you pay the tax: pushups, steps or a finished workout. No willpower required. No “ignore limit” button.

How it works

Three ways to pay the tax.

Pick the apps that steal your time. They stay locked until you pay. Each payment buys screen time, then they lock again.

Strength

Pushups

1 minutefor every pushup

Your camera counts every rep.

Movement

Steps

10 minutesfor every 1,000 steps

Apple Health keeps the score.

Discipline

Training

2 hoursfor 1 gym session

Train first, scroll later.

00:00Every night, back to zero

No saving minutes for later.

Your balance resets at midnight. Most people start the day scrolling in bed. You start it with ten pushups, and by then you don’t even want to.

Why it works

A limit with no cost is just a suggestion.

76 daysa year disappear at 5 hours of screen time a day. Full 24-hour days.

1 tapis all a Screen Time limit asks before you’re back in the feed.

1 pushupbuys one minute of Instagram and TikTok here. Suddenly, scrolling has a price.

Why I’m building this

I beat one addiction. My phone was the next one.

October 2020 was my last drink. Best decision I ever made. What nobody told me: the habit doesn’t disappear. It moves. Mine moved into my pocket.

So I made scrolling cost something real. Every minute on Instagram or TikTok costs me one pushup or 100 steps. A full gym session buys me two hours. That one rule did more than every blocker I’d tried. Now I’m turning it into an app.

Questions

Can’t I just cheat?

You can always delete any app, of course. The point is that cheating takes more effort than the pushups.

Can I save minutes for later?

No. Your balance goes back to zero every night at midnight, so you can’t do 300 pushups on Sunday and scroll free all week. Every day starts with the tax.

When does it launch?

Founding members get access first. I’ll email you as soon as the first version is ready.
