How it works

A simple loop that makes wasting time feel expensive.

EarnScroll changes the default. Your favorite apps stay blocked until you complete something good for your body or brain.

01

Block the apps that eat your attention

Pick the apps that hijack your day. EarnScroll uses Apple’s Screen Time controls to keep them locked until you’ve earned your next session.

02

Choose the kind of effort you want

Hit push-ups, knock out squats, stack steps, or go outside. You decide the habit, the threshold, and how much screen time it unlocks.

03

Unlock apps with momentum, not guilt

Finish the habit, get your minutes, and use them intentionally. When the time runs out, the lock comes back and the cycle resets.

Habit types

Four ways to earn your next dopamine hit.

Strength

Push-ups and squats turn friction into fuel.

Instead of trying to “use less phone” through willpower, EarnScroll gives your body the first move. Quick reps, instant reward, better habits.

  • Live rep counting with pose tracking
  • Perfect for quick resets between work blocks
  • Every rep can map directly to minutes earned

Outside / Movement

Touch grass, walk more, and break the indoor loop.

Some unlocks should pull you away from the couch, not keep you on it. EarnScroll can reward outdoor resets and Apple Health activity with real screen time.

  • Touch-grass photo missions for a literal reset
  • Steps can sync through Apple Health
  • Great for building “go outside first” routines
Why it hits different

This isn’t another nagging productivity app.

Immediate

The reward is instant, so the habit loop actually sticks.

Physical

Your body has to do something real before the apps come back.

Funny enough to work

“Touch grass to unlock TikTok” is weird, memorable, and surprisingly effective.

Cheap compared to the hours you get back.
