I built an app where you LITERALLY have to do push-ups to use Reddit (or whatever app).

My guy, this is the summer you get SWOLE! Build a massive chest instead of doomscrolling on Hackernews.

Also, it's FREE. You can set it on a schedule. You can set it on a time limit. You can set it after X opens. Or even after you come home from work.

The apps will remain blocked until you do your push-ups!

The app is built natively on SwiftUI. I use Apple's native Vision API to detect body parts and joints. I use Apple's Screen Time API for app blocking.

I don't know what else to say so go on now and get the app!!

I’m a bit confused… it’s not Free

What do you mean? Are you unable to get to the main screen after the personalization survey?

You should find the feature by tapping: “Add rule”, then select one of our rule types, then select “friction”, and look for “push-ups”

If for some reason you’re stuck, you can also hold down the app and there will be an option to “try for free” which should take you straight into the app

That worked - but within the app after going through the walkthrough I didn’t see a way out of the subscription screen
