Earn your scroll.
Pawse blocks your most distracting apps until you earn them back with real movement. A few squats or push-ups, and your screen time unlocks. It's not about willpower — it's about building a healthier relationship with your phone, one rep at a time.
Download on the App StoreHow it works
1. Choose what to block
Pick the apps that eat your day — social media, games, whatever pulls you in. Pawse uses Apple's Screen Time to lock them.
2. Hit the wall
When you open a blocked app, Pawse steps in with a friendly shield instead. No shame — just a nudge.
3. Move to unlock
Do a few squats or push-ups. Your camera counts your reps on-device, and each rep earns you screen time.
Features
Movement Unlocks Screen Time
Squats and push-ups counted in real time by on-device pose detection. Every rep earns minutes — you set the exchange rate.
Block What Distracts You
Choose individual apps or entire categories to block. Powered by Apple's Screen Time, so it works system-wide.
Your Camera Never Leaves Your Phone
Rep counting runs entirely on your device. No video, no photos, nothing about your workout is ever uploaded.
Meet Mochi
Your workout buddy cheers you on through every rep and celebrates every unlock. Encouragement, never guilt.
Track Your Progress
See lifetime reps, screen time earned, and your streak. Watch a small daily habit add up over time.
Emergency Break
Need through right now? A limited daily emergency unlock is there when you truly need it — so Pawse helps, never traps.
