I built an app that makes you do push-ups to unlock social media

I’ve been working on an app called ScrollBank because I realized normal screen time limits don’t really work for me.

The idea is simple:

  • you choose the distracting apps you want to control
  • you get a daily screen time budget
  • when that budget is gone, the app locks those apps
  • if you want more time, you do push-ups and earn minutes back

So instead of just feeling guilty about doomscrolling, you actually have to work for it.

I’m trying to make it feel more like a discipline tool than a generic productivity app.

I’d genuinely love feedback from people into fitness / self-improvement:

  • Does this concept sound motivating or annoying?
  • Would you use something like this for TikTok / Instagram / Shorts?
  • What would make it actually fun enough to keep using?

I’m not here to spam — I’m really trying to understand whether this is a stupid idea or something people would actually want.
