About RepsForReels
RepsForReels is a screen time reduction app that locks social media until you earn the time back. Earn it with pushups and squats counted by on-device AI — or connect Apple Health and let your everyday activity earn it automatically.
What is RepsForReels?
RepsForReels is a screen time reduction app built on one simple idea: scrolling should have a price, and movement should pay it.
The core concept is "No reps, no reels." Want to scroll Instagram or TikTok? First earn the time — do some pushups while the camera counts your reps with on-device AI (nothing is uploaded or recorded), or connect Apple Health and let your walks, workouts and active energy bank screen time automatically.
Instead of fighting your phone with willpower alone, you set a daily goal and earn your way past it. Going over your limit costs more to earn — gentle pressure that gradually shrinks the scroll.

The Problem We Solve
The average person spends 5-6 hours daily on their smartphone, with a significant portion spent on social media apps. This "doomscrolling" habit has been linked to increased anxiety, decreased productivity, poor sleep quality, and reduced physical activity.
Traditional screen time limits don't work for most people because they rely on willpower. When a timer expires, it's too easy to tap "ignore" and keep scrolling. RepsForReels takes a different approach.
Instead of punishment-based restrictions, we create a reward-based system where physical activity becomes the key to unlock your favorite apps. Users don't just reduce screen time - they actively improve their physical health.
