Question 1

How does RepsForReels work?

Accepted Answer

RepsForReels blocks access to social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube until you complete physical exercises. You set your exchange rate (e.g. 10 pushups = 15 minutes), do the reps while the on-device AI verifies your form in real-time, then scroll guilt-free. Users report completing an average of 150–300 pushups per day — exercise they would never have done otherwise.

Question 2

Does RepsForReels use AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RepsForReels uses on-device machine learning to count your reps and verify exercise form in real-time. If your squat isn't deep enough, it doesn't count. All processing happens on-device for privacy and speed — no video is ever uploaded to a server. Research on exercise-based friction shows it can reduce mindless social media use by 40–60% within the first week.

Question 3

Is RepsForReels available on Android?

Accepted Answer

RepsForReels is currently available on iOS via the App Store (App ID: 6755953205). An Android version for Google Play is in development and coming soon.

Question 4

Can I bypass the screen time lock?

Accepted Answer

In Hard Lock mode, no. RepsForReels prevents uninstalling or force-closing the app until your reps are done. There's an Emergency Scroll feature that grants 5 minutes of access, but it requires completing 50 burpees as a penalty afterward — or you lose access for 24 hours. This accountability system is what makes RepsForReels significantly more effective than passive screen time limits.

Question 5

What exercises can I do to earn screen time?

Accepted Answer

RepsForReels supports pushups, squats, and burpees. The AI form correction works for all three exercises, verifying depth, posture, and range of motion in real-time. You can set different exercise types and rep counts for different apps — for example, 20 squats for Instagram and 15 pushups for YouTube.

Question 6

How is RepsForReels different from other screen time blockers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike passive blockers like Apple Screen Time or One Sec, RepsForReels requires physical effort to unlock apps — making it the only screen time blocker that accepts sweat as currency. This active friction approach is backed by behavioral science: studies show that adding physical cost to a behavior reduces its frequency far more effectively than time-based limits alone. RepsForReels also syncs every workout to Apple Health and Google Fit, turning your scrolling habit into a fitness routine.
