What is RepsForReels?

RepsForReels is a mobile app that blocks social media access until you complete physical exercises. Using AI-powered pose detection, the app verifies pushups, squats, and other exercises in real-time, then rewards you with screen time minutes. The core concept is "No reps, no reels" - you earn your scroll time through physical activity.

How does the exercise detection work?

RepsForReels uses advanced AI-powered pose detection that runs entirely on your device. Your camera analyzes your body position in real-time to count reps accurately. No videos are ever recorded or uploaded - all processing happens locally for complete privacy.

RepsForReels includes a free 3-day trial with full access to all Pro features — the best way to try a screen time blocker and digital detox app risk-free. After the trial, a Pro subscription unlocks unlimited exercise sessions, all conversion rates, unlimited app blocking, and an ad-free experience. Plans start at $29.99/year or $4.99/month.

How is RepsForReels different from other screen time apps?

Most screen time apps like Opal, ScreenZen, and Freedom rely on willpower — they block apps but give you nothing in return. RepsForReels is the only app blocker that rewards exercise with screen time. Instead of just locking your phone, it uses AI pose detection to verify real pushups and squats, then earns you minutes to scroll. It's positive reinforcement vs. pure restriction — and it builds a workout habit as a side effect.

Which exercises are supported?

Currently, RepsForReels supports pushups and squats with real-time AI detection. More exercises including jumping jacks, lunges, and sit-ups are being added regularly based on user feedback.

Is my camera data private?

Absolutely. All pose detection happens locally on your device using on-device machine learning. Your camera feed is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. RepsForReels is designed with privacy as a core principle.

Can I customize which apps get blocked?

Yes! You choose exactly which apps to restrict. Block Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), Snapchat, or any other app you want. You have full control over your digital diet and can change settings anytime.
