About GetUp: Walk to unlock apps
You pick up your phone to check one notification. Forty-five minutes later you're deep in a TikTok spiral about a man who lives in an airport. Your screen time report says 6 hours. You feel terrible. Again...
Sound familiar?
Screen time limits don't work. You set a cap, and when it pops up you tap "dismiss" without thinking. You've tried this before. Willpower is not a strategy. You need friction.
GetUp adds that friction. One rule: walk first, scroll later.
π YOUR APPS ARE LOCKED. EARN THEM BACK.
GetUp locks Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X β whatever is eating your life. To unlock them, you walk. Every step earns screen time. No steps? No scrolling.
π± HOW IT WORKS
β Pick which apps to lock β you decide what gets blocked
β Set your effort level β Gentle, Balanced, or Ambitious
β Walk throughout your day β steps become screen time automatically
β Spend earned minutes β unlock apps when you've put in the work
β Hit your daily goal β everything unlocks for the rest of the day
This isn't another timer you'll just ignore. You physically can't scroll until you move.
π WHAT MAKES GETUP DIFFERENT
Most screen time apps are glorified timers. GetUp is a game.
β 44 Achievement Milestones β Earn bonus screen time for targets like "First 10K" (10,000 steps = 30 bonus minutes), "Marathon Day" (42,195 steps = 3 hours), or "The Hundred" (100-day streak = 8 hours). Every milestone is a reward.
β 3 Effort Levels β Gentle (5,000 steps), Balanced (8,000), Ambitious (12,000). Not everyone's the same. Pick your difficulty.
β Time Wallet β Allocate minutes to individual apps. 15 min Instagram, 10 min TikTok. Strategic spending, not mindless access.
β Weekly Reviews β Every Monday see your week: steps, time earned vs. spent, streaks. See the pattern. Change it.
β Streaks β Hit your goal every day and your streak grows. Miss? It resets. The pressure is real.
π― PERFECT FOR
β’ Doomscrollers averaging 5+ hours of screen time daily
β’ Students who lose study sessions to TikTok
β’ People who "should walk more" but need a reason
β’ Anyone honest enough to admit their phone is a problem
β’ Parents who want teens earning screen time, not just wasting it
π YOUR MOVE
Your apps are locked. Your shoes are waiting. Download GetUp and start walking.
