About Scroll Patrol
Scroll Patrol puts the apps you lose hours to behind a workout. Pick the apps that pull you in. They stay locked until you have minutes to spend on them — and the only way to get minutes is to move. EARN TIME WITH YOUR BODY Push-ups, squats, jumping jacks and planks are counted by your camera, automatically, while you move. Prop your phone up, start a set, and watch the count climb. No wearable, no manual logging, no honour system. Prefer to walk? Scroll Patrol reads your steps and distance from Apple Health and turns them into minutes too. That happens in the background — no workout to start. SPEND IT WHERE IT MATTERS Earned minutes go into one balance. You decide which app gets them. Give Instagram fifteen minutes, keep the rest for later, or spend the lot in one go. MINUTES YOU ACTUALLY USED Time counts down while you are in the app, and stops when you leave it. Put your phone in your pocket and your minutes are still there when you come back. Every patrolled app shows how much is left, and warns you a minute before it locks. Adding time tops up what is already there rather than starting over. NO QUIZ. NO ACCOUNT. NO WAITING. No twenty-screen questionnaire, no "calculating your personalised plan", no email address. Three short screens and you are picking apps. You can be earning minutes within a minute of opening it for the first time. PRICED TO BE KEPT Apps in this category routinely ask $10-15 a month. Scroll Patrol is $2.99 a month with the first week free, $24.99 a year, or $49.99 once for life. Every version includes everything; there is no higher tier and nothing is held back. BUILT TO STAY ON YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up, no server. Camera frames are analysed on device and never recorded, saved or sent anywhere. Your exercise history, your Health data and your app choices stay on your phone. Purchases go directly to Apple. We have nothing to sell because we collect nothing. Scroll Patrol uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls APIs to lock apps, and Apple Health to read steps and walking distance. Both require your permission, and both can be turned off at any time. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Scroll Patrol Pro is $2.99 per month, which begins with a 7-day free trial, or $24.99 per year, or $49.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings inside the app, or in your Apple Account settings.

What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated October 14, 2026
Cheapest sheriff in town! IMPROVED EXERCISE COUNTING Push-ups now measure shoulder descent correctly in a portrait frame, so reps with tucked elbows count. Squats count from about a half squat rather than needing full depth. Jumping jacks need the feet to move as well as the arms, so waving your hands no longer counts. The "stand up and face the phone" check now passes when you are square to the camera. FIXES • The Privacy Policy link in Settings now opens the actual privacy policy • Settings shows the real version number instead of always saying 1.0.0 • The screen after finishing an exercise follows your light or dark setting • "Reset Available Minutes at Midnight" no longer skips a day
