Trade a scroll for a little movement

Choose the apps that distract you, set a workout challenge, and unlock them for a time window you control.

Block distracting apps

Use Apple Screen Time to shield the apps you choose when you want to focus.

Exercise to unlock

Complete push-ups, squats, lunges, high knees, jumping jacks, or a plank to earn access time.

Choose your challenge

Set an exercise and target that feel right for the moment, then earn a 15, 30, or 60 minute unlock.

Private by design

App selection and workout history stay on your device. Camera pose detection runs on device too.

Build a healthier streak

See your completed sessions and keep track of the days you chose movement over scrolling.

Start with the basics

Start with app blocking, push-up counting, and a plank timer. CheerUp Pro adds camera rep counting and more exercises.
