clearspace - Pushups to earn screen time

Clearspace now makes it harder to mindlessly scroll by charging an entrance fee for opening your apps - physical exercise. Unlock your apps with pushups, squats, or steps.

Tools for changing our digital environment.. I love it! Great vision! Are there any ideas to implement stretching for those that may be injured orrrr entire 10 or 30 minute workout plans?

Congrats on the launch! This is the best solution I've ever found. It encourages you to either be fit or to lower your on-screen time. Best of both worlds

Congrats on the launch! Tried this out for a day and will definitely continue using it. That being said, I have a few suggestions: - Allow the exercises as a persistent setting separate from challenges. As someone using this app just by myself, I'd love to be able to have this option and not have to start another challenge every 7 days to access this feature. Then I could also configure my settings without resetting my earned minutes and tracked progress - Allow choice of an exercise at the time of unlock (e.g. unlock for 5 minutes with 5 squats or 5 pushups). This would be good for getting some exercise variety and rest days - Put a short timeout on the exercise detection. I had a couple instances where I finished one pushup and it tracked it as 3 in rapid succession. While getting the tracking perfect is a tricky task, I think at least putting a timeout for the amount of time a person can realistically complete one rep would help drastically. All that being said, I love the app so far and definitely see it helping out my exercise and screen time habits! Feel free to reach out to me if you're ever doing any further testing/research.

Accountability partners is huge! Even if they aren't actively tracking me, the social pressure to maintain my streak is super helpful

This app will make gyms extinct, great idea - maybe introduce other exercises besides push-ups?

Congrats on the launch! The idea is very cool. Downloaded the app and tested it, feels smooth. I am curious about the tech stack. Is it a native app or a hybrid? Personally, I use Flutter. For this kind of app which requires some native API's such as FamilyActivity or ScreenTime I don't know if it would be the best pick tho.

To be honest, I'm not someone who likes to exercise regularly, but this tool seems quite interesting to try because it's very practical and makes me want to try more active exercise. Thank you for making this quite practical tool
