Description

Move first. Scroll later.

Instead of restricting yourself with willpower alone, MoveFirst ties your screen time to physical activity, every workout you complete earns minutes you can spend on the apps you want to limit. Need minutes right now? Do a quick set of pushups or squats in front of your camera. Spend less time on distracting apps and more time being active.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose which apps to block: social media, news, games, anything you want to use less.

2. Set a daily activity goal from 1 minute to 2 hours. You decide what counts: running, walking, cycling, strength training, yoga, hiking, swimming, HIIT.

3. Workouts sync through Apple Health. MoveFirst reads activity automatically from any Health-connected app - Apple Watch, Strava, Strong, Peloton, Whoop, and many more. No manual logging.

4. Or earn on the spot with an Instant Workout. Do pushups or squats in front of your camera and your reps are counted as you go. Every set earns minutes and counts toward your daily goal and streak.

5. Spend earned minutes. When a blocked app is opened, you'll see a screen with your current balance of screen time minutes earned. Tap to spend a few minutes, or close the app and earn more first.

FEATURES
• Instant Workouts - do pushups or squats in front of your camera and earn minutes on the spot, no fitness app needed
• Daily goal and streaks - track consistency and build a real habit
• Fitness and screen-time insights - track your progress, balance, and trends over time
• Hard mode - require yourself to hit your daily goal before any screen time is earned
• Customisable reward rules - weight each activity to match your goals. Earn more for strength training than walking, or boost the yoga rate when you're focused on flexibility.
• Emergency override - when you really need an app, get 15 minutes of access once a day, then it's locked again

ON YOUR TERMS

MoveFirst is a personal self-management tool for adults (18+). You choose which apps to block, you set the goal, and you control when to spend your earned minutes. It is not a parental control app and is not for managing anyone else's device.

PRIVACY

MoveFirst reads workout data from Apple Health solely to compute your rewards. We do not read heart rate, sleep, GPS routes, or body measurements. Instant Workouts count your reps on your phone. No video is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere, and camera access is optional. We do not sell your data. We use privacy-conscious product analytics and App Store campaign reporting to improve onboarding, subscriptions, and marketing performance; workout data, whether from Apple Health or the camera, is not shared with analytics providers or used for ad targeting.
