CLUSTER DISTRACTING-SCREEN-TIME · 28 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-05-13
Exercise-gated screen time apps
This cluster consists of mobile apps that block distracting apps until users complete physical exercises such as push-ups, squats, runs, or breathing exercises to earn screen time. Entry activity before the index start was sparse in 2024, gradually increased through 2025, and became more frequent from late 2025 through mid-2026. Traction leaders by activity signal are SweatPass, Pushscroll, and PushUp, though all currently show zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
