About RepRock
RepRock is an iPhone screen-time app that makes time on distracting apps something you earn by moving. You choose which apps to pause, such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and each exercise in the app has a rep or duration target, such as push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, a plank or a walk, that adds minutes to an available balance. Locked apps open while time remains.
The app has Home, Earn and Progress views and a character named Rocky who moves through each set while a counter tracks completed reps. It keeps progress private, with no feed, leaderboard or streak anxiety, and describes itself as a tool rather than a social network.
