Stoppy: App Blocker & Focus

Stoppy helps you reduce mindless scrolling by turning movement into earned screen time.

Instead of opening distracting apps on autopilot, you unlock them with effort. Do push-ups, walk more steps, and complete workouts to earn coins, then use those coins to unlock the apps you want for a limited time.

Stoppy is built for people who want a more active and intentional relationship with their phone.

How Stoppy works

- Choose which apps you want to block

- Earn coins through push-ups, steps, and exercise

- Spend coins to unlock blocked apps for a limited time

- When time runs out, the apps lock again

Move first, scroll later

Stoppy creates a simple loop:

- earn

- unlock

- refocus

Instead of relying only on willpower, Stoppy adds a physical step between temptation and action. That makes it easier to pause, think, and decide whether the app is really worth opening.
