Looking for a free PushScroll alternative?
MyRepsCount does the same job — your social apps stay blocked until you have actually worked out — and the blocking is free on iPhone and Android. You choose what gets blocked and what it takes to unlock it.
The short answer
Stick with PushScroll if…
- You like a toll per scroll: each pushup buys a set number of minutes.
- You want your steps to earn app time too.
- Levels, collectibles, and a community challenge keep you going.
Try MyRepsCount if…
- You want app blocking without a subscription.
- You want the workout that unlocks your phone to be a real workout, not the same pushups every day.
- You also want somewhere to log weights, supersets, and the exercises a camera can't see.

What app blocking costs in year one
PushScroll prices from its own FAQ, before tax. App store prices can vary by region and promotion.
Why people switch
The subscription
PushScroll stops blocking when you stop paying. Focus in MyRepsCount is free, so the habit doesn't depend on a renewal date.
Pushups get old
Unlock with squats, lunges, pullups, curls, kettlebell swings, or a full training session. The camera counts 60+ exercises.
One app, not two
Your workout history, programs, and manual log live in the same app that guards your phone.
Where PushScroll is better
We make MyRepsCount, so here is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- PushScroll is bigger and more established, with about 17,700 App Store ratings averaging 4.7.
- Steps count toward unlocking. MyRepsCount only counts workouts.
- Its per-rep exchange rate charges you every time you want to scroll. MyRepsCount Focus is a daily gate: work out once and the apps open for the time you chose.
- It has more game-style motivation: levels, collectibles, and weekly challenges.
How MyRepsCount counts your reps
-
Prop your phone up. Floor, shelf, or against a water bottle, with your whole body in frame. -
Train hands-free. The camera tracks your movement on the phone and counts each full rep. No video is recorded or uploaded. - Or log it by hand. Anything the camera can't count goes in the manual log, with weights, rep ranges, and supersets.
