Looking for a free RepScroll alternative?
Same idea — your social apps stay blocked until you have actually worked out — but MyRepsCount is a full workout app underneath, it runs on Android too, and the blocking is free.
The short answer
Stick with RepScroll if…
- You know you will hunt for loopholes and want the harshest lock available.
- You like the idea of borrowing time now and paying it back in burpees.
- You are on iPhone and want a lifetime purchase instead of a subscription.
Try MyRepsCount if…
- You are on Android. We could not find RepScroll on Google Play.
- You want the blocking free, without a weekly plan.
- You want more than four exercises: real workouts, programs, and a log for weights.

Why people switch
It runs on Android
RepScroll needs an iPhone. MyRepsCount Focus works on iPhone and Android.
Sixty exercises, not four
Unlock with squats, lunges, pullups, curls, kettlebell swings, or a full session, so the habit doesn't get stale.
No weekly billing
A weekly plan at a few dollars adds up to hundreds a year. Focus is free.
Where RepScroll is better
We make MyRepsCount, so here is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- Stricter. RepScroll says Hard Lock stops you uninstalling or force-closing the app until you finish your reps. We don't go that far.
- Emergency Scroll lets you borrow five minutes now and owe exercise later. It's a clever way to handle the times you really need your phone.
- It checks form during the unlock, so shallow squats don't count.
- Steps earn time too.
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.
