iPhone · Screen Time
Move first, then scroll.
MoveFirst holds the apps that eat your evenings behind a block screen — until you have earned your way in. Ten squats buy five minutes. You pick the apps, you set the rates, and the minutes you earn land in a bank you spend whenever you like.
MoveFirst is finishing its final test round. It is not on the App Store yet.
Counted by your camera. Never recorded, never sent.
Reps are counted live on your phone by Apple's Vision framework. Each frame is read in the moment and thrown away — nothing is written to disk, and nothing is uploaded.
Counted by the camera
- Push-ups
- Squats
- Sit-ups
- Jumping jacks
- Plank
- Jump squats
- Lunges
- High knees
- Mountain climbers
- One-foot balance
Or earn without the camera at all.
A short walk, your daily steps from Apple Health, or a focused stretch with your phone face-down all earn the same minutes. Every minute in MoveFirst can be earned without ever opening the lens.
No camera needed
- A walk, measured by the step counter
- Your daily steps from Apple Health
- Focused time with your phone shut
How it works
Four things happen, and you decide all four.
- 1
Pick the apps that should wait
They are held behind a calm block screen. MoveFirst cannot see which apps you chose — Apple's Screen Time keeps that private even from us.
- 2
Move a little
Push-ups, squats, a plank, high knees — or just a walk. Ten moves are counted by the camera, and three ways to earn need no camera at all.
- 3
Minutes land in your bank
Spend them when you like. When the time is up, the block comes back on its own — you never have to remember to switch it on.
- 4
Set your own rates
Ten squats for five minutes, or three for twenty. Make it easy or make it a challenge. Nothing here is fixed by us.
Never a lecture
- Stopping halfway still earns the time you moved for.
- Walking away without scrolling counts as a win, not a missed session.
- There are no streaks to lose, no guilt, and nothing that ever counts against you.
Yours, privately
No account, ever
There is nothing to sign up for and no password to forget. MoveFirst is a tool on your phone, not a service you join.
Nothing leaves your phone
Your video, your history, your rates and your earned minutes stay on the device. There is no server holding a copy.
Your app choices stay yours
Apple's Screen Time hands MoveFirst a sealed token, not a list. Which apps you block is private even from us.

Questions people ask first
- Does MoveFirst record me while I exercise?
- No. Reps are counted live on your phone by Apple's Vision framework. Frames are read as they arrive and discarded immediately — no video is written to disk, and none is uploaded anywhere.
- Can I use MoveFirst without the camera?
- Yes, completely. A walk is measured by the phone's step counter, your daily steps can be credited from Apple Health while the phone sits in your pocket, and focused time needs no sensor at all. Every minute in MoveFirst can be earned without opening the camera.
- How accurate is the rep counting?
- It reads body position, so it works best with your whole body in frame and reasonable light. It is honest work rather than a perfect judge — if a move is not counting well for you on a given day, a walk or your daily steps earn exactly the same minutes.
- Can MoveFirst see which apps I block?
- No. Apple's Screen Time framework hands the app an opaque token that stands for your selection. MoveFirst can hold those apps behind a block screen without ever learning their names.
- What happens when my earned time runs out?
- The block returns on its own. You do not have to remember to switch anything back on, and nothing is taken away from the minutes still in your bank.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your subscription is tied to your Apple ID, so restoring it on a new phone is a single tap.
- What does it cost?
- Three days free, then €29.99 per year. You can cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings. If a subscription lapses, blocking simply switches off.
- Which iPhones does it work on?
- iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Camera-counted moves use the front camera; the walk and focus routes work on any supported iPhone.
