MoveFirst
Guides
Short, honest reads on making screen time cost a little movement.
A calmer way to limit screen time on iPhone
Screen Time limits ask you to say no to yourself at the exact moment saying yes is easiest. MoveFirst replaces that standoff with a gentler trade: a moment of movement buys time in the apps you love.
Earning screen time without a camera
MoveFirst turns movement into minutes for the apps you keep behind its calm block screen — and every one of those minutes can be earned without ever opening the lens. This is the full camera-free route: walks, daily Apple Health steps, and focus sessions.
What is a fair exchange rate for screen time?
Every trade in MoveFirst is the same simple exchange: effort on one side, minutes in the apps you love on the other. Here is how the default rates work, what the three tiers actually ask of you, and how to choose a starting point you will not resent.
Focus sessions: earn minutes by leaving your phone alone
A focus session is the quietest way to earn time in MoveFirst: everything blocked, the phone left alone, and the work in front of you doing the earning. It fits the parts of a day movement doesn't reach — the library, the lecture, the long afternoon at a desk.
