Clearspace now makes it harder to mindlessly scroll by charging an entrance fee for opening your apps - physical exercise. Unlock your apps with pushups, squats, or steps.
Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us!
👋 Hey Product Hunt! (thanks for hunting us @mwseibel)
I'm Oliver, one of the founders of Clearspace. Royce and I began building clearspace because we were tired of our phones taking us away from moments in life that mattered to us most. Our mission to create digital environments that work for us, and not the other way round.
We're thrilled to launch a huge new piece of our offering, which lets you earn time on addicting apps with physical motion.
How it works
1. Choose your exercise: pick between pushups, squats, or steps. This will be the exercise that you use to earn your time on apps you limit through Clearspace.
2. Choose your apps: The apps you'd like to use less of are up to you. Clearspace will gate those apps and require proof of motion to open them!
3. Choose your difficulty: You set the conversion ratio between exercise and minutes earned. One pushup to one minute is the default, but scale it up to 3 pushups to a minute in hard mode, or 10 pushups to a minute in warrior mode!
We had a blast building this, along the way, we're pretty sure we've built the best exercise detection in the world. And with more than a million pushups logged by users earning their scroll, people seem to agree!
Royce and I have seen first hand that changing our habits requires changing our environment. And even though we’re spending more of our lives online, our tools for changing our digital environments are incredibly limited. That’s where we come in. We’ll help you set up a digital environment that is aligned with your goals rather than big tech’s bottom line.
Some other ways we allow you to create your ideal digital environment:
- Create scheduled windows where you can freely access apps, (or they’re blocked entirely)
- Write notes to yourself that you’ll see before every app open
- Build your streak each day you stay under your scrolling budget
- Add accountability partners who get notified if you break your budget or delete Clearspace.
- Turn off social feeds entirely on the web
