# How Fitlock compares with other screen time apps

Fitlock keeps distracting apps locked until you move. Here's how it compares with other apps that make you move to unlock, and with blockers that use timers, pauses or a tag you tap. We checked every fact about another app against its own App Store listing or website.

## Apps that make you move to unlock

Each of these asks for something physical before your apps open: reps, steps or a trip outside.

    ### Fitlock vs Pushscroll

    Reps buy minutes of scrolling. Runs on Android too, but needs a subscription after a 7-day trial. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/pushscroll/)
- [

    ### Fitlock vs PushUp Time

    A set of reps opens your apps for 15 to 120 minutes. Simple, but there's no free plan. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/pushup-time/)
- [

    ### Fitlock vs touch grass

    Photograph real grass to unlock your apps. Free for two apps, with a monthly skip. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/touch-grass/)

## Other screen time blockers

These don't ask you to move. They use a timer, a pause or a tag you tap.

    ### Fitlock vs Brick

    Tap your phone on a $59 NFC tag to lock and unlock apps. No subscription, but you need the tag. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/brick/)
- [

    ### Fitlock vs one sec

    A short pause, like a breathing exercise, before a distracting app opens. Free for one app. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/one-sec/)
- [

    ### Fitlock vs Opal

    Blocks apps on timers and schedules. Runs on iPhone, Android and Mac, with a free plan for one rule. ](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/opal/)

## Every app side by side

| App | What unlocks your apps | Free plan | Runs on |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Fitlock | Hitting a daily goal you set, confirmed by Apple Health, the camera or your location. A rule can unlock apps outright or earn you extra time | Yes, with no time limit: one schedule, two apps or sites and one goal | iPhone (iOS 17 or later) |
| [Pushscroll](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/pushscroll/) | Reps earn minutes of app time. By default one push-up is one minute | No. There's a 7-day free trial, then Pushscroll Pro | iPhone, iPad and Android |
| [PushUp Time](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/pushup-time/) | Finish a set of reps and your apps open for 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes | No. Blocking needs PushUp Time Premium | iPhone and iPad |
| [touch grass](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/touch-grass/) | Take a photo of real grass. The app checks it's grass before it unlocks your apps | Yes: block up to two apps | iPhone (Android has a waitlist) |
| [Brick](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/brick/) | Tapping your phone on the Brick, a small NFC tag, again | The app is free, but you need a Brick to use it | iPhone and Android, with the Brick |
| [one sec](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/one-sec/) | Waiting through a short pause, like a breathing exercise, then choosing to carry on | Yes: one app | iPhone, Android and browser extensions |
| [Opal](https://fitlock.io/alternatives/opal/) | A timer or scheduled session ending | Yes: one rule, with schedules and time limits | iPhone, Android and Mac |
