RepScroll uses the camera and pose detection to count push-ups, jumping jacks and other exercises, paying out minutes of screen time per rep. Paused is a different shape of app, so this is a comparison rather than a pitch — the table starts with what RepScroll does better.
| RepScroll | Paused | |
|---|---|---|
| Known for | RepScroll uses the camera and pose detection to count push-ups, jumping jacks and other exercises, paying out minutes of screen time per rep. | Block Schedules that switch your chosen apps off at set times and back on afterwards, one-tap Focus sessions for right now, and a streak that counts the days you kept the block. |
| Genuinely better at | Exercise variety. RepScroll counts several exercise types, not just push-ups, with daily goals and streaks of its own. | Paused’s streak is for keeping the block, not for reps, and the block itself needs no unlocking. |
| Day to day it feels like | Distracting apps stay locked until you have done something else first — exercise, steps, a habit, a task, reading — and you spend what you earned in minutes. | A small, boring wall. You pick the apps, pick the hours, and they stop opening — no coins, no plants, no hardware, no reasons to type. A calm Paused screen where the app used to be. |
…you want a range of exercises as the key.
We would rather you kept an app that fits than switched and quietly turned it off after a fortnight. A blocker you have disabled is not a blocker.
Said up front, because this is the part comparison pages usually leave out.
