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

I want this one for my kids 👌🏻

I'm glad we have you guys tackling this problem in society — every launch is so cool & creative. I always look forward to see what's next from clearspace!

nice work guys! @anteloper @royce_branning1 👏

Just hit my 560 day streak -- looking forward to my transformation while I'm doing push ups for the next 560!

Saw the early prototype on X, super happy to see you launch this! I'm super excited by the unique use-cases enabled by the proliferation of ml models Looking forward to what you'll build next! Good luck!

Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us! Hey Product Hunt fam! 👋 Oliver here, one of the masterminds behind Clearspace. Gotta say, I'm loving what you've cooked up here! The whole "earn your scroll" concept is genius - it's like a fitness tracker and productivity app had a baby, and that baby is determined to save us from our phone addiction. 😂 The exercise detection sounds pretty slick too. I mean, a million pushups logged? That's enough to make even The Rock jealous! 💪 Now, for some friendly feedback (because what's a Product Hunt comment without a little constructive criticism, right?): 1. Have you thought about gamifying the experience a bit more? Maybe add some fun achievements or challenges to keep users motivated? Something like "Squats for Scrolls Superstar" or "Pushup Pro" could be a hoot! 2. How about integrating with popular fitness apps or smartwatches? It could be cool to sync data and get a more holistic view of our health and screen time habits. 3. While the exercise feature is awesome, it might be worth considering alternative "earning" methods for those with physical limitations. Maybe brain teasers or mindfulness exercises could be an option? 4. Compared to other digital wellbeing apps like Forest or Freedom, you've got a unique angle with the physical activity aspect. But maybe consider adding a visual representation of progress, like Forest's growing trees? 5. Lastly, and I'm just spitballing here, but what about a "cheat day" feature? Sometimes we all need a guilt-free binge, right? 😉 All in all, Clearspace looks like it could be a game-changer in the digital wellness space. Keep up the great work, and may your users' biceps be as strong as their willpower! 💪📱

I'll be huge as a rock 😂 Thanks mate, great stuff!

Innovative concept! How do you track the exercises, and can users customize their workout preferences? Excited to see how this changes the way we interact with our apps!

Best product of allllll time!

Somehow clearspace turns "restrictions" into motivating/fun/empowering features... and in doing so, is ridiculously effective at keeping me off my phone unless I truly want/need to be on it.

Really the helpful product. I finally got rid of the addiction to watching TikTok every day. Just try it, and you’ll see how significantly your life changes

Congrats on the launch! Tried this out for a day and will definitely continue using it. That being said, I have a few suggestions: - Allow the exercises as a persistent setting separate from challenges. As someone using this app just by myself, I'd love to be able to have this option and not have to start another challenge every 7 days to access this feature. Then I could also configure my settings without resetting my earned minutes and tracked progress - Allow choice of an exercise at the time of unlock (e.g. unlock for 5 minutes with 5 squats or 5 pushups). This would be good for getting some exercise variety and rest days - Put a short timeout on the exercise detection. I had a couple instances where I finished one pushup and it tracked it as 3 in rapid succession. While getting the tracking perfect is a tricky task, I think at least putting a timeout for the amount of time a person can realistically complete one rep would help drastically. All that being said, I love the app so far and definitely see it helping out my exercise and screen time habits! Feel free to reach out to me if you're ever doing any further testing/research.

This will surely be helpful to help people get more fit

Haha I love this idea. My friends and I already text each other to do pushups and such, but this is an awesome idea to encourage the workout habits while reducing screen time. How did you get the body tracking to work? I haven't tampered with that in building yet. Congrats on the launch!

This feature is a game changer -- I'd be hesitant to enable because I'm not always in a place where I can do push-ups to unlock my social media.... but that's the exact point! 😃 lol I also didn't know you had a steps to scroll option! Alright, fine, maybe I'll go turn that on 🥲

Seems like a fun idea! I think it could be effective for digital detox too, haha. I should recommend this to my friend who's addicted to their mobile phone.

This is such a creative and healthy approach to managing screen time, Oliver! How did you come up with the idea to link physical exercise with app usage?

Congrats on the launch! This is the best solution I've ever found. It encourages you to either be fit or to lower your on-screen time. Best of both worlds

Ha what a brilliant idea! This is like a physical sweat jar. Such a fun idea - knowing how much I hate working out, this may actually work. Wasn’t there an app that can detect if you can do exercise properly? This reminds me of that. Congrats @anteloper and team!
