❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does PushBlock work?
PushBlock blocks addictive or distracting apps on your device until you complete physical exercise reps. When you try to open a blocked app, PushBlock prompts you to do your chosen exercise (like Push-ups, Squats, Crunches, or Jumping Jacks). Our AI camera vision counts your reps in real-time and unlocks access to your apps once completed.
Is my camera feed safe and private?
100% Yes! Your privacy is guaranteed. PushBlock processes camera frames entirely in local device memory using on-device machine learning pose estimation. No video recordings, photos, or camera frames are ever saved, stored, or transmitted outside your device.
What exercises are supported?
PushBlock currently supports automated real-time rep tracking for:
- Push-ups (Chest, Arms & Core strength)
- Squats (Leg & Lower body activation)
- Crunches & Sit-ups (Core & Abs)
- Jumping Jacks (Full body cardio boost)
How does app blocking work on iOS and Android?
PushBlock integrates directly with native operating system privacy framework permissions:
- iOS: Utilizes Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls APIs to securely enforce app limits.
- Android: Utilizes Android Accessibility Services and Usage Access to detect and shield blocked applications.
Can I customize my rep goals and unlock time?
Yes! You can choose which apps to block, select your preferred exercises, adjust the number of required reps (e.g., 10, 25, 50 reps), and define how many minutes of app access each completed set earns.
What's included in Free vs. Pro?
The free version allows you to block essential apps and experience AI rep counting. PushBlock Pro unlocks unlimited app blocking, custom exercise routines, detailed workout analytics, streak tracking, and rank progressions.
Does PushBlock work offline?
Yes! All core features, app blocking mechanisms, and AI pose estimation algorithms run completely offline without needing an active internet connection.

🔧 Troubleshooting Guide
Camera AI rep counter not tracking reps?
- Make sure camera permissions are enabled for PushBlock in your device Settings.

- Perform complete range-of-motion repetitions for accurate automatic counting.
