Move first. Scroll later.
brb blocks Instagram, TikTok, or any distracting app until you hit your daily step goal.
The name says it all: your apps will Be Right Back - after you move.
Real Results
More walking on average
Less scrolling daily
Habits that stick
Plus:
- Feel more energized and focused throughout the day
- Improve both mental and physical wellbeing
One Rule: No Steps, No Scrolling
Other apps just lock your phone and leave you waiting.
brb gives you something to do: move.
Every minute you're locked out is a minute you could be moving.
Your apps become your motivation, not your distraction.
