What Doomroll does

Doomroll locks the apps you choose and gives you screen time back for exercise you actually do. Out of the box, one camera-verified push-up buys two minutes. Every other exercise is priced against it: a sit-up 1:20, a squat or lunge 1:00, a jumping jack 0:40, and every verified second of a plank or squat hold 0:24. When your balance runs out, your chosen apps lock again.

You set the rate yourself. In the app, Settings → The exchange chooses what one push-up is worth, anywhere from one to five minutes, and the whole table updates under the control as you pick. Every exercise moves with it, so no exercise is ever a better deal than another — you are choosing how generous the deal is, not which shortcut to take.

Everything is verified on your iPhone with the front camera. No footage is saved or uploaded — see the privacy policy.

Setting up

Subscribe.
Grant Screen Time access when asked. Doomroll needs it to lock apps, and iOS only lets you grant it, not us.
Allow notifications so the Unlock banner can hand you back to the app. Optional, but the flow is smoother with it.
On the Home tab, choose which apps to lock.
Earn your first minutes.

Troubleshooting

My reps are not counting

Prop the phone up and step back. The camera needs your whole body in frame, from head to feet. Hand-held or propped-at-an-angle is the most common cause.
Hold the phone still. Doomroll stops counting when the device is moving, because a moving camera cannot verify a rep.
Give it light. A dim room starves the pose detection.
Go to full depth and lock out at the top. Counting is deliberately strict about partial reps — that is the point of the product. If a rep almost counted, the screen tells you what was missing.
Check camera access: iOS Settings → Doomroll → Camera.

The exercise is too hard, or too easy

Change the rate rather than giving up on it: Settings → The exchange. Moving a push-up from two minutes to four doubles what every exercise pays; moving it to one halves it. The change applies immediately and does not touch minutes you have already banked.

If a particular exercise is the problem rather than the amount, Home → the Doomroll card → the sliders icon picks which exercises a roll is allowed to land on. An injury, a floor you cannot lie down on, or an office where jumping jacks are not an option are all reasons to switch some off.

My apps are not locking

Confirm Screen Time access is still granted: iOS Settings → Screen Time, and iOS Settings → Doomroll.
Confirm you have apps selected on the Home tab.
Confirm your subscription is active. An expired subscription stops all shielding by design — Doomroll will never hold your phone hostage over a lapsed payment.
If your balance is above zero, your apps are supposed to be open. Locking resumes when it hits zero.

My minutes are not going down while I use a blocked app

iOS reports usage to Doomroll in batches, not continuously, so the balance can lag by a minute or two and then catch up. This is normal and the math settles correctly — the app is designed to resolve every ambiguity in your favor rather than over-charge you.

I earned minutes but my apps are still locked

Open Doomroll. A metering window sometimes ends while you are inside a blocked app; opening Doomroll re-arms the rest of your balance immediately. The lock screen says which of the two situations you are in.

I tapped Unlock and nothing happened

iOS does not permit a lock screen to launch an app — an Apple platform restriction, not a bug. Tapping Unlock closes the blocked app and posts a banner; tap that banner to land in Doomroll with the camera up. If you declined notifications, just open Doomroll yourself and it will pick up where you left off.

I restored my purchase but I am still locked out

Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple Account that bought the subscription.
Settings → Restore purchases.
Check the subscription is still active: Settings → Manage subscription.
Still stuck? Email support@glaw.app with the Apple Account email used for the purchase and we will sort it out.

I want my apps unlocked right now, without exercising

Turn off protection in Settings, or delete the app. Deleting Doomroll removes every lock it applied. You are never trapped.

Subscription

Doomroll is $49.99 per year or $7.99 per week, or the equivalent in your local currency. Some offers open with a 3-day free trial. The price, the billing period, and any trial are always shown on the subscription screen before you confirm.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
Manage or cancel any time: iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in-app via Settings → Manage subscription.
Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access for the rest of the paid period.
Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us: https://reportaproblem.apple.com
