CounterWait™
Get your wait up.
Earn your time. Lock the apps you choose and earn minutes back with exercise and tasks, on your own, as a family, or with an accountability buddy.
How it works
- Lock the apps. Pick the apps that eat the day, like Instagram or games. CounterWait locks them through Apple's Screen Time. For a kid, you pick them on their iPhone with your passcode.
- Earn minutes. Push ups, squats or jumping jacks the camera counts. Steps, workouts, Exercise minutes and mindful minutes from Apple Health. Or a chore or task a parent/guardian approves.
- Spend them. Tap the minutes you want. The apps open, then lock again when the time runs out.
CounterWait is in public beta on iPhone.
Join the BetaFree while in beta. Opens Apple's TestFlight app. Everyone who joins must be 13 or older (Apple's rule for TestFlight), and each iPhone needs iCloud turned on.

Terms of UseThe terms for using CounterWait
We're not on social media. On purpose.
Social media is a big part of why CounterWait exists, so we don't use it. Any CounterWait page on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X or anywhere else is fake. Don't give it your information, and please report it. The only real places are counterwait.app, the App Store (Apple's TestFlight during the beta), and support@steppingstonegroup.net.
