About this app
ACTIVATE Fitness helps families and individuals maintain a healthier balance of screen time and physical activity. With ACTIVATE, screen time is EARNED, not GIVEN!
ACTIVATE Fitness is an app that regulates screen time based on daily activity levels. The term “screen time” refers to an individual’s time spent using a device such as a mobile phone, game console or television. ACTIVATE grants or denies screen time depending on the amount of daily activity that was performed by the device owner. Daily activity levels are tracked using wearable fitness trackers like a Fitbit. The more active an individual is, the more screen time they ultimately earn. Users can pair their Fitbit accounts with ACTIVATE to automatically sync activity data to earn screen time.
Using wearable fitness trackers, we can regulate the amount of time spent on our mobile devices and push families & individuals to live more of a healthy and active lifestyle.
We are a company that wants to help families better manage their time spent on their mobile devices and tablets. In this technology filled era, parents are discovering how difficult it is to consistently control screen time. Not only for their children, but for themselves also. As technology advances and engineers design more addictive features, ACTIVATE Fitness is now available to ensure families stay active & healthy while limiting their access to mobile games and social media.
Fitbit Integrated
ACTIVATE is 100% FREE! Unlike other screen time management services, our software is unlimited and FREE for all users. Software limitations or known issues:
1) Device Applications will scramble upon return (iOS Only)
2) To properly manage a device, both the Admin & User device need an Internet connection
3) For our current Android version, users must own a Fitbit device
Setup Activity Goals based on:
1) STEPS
2) DISTANCE TRAVELED
3) FLIGHTS of STAIRS TAKEN
4) CALORIES BURNED
5) ACTIVE MINUTES
Each time an Activity Goal has been met, the device owner EARNS a predetermined amount of screen time.
Example: Each time the device owner reaches 1,000 Steps, ACTIVATE will automatically reward the device owner with 10 minutes of EARNED screen time.
ACTIVATE Features:
• Pause & Play Feature – Start & Pause your EARNED screen time on your own time
• Bed & Wake Time – Set a time frame for which the device hides all apps
• Schedule Setup – Define specific time-frames when apps need to be available or hidden
• Manually Grant Screen Time – Grant your child with screen time for doing chores or good grades
• Full Control of All Apps– Manage which apps remain on layout and which ones get blocked (Android)
• Manage Multiple Devices– Ability to control multiple devices from one child account
Ensure that your family is maintaining healthy amounts of screen time and activity per day. ACTIVATE customers can control all devices and tablets. ACTIVATE is for individuals and families that seem to waste valuable time buried behind their devices. Get Up, Be Active and enjoy your time with family & friends!
If your children take their devices outside of the home, there is no need to worry because ACTIVATE works on any network! ACTIVATE does need an internet connection to work accurately though.
For Your Information:
When activity thresholds have not been met, third-party app icons will be temporarily hidden from the home screen on your child’s device (iOS only). Once activity thresholds have been met and screen time is earned, the icons will return to the home screen in alphabetical order. App icons return in alphabetical order due to Apple settings that we currently have no control of.
