MANOLO MODEMANOLO MODEBlock TikTok, Instagram, X and YouTube. Unlock your screen time by paying Manolo with squats, push-ups and planks — validated by your phone's own sensors. No cheating. No excuses.
Early access to the private Android beta. No spam, one email at launch.
This is the whole deal. Learn it, rookie.
You try to open Instagram. Manolo shows up, whistle in hand, and locks your screen.
Phone in your pocket or on the floor. You do the reps Manolo asks for. Sensors count them.
You get into your app knowing you earned every minute of scroll. No guilt. Just merit.
"In 1996, Manolo was fired for confiscating his students' Game Boys until they ran a lap for every level they beat. They called him crazy. Thirty years later, algorithms have hijacked your attention — and Manolo is back, this time inside your phone's operating system."
— MANOLO MODEThumb moving. Mind numb. Two hours gone and you couldn't tell where they went.
Same phone. Same apps. Except now every minute of scroll is a minute you earned.
Manolo Mode isn't just humor — it's built on behavioral neuroscience and incidental exercise.
Intercepting the app with a physical cost breaks the automatic habit and forces your prefrontal cortex back online — turning an unconscious reflex into a deliberate choice.
Short bursts of activity (1–2 minutes) throughout the day improve insulin sensitivity, activate metabolism and fight the sedentary trap of digital life.
When you finish your reps, your brain releases real endorphins. Access to the app replaces passive guilt with the feeling of earned reward.
All five are counted by the phone's own motion sensors. The fifth belongs to the Science protocol, which is in beta.
Accelerometer tracks each rep. The classic toll.
Phone flat on the floor, face to the screen. Manolo checks it's down there — and the rhythm.
Hold steady. Move and Manolo's timer freezes.
Filtered step count. No cheating from your bed.
Science protocol only, in beta. A seven-phase walk: Manolo measures your cadence in steps per minute.
100% offline. No biometric data ever leaves your phone. All processing happens locally on your device.
Full details drop with the app. Here's the plan.
Up to 2 blocked apps. Squats & steps. Manolo in standard sarcastic mode. Where everyone starts.
Unlimited blocked apps. Custom blocklist. All exercises. Stats and the full reward algorithm.
10-min access windows. Zero jokers. Extreme multi-sets. Elite-coach mode for rookies who want no mercy.
30-min windows. Strict evidence-based protocol. Metabolic walking. Serious, formal tone — no satire.
Early access to the private Android beta. No spam, one email at launch.
Manolo Mode is not a healthcare provider or a certified fitness trainer. The exercises are designed for users in normal, healthy physical condition. You perform them at your own risk.
Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath. Do not use this app if you have a history of heart conditions, serious muscle/joint injuries, or any diagnosed limitation that advises against moderate-intensity exercise without professional supervision.
