Need for Steps is the dopamine detox app that blocks your addictive apps until you reach your daily step goal. Walk more, scroll less.

HOW IT WORKS

Set a step goal, pick which apps to block, and start walking. Your selected apps stay locked until you hit your target — turning every step into a reward and breaking the cycle of phone addiction.
