## Description

Your phone is designed to make you scroll forever.
Walkgate is designed to make you walk first.

Every day, your apps are locked. TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit —
blocked until you hit your step goal. Walk your steps, earn them back.
Miss your goal? They stay locked.

It sounds extreme. It works.

-----------------------
HOW IT WORKS
-----------------------

1. Set your daily step goal (even 3,000 steps is a start)
2. Pick which apps to block — social media, games, whatever drains you
3. Walk. Walkgate tracks your steps automatically via Apple Health.
4. Hit your goal -> apps unlock. Simple.

No willpower required. No timers to beat.
Just one rule: walk first.

-----------------------
WHY STEP-GATING WORKS
-----------------------

App timers fail because they create no friction — you just tap "15 more minutes."
Willpower fails because your apps are engineered by billion-dollar teams to defeat it.

Walkgate creates a physical cost.
You can't scroll your way to unlocking it. You have to move.

That physical cost changes behavior.
Users report fewer mindless pickups, more intentional phone use,
and — unexpectedly — they actually enjoy the walks.

-----------------------
FEATURES
-----------------------

• Step-gated app blocking — powered by Apple Health + Screen Time
• Choose exactly which apps to block
• Daily step goal you set yourself
• Progress ring — see how close you are to unlocking
• No loopholes. No "skip for today." No override button.
• Works with any step source: iPhone, Apple Watch, third-party sensors

-----------------------
GATE PRO
-----------------------

Walkgate is a premium app. No ads. No free tier with nagging banners.

Gate Pro: $29.99/year or $1.49/week.

One subscription. Full blocking. All features.
The cost of one coffee to fix your phone habit for a year.

-----------------------
PRIVACY
-----------------------

Step data stays on your device.
We read Apple Health steps — we never store, sell, or transmit them.
App blocking uses Apple's native Screen Time framework (FamilyControls).
No account required.

-----------------------

Stop scrolling. Start walking.
Your apps will be there when you've earned them.
