StepLimit: Walk to Unlock

Tired of doomscrolling? StepLimit locks distracting apps behind your daily step goal. Walk, earn screen time, build a habit that compounds. Free to try.

What if your phone unlocked itself when you walked?

StepLimit is a self-restriction tool for people who think they spend too much time on their phone. You set a daily step goal. Your chosen apps stay locked behind a Screen Time shield until you've walked far enough. When you hit your goal, the shield clears — automatically. No willpower required, no daily promises, no "just one more video."

This is friction, not a cage. You decide what to restrict. You decide the goal. You can always grant yourself a grace pass on a rest day.

WHAT YOU GET FREE • Block one distracting app of your choice • Convert HealthKit steps into earned screen time • 3 grace passes per month (for rest days, sick days, real life) • 7-day step history • Daily auto-reset at midnight

PREMIUM • Block any number of apps simultaneously • Block whole categories — Social, Games, Entertainment • 6 grace passes a month (twice the rest days) • Apple Watch companion — track steps without your phone • Full step history, every day, forever • Custom step thresholds per app

PRIVACY Your step data, app restrictions, and grace-pass ledger live entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no third-party analytics. Crash diagnostics via Sentry only, with all personal identifiers stripped.

The walk-to-unlock mechanic and the Screen Time integration are completely free. Premium unlocks supplementary features.

Walk first. Scroll later.
