Our story
It started with the same bad morning, over and over: wake up, reach for the phone, and lose an hour to a feed before getting out of bed. Screen Time limits didn't help: a limit is just a button that says "Ignore."
So we tried the opposite of restriction. Instead of taking apps away, what if you had to earn them? Not with a timer or a streak in some other app, with actual movement. Steps you already take, counted by the phone you're already holding.
That's WalkBlock. You pick the apps that eat your day, set a step goal you can actually hit, and those apps stay shielded until you get there. The block isn't a punishment; it's the reason you get outside before noon.
We built it because we needed it. It's still the version we use every day: no ads, no tracking, and your step data stays on your phone.

What we believe
Friction beats willpower
Motivation fades by Wednesday. A shield that only steps can lift doesn't.
Don't delete, redirect
Social apps aren't the enemy. Reaching for them before you've moved is.
Your data is yours
Steps are read from Apple Health read only and stay on your device.
