Block distracting apps, then walk to unlock them. Turn screen time into movement with no account required.
APP BLOCKER THAT MAKES YOU MOVE
Couch Potato is an app blocker and screen time control app that helps you spend less time scrolling and more time moving.
Choose distracting apps, set a walking requirement, and unlock access by walking. When you try to open a blocked app, Couch Potato turns that impulse into a concrete action: move first, then unlock.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps you want to block or limit
2. Set your walk-to-unlock requirement
3. Let Couch Potato lock selected apps with Apple's Screen Time framework
4. Walk to unlock access and track progress over time
FEATURES

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Most screen time tools rely on nagging or willpower. Couch Potato gives you a simple rule you can actually follow: move first, unlock later.
Use it to reduce doom scrolling, protect focus time, build better habits, and make screen time feel earned instead of automatic.
PRIVACY
- Movement and usage settings are processed on-device
- No account required
