Walk more. Scroll less. Now with Live Activity, streaks & weekly reports. Hit your goal 3 times — try Pro free for 14 days. No card required.
StepGate locks your distracting apps until you've walked enough steps for the day. You choose which apps to restrict — social media, games, streaming — and set your personal daily step goal. As you walk, you earn screen time. Hit your goal, and everything unlocks.
