iPhone
Turn your steps into a tower.
Every floor you reach unlocks the apps you placed there.
Spending too much time on your phone? StepTower locks your most distracting apps behind real steps. Place each app on a floor of your tower. The higher the floor, the more steps it takes to unlock. Put casual apps on lower floors and your biggest distractions at the top. Every 1,000 steps unlocks the next floor and the apps on it.
What you get:
- Lock distracting apps until you walk
- Place apps and categories on different tower floors
- Unlock each floor with 1,000 steps
- Unlock apps as soon as you reach their floor
- Complete your daily goal to free everything for the day
- Take a 15-minute pause when you need a quick break
- Sync steps automatically with Apple Health
- Build streaks
- Add Home Screen widget for your tower and progress
How it works:
1. Choose the apps you want to lock
2. Place them on StepTower floors
3. Walk 1,000 steps to reach the next floor
4. Apps unlock when their floor is reached
5. Reach the top to unlock everything for the rest of the day
6. Need a quick break? Use a 15-minute pause
