Just what I needed
Get up and move, or sit with a brick in your hand. I’m finally in control.
Couldn’t live without this
Other blockers I deleted. This one gets me walking instead.
Actually accountable
Different from other blockers — I’ve been walking more and scrolling less.

Apps stay locked until I get my steps. The urge to shop faded with them.

How does WalkBlock work?
Choose apps to block and set a daily step goal. WalkBlock reads your steps from the Health app. Until you hit your goal, those apps stay blocked. Each new day starts fresh around midnight.
It helps to open WalkBlock now and then to check your steps. Your phone does not always update blocks in the background on its own.
How do I unlock my apps?
Hit your step goal, then open WalkBlock. That is when your apps unlock for the rest of the day.
You do not need the app open while you walk. Many people open WalkBlock a few times a day to check steps or make sure blocks and unlocks are up to date.
Should I open WalkBlock during the day?
Yes, when you can. Opening WalkBlock is the best way to check your steps and refresh blocking or unlocking. iOS does not always sync in the background right away, so a quick open after a walk or when you expect an unlock goes a long way.
What if I do not finish my steps?
Your picked apps stay blocked until you reach your goal. Tomorrow you get a new count at midnight. Open WalkBlock anytime to see where you stand.
Is my data private?
Your steps, goals, blocked apps, and in-app Screen Time summaries stay on your device. If you use Friends, only your scores and username are shared for social features. See the Privacy Policy for details.
