## What is Earnit?

Walk first. Scroll later.

Earnit locks the apps you waste your mornings on until you get moving. Every morning at your lock time, your chosen apps lock. Spin the wheel for today's step goal, walk it, and unlock them.

HOW IT WORKS
- Choose the apps that eat your mornings: social media, games, video, anything.
- They lock every day at your lock time, even if Earnit is closed. Set it an hour before your alarm and they're locked before you wake up.
- Spin the wheel once for today's step goal. No re-rolls.
- Walk it. Earnit counts your steps from Apple Health and your iPhone's motion sensor.
- At 100%, unlock your apps right from Earnit or from the locked app itself.

STAY ON TRACK
- Streaks for every day you earn your apps back
- Steps walked and hours locked, day by day, on a calendar
- Badges to collect as your streak and step totals grow
- A notification when you hit your goal

YOU SET THE RULES
- Pick your own lock time and step range
- Changes start tomorrow, so there's no easy way out today

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Earnit uses Apple's Screen Time framework, so it never sees which apps you lock or how you use them. Your steps are read from Apple Health and never shared or used for ads.
