## What is Jellwalk?

Steps up. Screen time down.

Your apps run on Jells. Walk to collect Jells and feed them to your apps for more screen time. When you run out of screen time, your apps lock.

Earn screen time for every step you walk.

WHY BLOCKERS STOP WORKING
A blocker asks you to say no. That is you against your own thumb, and the off switch is right there. Instead you will have to sacrifice a cute Jell for time, and you have to get up and move around to end the doomscrolling cycle.

WHAT YOU COLLECT
Every 300 steps, you get a random Jell, collect them all and compare your collection with friends!

WALK WITH FRIENDS
Share your steps and your screen time so you can push each other. Open a friend's scrapbook and see how far along they are. All of it is optional. Switch it off and they see nothing.

No emails, just sign in with Apple, and that is all we get.
Apple's Screen Time framework means Jellwalk cannot see which apps you open, or anything you look at.
No ads. Your data is never sold.

Jellwalk reads your steps from Apple Health and uses Apple's Family Controls to lock the apps you pick. Backups live in your own iCloud.

Ready to be more present? Put the phone in your pocket and go.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-23

A squishier Jell, streaks with friends, and leaderboards.

• Your Jells have a new look: soft, jelly bodies with a gummy shine.
• Challenge: keep a walking streak going with friends, and see today's leaderboard near you.
• Leaderboards: see where you stand among everyone on Jellwalk, today or all time.
• Stats now show your lowest average screen time.
• Setup always has a way forward, even with iCloud off, and picks up where you left off.
• If your iCloud storage is full, your Jells still get backed up.
• Small fixes.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-04

Jells you can give, and a padlock for any app.

• Send a Jell to a friend: open their row in Friends, pick one off your shelf, and it lands on their shelf. Running low? Ask a friend for one.
• Lock App: tap the padlock over any Jell to shut that app for 5 minutes to 2 hours. It costs nothing, and your time left is exactly where it was when the lock lifts. Drop a Jell on it to unlock early.
• Delete and reinstall, and you're straight back in: your @username, friends, Jells, settings and your best days all come back. Signing out and back in keeps everything too.
• The Screen time Jell now tells you if it isn't counting and asks what counts as screen time.
• iCloud backup fixes, clearer error messages, and small fixes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-01

Jell is now Jellwalk. Same walk, same Jells, new name.

• Friend requests: adding a friend now sends a request. They get a notification, accept from their Friends tab, and you're friends both ways.
• A new look for the app icon — the nine Jells, now in full toon shading.
• The app is always in dark mode, so every page looks the way it was designed, whatever your phone's setting.
• A new lock screen when an app is out of Jell: Jell behind bars, and how many steps until your next one.
• Small fixes.
