## What is MileWalk?

Walk before you scroll.

MileWalk locks the apps you choose, like Instagram and TikTok, until you walk your daily distance. Hit your goal and it unlocks your daily app time budget. The apps re-lock in the evening.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the apps that pull you in.
• Choose your distance, in either miles or steps.
• Your apps lock each evening and stay locked until you walk the next day.
• Steps count automatically through Apple Health.
• Upon reaching your walking goal, the apps unlock. They can be used for your daily app time budget, then lock for the rest of the day.

WHY A WALK
The walk is the fix. Daylight and movement calm the dopamine spike + crash that make the feed so hard to put down. 
• Better sleep within the first week.
• Steadier energy, less afternoon crash.
• Feel different in 30 days.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
• A daily streak, plus Rest Days you earn to protect it through travel and sick days.
• Emergency unlock is always available.
• Only the apps you pick ever lock. Calls, texts, and maps work normally.

WHAT MAKES MILEWALK DIFFERENT
• No ads. Steps data stays on your phone.

A subscription is required to use MileWalk.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-21*

Walking is so important.  If you want to keep yourself accountable every day, this is a great tool.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-08-16*

MileWalk has been really helpful with resetting my morning routine. Already I’m finding myself in a better mood in the mornings as a result of not using social media apps before taking my morning walk to work. Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — It Helps

*2026-08-14*

It shuts off my instagram on the two times I don’t want to be using it but have been: late at night and right when I wake up. Having to get outside first and start my day has created noticeable changes.

### 5/5 — Fun way to deal with phone addiction and get my daily walk

*2026-08-14*

As a full-time pet sitter, and currently not having a dog to walk, this is the next best thing! I’m able to get my steps in before my phone addiction sets in, love the streaks and keeping my virtual pet happy 🐶

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-10*

A fun way to help me win my mornings and cut back on scrolling. Very reasonable price

### 5/5 — Miles more than walking

*2026-08-08*

Miles so cute and it is a huge boost to see him happy before I start using my socials. I have a 20 day streak and it really has dropped my socials usage and gotten me feeling better and healthier. Miles is a great motivator and makes putting limits feel less like a restriction but a commitment. Give it a try and see how it changes your your life

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-04*

The app and Miles the dog have been keeping me from scrolling Instagram before bed and when I wake up, my weakness. Fun, easy to use.

### 5/5 — Better start to my mornings

*2026-08-03*

Instead of laying in bed I get a head start on the day by walking Miles and getting some fresh air. Sets the tone for the rest of the day in a positive direction

### 5/5 — Step goals

*2026-08-03*

Hitting the 2 mile plan before using Instagram has been great. I may move up to the 10k steps plan

### 5/5 — 10k goal

*2026-08-02*

Been trying to get 10k steps daily but haven’t been consistent until I got this app. It has also really helped keep me off of my phone the majority of the day.
