## What is Mochipo?

Want to use your phone? Walk first.

Mochipo is a step-based app blocker. The apps you choose stay blocked until you reach today's step goal. Before you open social media, videos, or games, take a short walk. Build a daily walking habit and a healthier relationship with your phone, without the struggle.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps to block and set your daily step goal.
2. Until you reach your goal, the selected apps stay blocked.
3. When you hit the goal, the block lifts automatically and the apps are free until midnight.

FEATURES
• Blocks and unlocks automatically based on your steps
• Choose a goal from 500 to 30,000 steps, in steps of 500
• Emergency unlock for 15 minutes when you really need it
• See today's steps and how many are left to unlock on the home screen
• Changes to your goal or blocked apps take effect at the next midnight, so they can't be used as a loophole

PRIVACY
Mochipo only reads your step count from Health. Your steps never leave your device, and the app never writes to Health. Your app selection also stays on your device.
