## What is Skrid?

Block distracting apps and walk to unlock them. Skrid turns your steps into screen time. If you want more minutes to scroll, you have to go earn them on foot.

It's for anyone who keeps ending up on their phone way past midnight and wishes they had a reason to put it down. If you've tried other blockers or habit trackers and none of them stuck, the difference here is that Skrid doesn't just nag you to use your phone less. You earn your time back by walking.

Here's the basic idea. You set a daily screen time limit and pick the apps you want blocked. Every step you take earns coins. Once you hit your limit, Skrid blocks those apps, and when you want more time, you go for a walk and spend the coins you earned.

HOW IT WORKS
- Set your daily screen time limit
- Choose which apps and categories to block
- Walk to earn coins
- Spend coins on extra screen time
- Keep an eye on your steps and progress in the stats

THE ENERGY SYSTEM
The energy system rewards you for showing up every day instead of cramming it all into the weekend. You start at 100 energy. Hit your step goal and it stays full. Miss a day and it drops, which means the same number of steps earns you fewer coins until you get back on track. So one long Sunday walk won't make up for a week you skipped.

STATISTICS
You can see your steps, screen time, coins, and unlocked minutes over time, along with how often you're actually hitting your goals. It's an easy way to notice your phone habits changing without having to think too hard about it.

STRICT OR FLEXIBLE
Some days you want a hard limit. Other days you need a bit more room. You can change your screen time limit and step goal whenever you want, so Skrid works either way.

PRIVACY
Skrid uses Apple's built-in Screen Time to do the blocking, and nothing gets blocked until you set it up yourself. You choose which apps and categories it manages, and you can change that anytime.

If your screen time has gotten away from you lately, give it a shot. Worst case, you walk a bit more than usual.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-06

This update focuses on polish: we improved performance, smoothed out a few rough edges, and fixed some bugs along the way.

Keep walking, keep earning. Every step counts.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-06-26

We took some bugs for a walk again, but this time we came back with a few extra things in our pockets.

The Home screen is cleaner now, so a quick look tells you where you stand. Stats got bigger and nosier. And there's a new warning that gives you a nudge before you hit your limit — you pick the point where it starts nudging.

Now lace up and go get those steps!

### 1.4.1 — 2026-06-17

We took some bugs out for a walk and didn't give them any coins to come back. What can we say — everything just runs a little smoother now. Now let's lace up and go get those steps!

### 1.2.0 — 2026-05-26

Skrid went for a long walk and came back looking completely different. The whole app has been redesigned from the ground up, with a cleaner look, smoother flow, and better statistics to help you see what your steps are earning. Don't worry, your steps, coins, and screen time limits stayed home safely.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-15

Took some bugs for a walk. They didn't earn enough coins to come back. Your steps and coins are right where you left them.
