User reviews

求めてたあああああ!!!

歩数に応じてSNSの利用制限がかかるアプリ!!
万年引きこもり体質の私には刺さりすぎた🥲

「今年はたくさん歩く」と決めたもののモチベは続かず。
気づけばスマホを触って数時間溶かす毎日に嫌気が🙄‬

でも、このアプリのおかげで「歩く理由」と「SNS離れ」が同時に叶いそうです🥲︎
まじで、ありがたい😫🙏

(自分に甘々な性格なので、課金確定っすわ)

Response from developer

嬉しいお言葉をありがとうございます! > 「歩く理由がない」「気づけばSNSで数時間溶けてる」 まさにそこを何とかしたくて作ったアプリなので、刺さったと言っていただけて本当に嬉しいです。 自分に甘くても大丈夫なように、歩けば歩くほど自然とスマホから離れる設計にしています。無理のないペースで、今年こそたくさん歩けますように! 今後、アップデートも続けていきますので、気になる点があればいつでも教えてください!

FAQ

How does Step Charge convert steps to screen time?

Step Charge automatically reads your step count from Apple Health. For every 100 steps you take, you earn 1 minute of screen time. This system encourages you to be active to gain access to your apps.

What apps can I block with Step Charge?

You can choose to block specific apps, entire categories of apps (like social media or games), or even websites. These apps remain blocked by default until you choose to spend your earned screen time minutes to unlock them.

Can I use Step Charge offline?

Yes, Step Charge operates on your device and does not require an internet connection for its core functionality of blocking apps and tracking earned screen time. Your step data is read from Health in the background.

What is the daily limit for earning screen time in Step Charge?

Step Charge has a cap that keeps the system honest. You can earn up to 50 minutes of screen time per day, which is equivalent to 5,000 steps. This prevents excessive hoarding of scrolling time.

Does Step Charge have ads?

No, Step Charge does not have advertisements. The core features of charging, blocking, widgets, and emergency unlock are free. Optional features like Strict Mode and characters are a one-time purchase.

How does the emergency unlock feature work in Step Charge?

If you run out of screen time minutes, Step Charge offers a free emergency unlock once per day. This allows you to open your blocked apps for 15 minutes, but requires you to write down your reason for needing the unlock.

What are the requirements to use Step Charge?

Step Charge is an iPhone-only application. It requires access to Apple Health to read your step count and access to Screen Time to block apps. No account or sign-up is necessary.

How long do earned minutes last in Step Charge?

Earned minutes in Step Charge expire 7 days after you earn them. This ensures that you use the screen time you earn relatively quickly and don't accumulate large amounts of unused time.
