## What is StepLimit?

What if your phone unlocked itself when you walked?

StepLimit is a self-restriction tool for people who think they spend too much time on their phone. You set a daily step goal. Your chosen apps stay locked behind a Screen Time shield until you've walked far enough. When you hit your goal, the shield clears — automatically. No willpower required, no daily promises, no "just one more video."

This is friction, not a cage. You decide what to restrict. You decide the goal. You can always grant yourself a grace pass on a rest day.

WHAT YOU GET FREE
• Block one distracting app of your choice
• Convert HealthKit steps into earned screen time
• 3 grace passes per month (for rest days, sick days, real life)
• 7-day step history
• Daily auto-reset at midnight

PREMIUM
• Block any number of apps simultaneously
• Block whole categories — Social, Games, Entertainment
• 6 grace passes a month (twice the rest days)
• Apple Watch companion — track steps without your phone
• Full step history, every day, forever
• Custom step thresholds per app

PRIVACY
Your step data, app restrictions, and grace-pass ledger live entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no third-party analytics. Crash diagnostics via Sentry only, with all personal identifiers stripped.

The walk-to-unlock mechanic and the Screen Time integration are completely free. Premium unlocks supplementary features.
