## What is StepOpen?

StepOpen is the "walk to unlock" app.

Lock the apps that distract you (social, video, games) and unlock them once you reach today's step goal. The more you walk, the more of the time your phone was taking comes back to you. Instead of guilt or pressure, it turns moving your body into the "key" - a gentle digital detox habit.

It's simple
1. Choose the apps you want to lock
2. Set the steps needed to unlock them (2,000 / 3,000 / 5,000 / 8,000)
3. Until you reach that count, the chosen apps stay locked
4. Walk, and they open automatically

Free
- Lock up to 2 apps
- Unlock step by step as you walk
- This week's records (achievements, streaks, charts)
- Morning reminder / almost-there notifications
- One temporary unlock per day (an escape hatch for when you really need it)

StepOpen Pro
- Lock unlimited apps
- Custom step goals (add unlock targets that fit you)
- Schedules / time-of-day rules
- Detailed records & insights (month / year, trends)
- Strict Mode (rules you can't relax for a set period, for when you're serious)

Privacy first
Your steps (Health) and your choice of locked apps are, as a rule, processed only on your device and never sent to an external server. We can't know your step details or which apps you locked.

May walking become the most pleasant way to put some distance between you and your phone.
