About
Stride is an app lock you open by walking. Pick the apps you doomscroll, and they stay locked until you earn them back with steps: every 500 steps unlocks 15 minutes.
Willpower loses to an endless feed. Stride puts a short walk in the way, so you scroll less and walk more without fighting yourself.
WALK TO UNLOCK YOUR APPS
• Every 500 steps, counted by Apple Health, earns 15 minutes of app time.
• Walk to the shop, take the stairs, pace during a call: it all counts.
• Wear an Apple Watch? Steps from your iPhone and Watch are merged the way the Health app merges them, so a walk never counts twice.
AN APP BLOCKER THAT FEELS FAIR
• Open a locked app and Stride's shield appears instead. Tap once to start a pass with your earned minutes, with no detour through another app.
• Out of time? The shield shows how many more steps you need.
• Minutes are metered by actual use. Close the app and the clock stops.
• Minutes you don't use stay banked for the rest of the week.
• When your time runs out, your apps lock again on their own.
SEE YOUR REAL SCREEN TIME
• The Screen Time tab shows your phone time for today or the last 7 days: your daily average, your most-used apps and categories, and how often you pick up your phone.
• Spot which of your top apps aren't locked yet, and lock them from the same screen.
WATCH YOUR WALKS ADD UP
• A weekly step chart with your daily average and best day.
• Minutes earned, used and ready to spend, estimated distance, and a history of every pass.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Stride reads step counts from Apple Health and never writes to it. It locks apps with Apple's Screen Time tools. Your steps and Screen Time stay on your iPhone, and there's no account to create.
FREE AND PRO
Free: lock 1 app, enough to feel the habit change.
Stride Pro: unlimited apps, plus whole categories like Social, Games and Entertainment in one switch. Your steps always unlock what you've earned.

What's New in Stride
1.0.5
October 14, 2026
Fixed: on iPad, the Screen Time tab and setup could show "No Screen Time yet". Stride now reads this iPad's Screen Time. Updating doesn't reset anything: your steps, banked minutes, locked apps and pass history carry over.
