About
Your phone is designed to make you scroll forever.
Walkgate is designed to make you walk first.
Every day, your apps are locked. TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit —
blocked until you hit your step goal. Walk your steps, earn them back.
Miss your goal? They stay locked.
It sounds extreme. It works.
-----------------------
HOW IT WORKS
-----------------------
1. Set your daily step goal (even 3,000 steps is a start)
2. Pick which apps to block — social media, games, whatever drains you
3. Walk. Walkgate tracks your steps automatically via Apple Health.
4. Hit your goal -> apps unlock. Simple.
No willpower required. No timers to beat.
Just one rule: walk first.
-----------------------
WHY STEP-GATING WORKS
-----------------------
App timers fail because they create no friction — you just tap "15 more minutes."
Willpower fails because your apps are engineered by billion-dollar teams to defeat it.
Walkgate creates a physical cost.
You can't scroll your way to unlocking it. You have to move.
That physical cost changes behavior.
Users report fewer mindless pickups, more intentional phone use,
and — unexpectedly — they actually enjoy the walks.
