## What is WayOut?

Break free from endless scrolling. WayOut is your escape route from screen addiction.

HOW IT WORKS
WayOut blocks your most distracting apps by default. Want to use them? Walk. Every step you take earns Neon—our in-app currency. Spend your Neon to unlock apps for timed sessions. When time runs out, the app locks again. Simple.

YOUR APPS, YOUR RULES
• Choose which apps to block (social media, games, anything)
• Block entire categories at once
• Set your own unlock session lengths
• Track your daily progress

WALK TO EARN
Transform your steps into screen time:
• 1 step = 1 Neon
• 1 Neon = 1 minute of unlock time
• The more you walk, the more you earn
• Claim your earnings anytime

CYBERPUNK DESIGN
Immerse yourself in a neon-lit digital world. WayOut isn't just functional—it's beautiful. Dark themes, glowing accents, and smooth animations make managing your screen time feel like a game.

PROGRESSION SYSTEM
Level up through 11 leagues and 10 divisions. Earn XP by walking and staying disciplined. Show off your rank and compete with yourself to reach the top.

PRO FEATURES
Upgrade to Pro for the ultimate experience:
• Unlimited wallet capacity (free users capped at 120 minutes)
• 2x earning speed—double your Neon per step
• Debt system—borrow time now, pay it back with steps later
• Support independent development

PRIVACY FIRST
WayOut uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps at the system level. Your app usage data stays on your device. We never see which apps you block or use.

BUILT FOR iOS
Designed exclusively for iPhone using the latest Apple technologies:
• Native Screen Time integration
• Live Activities for unlock countdowns
• Home Screen widgets
• Seamless iCloud sync

PERFECT FOR
• Students fighting phone distractions
• Professionals seeking focus
• Parents managing their own screen time
• Anyone who wants to walk more and scroll less

THE SCIENCE
Studies show that adding friction to habits helps break them. WayOut adds just enough friction—a walk—to make you think twice before opening that app. Over time, you'll naturally reach for your phone less.

START YOUR JOURNEY
Download WayOut and take your first step toward digital freedom. Your future self will thank you.
