Stride helps you build healthier digital habits by linking your daily step goal to app access. Using step data from Apple Health and Apple’s Screen Time technology, Stride restricts selected apps until you complete your movement goal for the day. Instead of relying on willpower alone, Stride creates a simple structure: move first, then unlock your apps. How It Works • Set your daily step goal • Choose the apps you want to limit • Complete your steps • Selected apps become available once your goal is reached Stride uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs to apply app restrictions and Apple Health step data to track progress toward your goal. Features • App restriction based on step completion • Customizable daily step targets • Integration with Apple Health • Secure Screen Time management • Simple and focused design Stride does not collect or sell your health data. Step data is used solely to determine when your selected apps can become available. Permissions Required • Access to step data via Apple Health • Screen Time authorization to manage selected apps Stride requires these permissions to function properly.
