It's a simple step counter that locks your apps, made for anyone who wants to walk 10,000 steps a day without relying on willpower. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to lock 2. Set your daily step goal 3. Walk: every step earns screen time 4. Hit your goal, free your duck, and scroll guilt-free WHAT YOU GET • App blocking: your apps stay locked until you walk • A step counter that turns walking into screen time • Walking streaks: see your progress every single day • Weekly insights: your average steps and the screen time you won back • A city map that reveals itself as you walk • Friend streaks to keep each other moving PERFECT FOR • Building a daily walking habit (hello, 10k steps) • Cutting your screen time without deleting your apps • Getting in shape without forcing it • Getting your evenings back Waddle isn't just another pedometer.
