Welcome to WalkBlock, your guide to a healthier, calmer relationship with your phone. Whether you are trying to reduce screen time, beat brain rot, or simply feel more present in your day, WalkBlock is here to help. One step at a time. Here is how it works. You pick the apps that pull you in: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat and WalkBlock gently blocks them until you hit your daily step goal. Walk your steps, unlock your apps. It is that simple. No harsh restrictions. No guilt. Just a small, healthy deal you make with yourself every single day. Most people spend five to six hours on their phones without really choosing to. WalkBlock does not judge that. It just gives your body something to do first. And when you start moving, something shifts. You feel clearer. More present. Like your day belongs to you again. WALK TO UNLOCK Transform your screen time into step time. Choose any app or category to block: Social Media, Games, Entertainment - and set a daily step goal that feels right for you, anywhere from 3,000 to 15,000 steps or more. The moment you hit it, everything unlocks automatically. No reminders. No willpower. Just the quiet satisfaction of earning your time. WalkBlock users walk an average of 2,000 more steps per day. Steps that make digital detox feel effortless. Steps toward better focus, better sleep, and a phone that finally feels like a tool again, not a trap. BLOCK SOCIAL MEDIA. EARN IT BACK. WalkBlock is a social media blocker that rewards movement. Block individual apps or entire categories and set your own rules. Use it as a dopamine detox, a doomscrolling cure, or simply a way to build healthier daily habits around your phone. However you use it, the result is the same, less mindless scrolling, more time doing the things that actually matter. Unlike other screen time apps that rely on willpower alone, WalkBlock gives your body a job to do. Your steps are the key. Walk more, unlock more. It is the only app blocker free of complicated setups and hard-to-break habits that does not ask you to resist your phone, it asks you to move instead. WHY YOUR SCREEN TIME IS HOLDING YOU BACK The average attention span on a digital screen is now just 47 seconds. High screen use is linked to a 61% higher chance of feeling anxious and a 45% higher chance of feeling low. Blue light at night disrupts your deep sleep, leaving you slower and foggier the next day. Every step you take with WalkBlock is a step toward reversing all of that. And it happens automatically. BUILD A HABIT THAT LASTS Small steps become big changes. WalkBlock keeps you motivated with streak tracking, a visual weekly calendar, and over 30+ achievements across six rarity tiers - common, uncommon, rare, super rare, athlete, and legendary. Watch your progress build week by week. Detailed statistics show your step history, goal achievement rates, and activity trends over time. Watch your screen time fall as your step count rises. DESIGNED AROUND YOUR HEALTH WalkBlock integrates with Apple HealthKit, tracking your steps automatically with no manual input. Blocks and unlocks happen in real time as your step count grows. Set your goal once and let WalkBlock take care of the rest. COMPLETELY PRIVATE Everything in WalkBlock stays on your device. We use Apple HealthKit and the Screen Time API to track your steps and manage your apps. Your data never leaves your phone. No account required. No cloud storage. We never collect, store, or transmit your information. Download WalkBlock today and take your first step toward a calmer, more present life. Subscription is required to use App features. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited apps, unlimited categories, and every feature unlocked. https://walkblock.app/terms https://walkblock.app/privacy

Take Control of Your Dexterity & Focus! Do you want to test your hand steadiness, improve your motor coordination, or track your reflex speed? Steady Hands is a fun training utility designed to challenge your hand stability, dexterity, and finger coordination. Using advanced real-time sensor analysis, live haptic guidance, and immersive physics, Steady Hands turns coordination challenges into a fun, engaging, and insightful daily game. 5 DEXTERITY & FOCUS CHALLENGES 1. Dot Hold Test (Finger Steadiness) Hold your finger perfectly centered inside the target area. With custom coordinate tracking and real-time radial drift calculation, the app scores your stability. Active tactile haptic pulses gently speed up to warn you when your finger begins to drift from the center. 2. Line Tracing Test (Path Precision) Trace continuous shapes and lines as smoothly as possible. The canvas monitors your drawing precision in real-time. If your finger wanders too far from the guide, the drawing path highlights in red to warn you instantly. 3. Motion Stability Test (Device Hold) Test your absolute device steadiness. Hold your phone flat and keep a virtual container of water level. Powered by realistic fluid sloshing physics, the water moves dynamically with physical gravity, scoring how steady you hold the device. 4. Reaction Tap Test (Reflex Speed) Tap appearing targets as fast as your reflexes allow. Customize your challenge speed from Normal, Fast, to Ultra-Fast modes. Get real-time reaction metrics measured down to the millisecond. 5. Rhythm Sync Test (Tempo Synchronization) Tap in perfect synchronization with a 60 BPM metronome beat. Synchronized with high-fidelity metronome sound effects, this challenge calculates your timing consistency and combo streaks. UPGRADE TO PRO ACCESS Unlimited Daily Sessions: Challenge your coordination as many times a day as you want. Detailed Progress Analytics: Unlock your full historical statistics and trend lines. 100% Ad-Free: Focus purely on your steadiness without interruptions. DISCLAIMER: Steady Hands is a dexterity and coordination challenge app intended for entertainment and training purposes. It is not a medical app, does not provide medical or health measurements, and is not designed to diagnose, monitor, or treat any medical condition (such as tremors or hand therapy).
