Step N Scroll turns your daily steps into screen time. Choose the apps that pull you in, set a step goal, and those apps stay locked until you have earned them. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps you want to block - Set your daily step goal - Your chosen apps stay locked until you reach it - Walk, and they unlock automatically COACH The reach for your phone is automatic, and willpower is not much of a defence against it. When you open a blocked app several times in a few minutes, Coach steps in, asks what is actually going on, and hands you a short reset instead of the feed. Over time it shows you your own patterns: what tends to trigger you, and when it hits hardest. AI PROGRESS SCAN See where the walking is taking you. Take a full-body photo and Step N Scroll generates a preview of your projected progress, saved so you can compare before and after as the weeks go by. TRACK THE HABIT - Daily streaks and a progress ring - Weekly and monthly step history - Calories and activity trends SUBSCRIPTION Step N Scroll is free to use. Your step count, daily goal, streak and app blocking — the whole loop — stay free, with no ads. A subscription adds Coach, AI progress scans, Trends and Records, and outdoor walk recording with a route map. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial - cancel any time before it ends and you are not charged. A weekly plan is also available and does not include a trial. Prices vary by region and are always shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings. Restore purchases is available directly on the paywall.

Headspace wants an hour. Reset wants five minutes. One small ritual a night. No streaks. No guilt. No 40-minute guided meditation that you'll feel bad about skipping. Just one quiet thing to put the day down. — WHAT A RESET FEELS LIKE — Tonight's ritual is already picked for you when you open the app. Tap it. Breathe with the orb for five minutes. Or write one line in your journal. Or just listen to soft rain. That's the whole thing. You're done by the time your kettle boils. — WHY PEOPLE USE IT — • After a long shift — decompress before you hit the couch • Can't sleep — put the day down in 5 minutes, not 45 • Bad day — no setup, no choice paralysis, just press start • Share a Reset Card to your story when you're ready to talk about it — WHAT'S INSIDE — • A small library of 5-minute rituals: breathwork, gratitude, soundscapes, journaling, and gentle stretches • A dusk-themed interface designed to be readable in bed • Shareable Reset Cards — a quiet, aesthetic way to mark a good night • Local-only by default: no account, no cloud, no data harvesting • A streak you can't lose — we count the good nights, we don't punish the misses • Dynamic Island support — your ritual timer stays visible when you minimize — RESET PLUS — Unlock the full library and every new ritual we add: • Weekly — $4.99 / week, with a 7-day free trial • Yearly — $39.99 / year (about 85% less than the weekly run-rate) Cancel anytime in Settings. The free trial converts automatically unless you cancel before day 7. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. — THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY — We don't think wellness apps should feel like homework. Reset is deliberately the opposite of an ambitious meditation course. It's the five quiet minutes between the last thing and sleep. Tired is not a badge. Put the day down. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://culi.app/apps/reset/privacy-policy
