Steps up. Screen time down. Walk steps for screen time, and lock your friend's apps to help them focus. Your apps run on Jells. Walk to collect Jells and feed them to your apps for more screen time. When you run out of screen time, your apps lock. Earn screen time for every step you walk. WHY BLOCKERS STOP WORKING A blocker asks you to say no. That is you against your own thumb, and the off switch is right there. Instead you will have to sacrifice a cute Jell for time, and you have to get up and move around to end the doomscrolling cycle. A PLAN BUILT FROM YOUR NUMBERS Jellwalk reads your average steps and asks your average screen time, then sets your goal from there: Easy is 10% more steps and 10% less screen time, Medium is 25% and 20%, Hard is 50% and 30%. WHAT YOU COLLECT As you walk, you get random Jells. Collect them all and compare your collection with friends! LOCK YOUR FRIEND'S APPS Lock your friend's apps to help them focus. About one in three Jells is a Lock Jell: drop it on a friend's app and it stays locked until they walk and spend a Jell to open it. They can lock yours back. See each other's steps and screen time if you both want to. All of it is optional. Switch it off and they see nothing. No emails, just sign in with Apple, and that is all we get. Apple's Screen Time framework means Jellwalk cannot see which apps you open, or anything you look at. No ads. Your data is never sold. Jellwalk reads your steps from Apple Health and uses Apple's Family Controls to lock the apps you pick. Backups live in your own iCloud. Ready to be more present? Put the phone in your pocket and go.
