Strut vs Totem

Walk more. Earn screen time. Take control of your habits. Strut turns your daily steps into screen time you can actually use. The more you move, the more minutes you earn — then spend them to temporarily unlock the apps you've chosen to restrict. It's screen time management powered by your own two feet. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your daily step goal and a screen time cap 2. Pick the apps and categories you want to block 3. Walk — your real steps (from Apple Health) are converted into screen time minutes 4. When you're ready, start an unlock session (15, 30, or 60 minutes) to use your blocked apps 5. When the session ends, your apps are re-blocked automatically REAL BLOCKING, NOT REMINDERS Strut uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce actual app blocking at the system level. When an app is blocked, you'll see a custom shield screen showing how many minutes you've earned and what sessions are available. No workarounds, no "dismiss and keep using" — your apps stay blocked until you've walked enough. KEY FEATURES • Step-to-minutes earning — a transparent formula converts your real steps into screen time, with anti-cheat filtering that excludes manually entered data • Configurable goals — set your daily step target (2,000–20,000) and max screen time (30–240 minutes) • Block list management — choose individual apps, entire categories, or web domains to restrict • Streak tracking — see your consecutive days hitting your step goal, with milestone celebrations • Statistics dashboard — 7-day step chart, calories burned, distance walked, and app usage breakdown • Smart sessions — unlock sessions never cross midnight and re-block automatically, even if Strut isn't open • Fail-open safety — if anything goes wrong, your apps are unblocked, never locked out • Guided onboarding — a 6-step setup that walks you through permissions and app selection HEALTH & PRIVACY Strut reads step count, active energy, and walking distance from Apple Health. Your health data stays on your device and is never sent to any server. Strut uses HealthKit data solely to calculate your earned screen time. SUBSCRIPTION Strut requires a subscription to activate app blocking. You can restore purchases at any time from the paywall screen.

Most app blockers fail for one reason: the "skip" button is always within reach. Totem moves it across the room. Lock your most distracting apps and websites behind a real object in your home: a book on the shelf, the kettle, a stone by the door. Want them open? You get up, walk to your totem, and scan it. The apps unlock for the time you chose. That short walk is the pause that was always missing. Willpower isn't the fix. Distance is and most days you won't even reach the totem. The walk ends the urge before you get there. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps and sites that pull you in. 2. Choose when they're locked — a daily schedule, a focus session, or a daily limit. 3. Register a real object as your totem (scan it by Photo, Object, QR sticker, or NFC tag). 4. To open your apps, walk over and scan. No scan, no scroll. WHY IT WORKS • Your apps go quiet — during your blocks, iOS shields the apps you chose. They're still yours, just resting. • A real object holds the key — other blockers keep the bypass a tap away. Totem puts it across the room. • The walk is the choice — by the time you reach your totem, the impulse has usually passed. Scan only if you still mean it. WHAT YOU GET BACK Totem counts the hours it guards for you — and you'll feel them: an evening that's actually yours, the book you keep not finishing, the streak you don't want to break. FEATURES • Block any app or website with Apple Screen Time • Scheduled blocks, instant focus sessions, and a focus countdown timer • Daily limits — cap minutes or number of unlocks per app • Three ways to scan — photo recognition, QR sticker, or NFC tag • Hard Lock — once a block starts, the only way past is the walk • Streaks & insights — guarded hours, scans, and your most-walked totem • Gentle, never-shaming nudges (plus sleep mode, accent colors, and haptics) ** All features described above required subscription.* BUILT ON YOUR OWN NUMBERS Five quick questions. Then Totem does the math you've been avoiding: what your current pace costs you this year — and over a lifetime. No guilt. Just your number, and a lock with a walk attached. YOUR PRIVACY STAYS YOURS Totem only ever receives anonymous tokens from Apple — it never sees the names of the apps you pick. Your answers and your plan stay on your iPhone. Setup takes about five minutes. Pick your totem, and from here, it's just a walk. Requires Screen Time permission (Family Controls).
