Walk before you scroll. MileWalk locks the apps you choose, like Instagram and TikTok, until you walk your daily distance. Hit your goal and it unlocks your daily app time budget. The apps re-lock in the evening. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that pull you in. • Choose your distance, in either miles or steps. • Your apps lock each evening and stay locked until you walk the next day. • Steps count automatically through Apple Health. • Upon reaching your walking goal, the apps unlock. They can be used for your daily app time budget, then lock for the rest of the day. WHY A WALK The walk is the fix. Daylight and movement calm the dopamine spike + crash that make the feed so hard to put down. • Better sleep within the first week. • Steadier energy, less afternoon crash. • Feel different in 30 days. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • A daily streak, plus Rest Days you earn to protect it through travel and sick days. • Emergency unlock is always available. • Only the apps you pick ever lock. Calls, texts, and maps work normally. WHAT MAKES MILEWALK DIFFERENT • No ads. Steps data stays on your phone. A subscription is required to use MileWalk.
