Stroll before you Scroll vs Doom Walk

Tired of reaching for your phone first thing in the morning? Stroll before you Scroll helps you build a simple, powerful routine: get moving before you start scrolling. Pick the apps that distract you most — social media, news, games — and they stay locked until you hit your daily step goal. No workarounds, no snooze button. Just you and a walk. ▸ ONE-TIME PURCHASE — NO SUBSCRIPTION Unlike other app blockers that charge you every month, Stroll before you Scroll is yours forever with a single purchase. No recurring fees, no trials that expire, no hidden costs. ▸ BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE One screen. One goal. A scenic illustration that comes alive as you progress — from a misty morning path to a vibrant landscape at 100%. Choose from four handcrafted background themes: Country Path, Forest Walk, Mountain Trail, or Beach Stroll. ▸ FLEXIBLE DAILY GOALS Set a step target that fits your lifestyle — from a gentle 1,000 to an ambitious 30,000. Need different goals for different days? Set custom targets for each day of the week. ▸ CHOOSE WHEN BLOCKING STARTS Early bird who wants to check messages before heading out? Set a custom lock start time — your apps stay free until then, while your steps already count from midnight. ▸ STRICT MODE For those who mean business: Strict Mode prevents you from changing settings or removing apps from the blocked list until your goal is reached. Real accountability, no cheating. ▸ LIVE ACTIVITY & WIDGETS Track your progress without opening the app. See your steps on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and through Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — always up to date. ▸ APPLE WATCH COMPANION Glance at your wrist to see how close you are to unlocking your apps. Your Watch shows your progress ring, step count, and remaining steps. ▸ 100% PRIVATE Everything happens on your device. No account required, no data collected, no servers involved. Your step data and app choices never leave your phone. ▸ SMART NOTIFICATIONS Receive a notification the moment you reach your goal — so you know your apps are unlocked even when you are not looking at your phone. ▸ HAPTIC MILESTONES Feel a subtle vibration at 25%, 50%, and 75% — little rewards that keep you going without checking the screen. Stroll before you Scroll works with Apple's Screen Time technology to block the apps you choose. It counts your steps using the built-in motion sensor — no extra hardware needed, no GPS tracking, no battery drain. The idea is simple: a short walk makes everything better. Your focus improves, your mood lifts, and by the time you open your favorite apps, you have already done something good for yourself. Start today. Your apps will be waiting — after your walk.

Doom Walk turns your feed into a taximeter. Walking runs the meter; stopping freezes it. The apps that eat your day stay locked until you move — so the feed costs steps, not willpower. No steps, no scroll. Pick the apps you lose hours to — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, or any app on your phone — and Doom Walk shields them with Apple's Screen Time. Every step you take earns scroll-minute credit. When you want to scroll, you spend what you walked for. Stop moving, and the shields come right back. WHY DOOM WALK - Block apps the honest way: you don't fight willpower, you just make the feed cost steps. - Walk to earn: every step banks scroll minutes at a rate you choose. - Spend only what you use: unlock for 5, 10, 15 minutes or all your credit. Only real screen time is charged, and unused minutes roll back into your balance. - Beat brainrot and doomscrolling: trade the endless feed for time on your feet. FEATURES - Guard any app with Apple Screen Time — your selection stays private, even from us. - Real, honest stats — steps, distance, screen time and credit, measured not estimated. - Streaks and milestones — keep the chain alive and hit your daily goal. - Quiet hours — schedule when unlocks are off, like bedtime, work, or mornings. - Hardcore mode — lock in your resolve so there's no easy way out. - Emergency unlock — one free break a day for when you truly need it. - Widgets and Live Activity — your credit and steps on the Home and Lock Screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your steps, distance, and screen time are measured on your device and never leave it. No account, no tracking, nothing sold. Doom Walk uses Apple's Screen Time framework, so it never sees which apps you guard or what you do inside them. Perfect for a dopamine detox, digital wellbeing, focus and study, breaking phone addiction, or simply walking more. Make the feed cost steps and take your time back — one step at a time. Premium unlocks app guarding and unlimited credit with a one-time purchase — no subscription, no auto-renewal. Restore it anytime on the same Apple Account.
