LogOut

Read full description

Set a timer. Your distracting apps lock: now, or the moment it ends. The only way back in is to walk. Because when scrolling has friction, stopping gets easier. That’s it. That’s the habit. HOW IT WORKS Start a session and set your timer, from 1 to 120 minutes. Then choose your approach: Delay Lock: Use your phone freely while the timer counts down. When it hits zero, your distracting apps lock. Walk your step goal to unlock. Instant Lock: Your distracting apps lock the moment the session starts, so there’s nothing to reach for while you focus. When the timer ends, the only way back in is still the same: walk your step goal of 10, 20, 30, or a custom number. LogOut enforces this using iOS Screen Time. TWO LOCK MODES Delay Lock and Instant Lock both lead to the same outcome: your apps become unavailable until you move. You choose when the friction begins. WHAT GETS BLOCKED By default, LogOut blocks every non-essential app category: Social Media, Entertainment, Games, Browsers, Shopping, and more. iOS automatically categorises your apps, so there’s nothing to configure. You can customise Focus Rules, but LogOut is designed to protect you from your future self. USEFUL ANYWHERE SCROLLING GETS OUT OF HAND Bedtime scrolling Bathroom scrolling that turns five minutes into twenty Study sessions Deep work Gaming breaks Waiting rooms, airports and commutes Any moment where you want a clear stopping point. TRACK REAL PROGRESS Every session is recorded. Track streaks, steps walked, distance, and time reclaimed. Every session counts. Every unlock is earned. FEATURES • Step or distance-based unlock goals • Automatic category blocking via iOS Screen Time • Live Activities and Dynamic Island support • Apple Watch app for starting a session, watching the countdown, and tracking unlock steps • Home Screen widget for instant sessions • Session history and streak tracking • High-contrast accessibility mode • Emergency Bypass for genuine emergencies Most screen-time apps measure your screen time. LogOut relies on walking. Privacy Policy: https://logoutapp.net/privacy Terms of Service (EULA): https://logoutapp.net/terms

Stop counting laps in your head. Orbit is the ultimate hands-free automatic lap tracker designed to track your walks, runs, and workouts—both on indoor gym tracks and outdoor paths. Using advanced sensor fusion and GPS routing, Orbit detects whenever you complete a loop, allowing you to focus entirely on your pace. WHY USE ORBIT? • Hands-Free Lap Counting: No screen tapping or button pressing required. Just start your workout, pocket your device, and let Orbit count every lap. • Indoor & Outdoor Precision: Seamlessly toggle between Indoor Mode (using motion sensors, pedometer calibration, and optional BLE beacons) and Outdoor Mode (using high-accuracy GPS). • Live Interactive Maps: See your exact walking or running route on a live map, including satellite overlays, start-line calibration, and nearby points of interest (POIs). • Voice Announcements: Stay in the zone with real-time audio cues telling you your lap count, split times, and overall pace. • Smart Calorie Burn: Uses scientific MET (Metabolic Equivalent) pace tracking and your body profile to estimate calorie burn, complete with fun food equivalents. • Personal Records & Analytics: View your historical workouts, track your fastest laps, longest duration, and celebrate milestones with a personal records trophy shelf. • Privacy First: No account creation or internet connection required.

Orbit Pro is available as a Monthly ($4.99/mo) or Annual ($29.99/yr) auto-renewable subscription. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. • Sensor Usage: Indoor tracking relies on your device’s motion sensors (pedometer/accelerometer) and Bluetooth (for optional BLE beacon track integration). • Health/Fitness: Calorie estimations are calculated using standard metabolic equivalents based on the weight you enter. Consult a physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
