Climb Time

Climb stairs. Earn screen time. Pick the apps you want to stop opening. When you try to open one, it stops. Climb one flight of stairs and you earn 15 minutes. Your iPhone's barometer counts the climb, so elevators and escalators do not count. **Free to use, from today. No account. No survey.** Your floors and your minutes stay on your iPhone. Nothing is sent anywhere. What you get for free ⢠Pick the apps to block (up to 5) ⢠15 minutes for every flight you climb ⢠Up to 60 minutes a day (resets at midnight) ⢠See "45 minutes left" and "6 floors today" on the home screen Pro ā and yes, there is a one-time purchase ⢠Choose 10, 15 or 30 minutes per flight ⢠No daily cap ⢠Block as many apps as you like $1.99 / month Ā· $11.99 / year Ā· **$29.99 once, forever** Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Before you install ⢠Climb Time needs Screen Time access. If that access is turned off, the blocks disappear with it. We tell you on the home screen and put the blocks back with one tap. ⢠**We do not claim you can never unlock it.** You can always turn it off in Settings. What this app can do is notice when it is off, and say so. ⢠Devices without a barometer cannot count floors.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lucid at none against Climb Time's 3. Lucid also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
