Stroll turns your steps into screen time. Stroll is a step counter and gentle app blocker built around one simple loop: walk more, earn screen time, and use distracting apps with more intention. If you want to reduce screen time without quitting everything at once, Stroll gives you a calmer way to change the habit. Move your body, earn app time, and pause before another scroll. Set a daily walking target, choose how many steps unlock a minute, and pick the apps or categories you want to slow down. As you walk, Stroll turns your steps into earned time. When your earned time runs out, Stroll helps pause your chosen apps or categories. That small pause gives you a moment to step away instead of falling into another scroll. Why Stroll: • Turn daily steps into earned screen time • Use a step counter built for digital wellness • Reduce doomscrolling without harsh blocking • Build healthier phone habits with a calm pause • Choose the apps or categories you want to slow down • Track your walking target and step progress • See earned time and used time clearly • Walk to unlock screen time more intentionally • Compare steps on optional global and country leaderboards • Follow daily, weekly, and monthly rankings • Share your rank with friends • Use a clean, lightweight app with no ads How it works: 1. Set your daily walking target 2. Choose how steps earn screen time 3. Pick apps or categories to slow down 4. Walk to earn time 5. Use earned time more intentionally 6. Optionally join the leaderboard for extra motivation Optional Social leaderboards: Want a little extra motivation?

You can also share your rank with friends and browse other country leaderboards. Joining is completely optional. Sign in with Apple or Google, confirm your display name and country, and choose whether to participate. You can leave the leaderboard or delete your account at any time. All core Stroll features remain available without signing in. Stroll is for people who want to move more, scroll less, reduce screen time, and build better digital wellness habits without going cold turkey. Privacy-first permissions: Stroll uses Apple Health to read step totals when you allow access. This lets Stroll calculate earned screen time from your walking activity. Stroll uses Apple Screen Time permissions so you can choose apps or categories to pause. Apple keeps Screen Time details private, so Stroll does not see your screen content, messages, or the individual apps inside a selected category. If you choose to join the leaderboard, your display name, optional profile photo, country, eligible step totals, and rank are visible to other leaderboard members. Stroll does not upload your routes, precise location, workouts, heart data, complete Health record, or selected Screen Time apps and categories.
