StepScroll blocks the apps that eat your day and opens them again when you move. Walk, squat, hold a plank or stretch, and every step and rep turns into minutes of scroll time. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps you want to use less. StepScroll blocks them with Apple's Screen Time. • Earn minutes by moving. Your steps count on their own, from your iPhone or Apple Watch through Apple Health. Or prop up your phone and the camera counts your reps and holds. • Spend them when you like. The apps open, the timer runs, and they block again by themselves when it reaches zero. 32 MOVES, FOUR WAYS TO EARN • Workout: squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, plank, wall sit and more • Yoga: tree, warrior II, chair, downward dog, cobra, cat-cow • Stretch: forward fold, hamstring, quad, child's pose, butterfly and more • Pilates: glute bridge, the hundred, roll-up, teaser, dead bug and more YOUR RULES • Choose Gentle, Balanced or Strict, then fine-tune what every move is worth. • Set the steps that open your day and the minutes they unlock. • Minutes you earn are banked and never expire. • A real emergency? You get 3 emergency unlocks a month. SEE IT CHANGE Keep your streak, watch your steps add up, and see the time you spend in the apps you've blocked fall week by week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The camera counts reps on your phone. Frames are never recorded or sent anywhere. • Your Screen Time data and the apps you pick never leave your phone. • StepScroll only reads your step count from Apple Health and never writes to it. • No account, no sign-up.
