About Strut: Steps Earn Screen Time
Walk more. Scroll less. It really is that simple. Strut turns your daily step goal into the key that unlocks your favorite apps. Choose the apps you waste the most time on, set your step target, and Strut keeps them locked until you've earned them. No willpower required — just put one foot in front of the other. YOUR STEPS, YOUR RULES Set a daily step goal that works for you. Strut tracks your progress in real time through Apple Health and adjusts throughout the day based on your walking schedule. Hit your goal early? Your apps unlock for the rest of the day. Fall behind? Strut keeps you honest. THREE LEVELS OF ACCOUNTABILITY Not everyone needs the same push. Choose the level that fits your lifestyle: - Gentle: A friendly reminder that you're behind — no blocking, just awareness. - Moderate: Apps are blocked, but you get a few snoozes when you really need access. - Strict: No exceptions. Walk first, scroll later. DESIGNED AROUND YOUR DAY Pick a walking schedule that matches your routine — morning walker, lunch and after-work, evening walker, or steady throughout the day. Set your active hours so blocking only applies when it should. Your phone, your schedule, your terms. STREAKS THAT MATTER Every day you hit your goal counts. Build streaks that keep you coming back. Life happens — use a weekly streak freeze so one off day doesn't break your momentum. WALK WITH FRIENDS Add friends, climb the leaderboard, and challenge each other to step competitions. A little friendly rivalry makes the habit stick. SEE YOUR PROGRESS A beautiful dashboard shows your step ring, hourly breakdown, and real-time pace throughout the day. Swipe over to your activity view for history, trends, and a stark look at what your screen time really costs you. CELEBRATE THE WINS When you hit your goal, you'll know it. Confetti, haptics, and the satisfying feeling of earning back your screen time. It never gets old. Strut is for anyone who knows they should walk more and scroll less but needs a reason to actually do it. No guilt. No lectures. Just a simple trade: steps for screens. Download Strut. Start walking. Earn your apps. — Strut is free to use. Strut Pro unlocks unlimited app blocking, extra weekly streak freezes, all strictness levels, custom walking schedules, active hours, and advanced insights. Free 7-day trial, then $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Friends, leaderboards, and challenges are always free. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
