About StepLimit: Walk to Unlock
What if your phone unlocked itself when you walked? StepLimit is a self-restriction tool for people who think they spend too much time on their phone. You set a daily step goal. Your chosen apps stay locked behind a Screen Time shield until you've walked far enough. When you hit your goal, the shield clears — automatically. No willpower required, no daily promises, no "just one more video." This is friction, not a cage. You decide what to restrict. You decide the goal. You can always grant yourself a grace pass on a rest day. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Block one distracting app of your choice • Convert HealthKit steps into earned screen time • 3 grace passes per month (for rest days, sick days, real life) • 7-day step history • Daily auto-reset at midnight PREMIUM • Block any number of apps simultaneously • Block whole categories — Social, Games, Entertainment • 6 grace passes a month (twice the rest days) • Apple Watch companion — track steps without your phone • Full step history, every day, forever • Custom step thresholds per app PRIVACY Your step data, app restrictions, and grace-pass ledger live entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no third-party analytics. Crash diagnostics via Sentry only, with all personal identifiers stripped. The walk-to-unlock mechanic and the Screen Time integration are completely free. Premium unlocks supplementary features. Walk first. Scroll later. — Subscription terms: • Weekly: $1.99/wk · Monthly: $4.99/mo · Yearly: $24.99/yr • 7-day free trial (new subscribers) • Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions Terms of Service: https://steplimit.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://steplimit.com/privacy-policy
What’s new
Version 1.0.5 · Updated September 30, 2026
More reliable blocking, day and night. • Your apps stay locked in the morning until you earn new time, even before your first steps. • The block screen and widget no longer show yesterday's steps and minutes after the daily reset. • Editing your apps no longer ends an active grace pass or briefly locks apps you have time for. • The daily reset happens at the right time on nights when the clocks change. • Fixes a false "Screen Time Access Lost" alert on recent iOS versions.
