An app blocker that rewards walking
Most app blockers work on a fixed schedule or a daily timer. Stroll works on earned time: the minutes you can spend on your chosen apps come from the steps you take.
Earned time versus a fixed daily timer
A daily timer gives you the same allowance every day and stops when it's used up. Earned time is variable — a quiet day gives you fewer minutes, an active one gives you more. Neither approach suits everyone; earned time tends to fit people who would rather trade something than be shut out.
What Stroll limits, and what it doesn't
Only the apps you add to your chosen list use earned minutes. Everything else on your phone — calls, messages, maps, camera, work tools — is untouched by Stroll. You can change the list at any time.
What the pause looks like
When your minutes run out, Stroll shows a pause screen instead of the app. There is no lockout period to wait through: walk, earn more minutes, and the app opens again. You can also raise or lower your earn rate in settings if the balance isn't right.
Platform differences worth knowing
On Android, Stroll uses Health Connect for steps and Usage Access with Accessibility to show the pause. On iPhone, Stroll uses Apple Health for steps and Screen Time to manage the apps or categories you pick, which works in unlock sessions rather than continuous tracking.
Questions people ask
Is this the same as a daily time limit?
No. A daily limit gives you a fixed allowance each day. With Stroll, the allowance depends on how much you walk, and it can grow during the day if you move more.
What if I need an app urgently?
Only the apps you add to Stroll are limited, so calls, messages, maps and anything else you did not select stay available. For a selected app, you need earned minutes to open it.
Can I change what's blocked later?
Yes. You can add or remove apps from your chosen list and change your earn rate whenever you like.
