GrindCred:Walk for Screen Time

Grind Cred

About this app

Tired of endless scrolling? GrindCred helps you reduce screen time and build healthier habits by making you earn app usage through physical activity.
Walk to unlock Instagram. Move to use TikTok. Your screen time is no longer free.
HOW IT WORKS
Walk & Earn Credits
Every step you take earns credits. 1,000 steps = 10 credits. The more you walk, the more credits you bank.
Control Distracting Apps
Choose which apps to block—Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or any app stealing your focus. When you try to open them, GrindCred shows an overlay requiring credits.
Use Credits for Screen Time
10 credits = 10 minutes of app usage. Want to scroll for an hour? Walk 6,000 steps first.
Track Your Progress
View daily steps, weekly activity, earned credits, and app usage history. Hit milestones to unlock bronze, silver, and gold rewards.
