Walk more. Scroll less. Earn your screen time.
Stride turns your daily step goal into a key that unlocks the apps you love. Choose the apps you want to spend less time on, set a step goal, and walk — every step you take earns you more screen time.

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────
1. Choose apps you want to use less — social media, games, streaming, anything.
2. Set a daily step goal (default: 10,000 steps).
3. Walk to earn time: hit your goal and unlock screen time in your locked apps.
4. Stride tracks steps using your phone's built-in pedometer — no wearable needed.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
──────────────────────────
Stride is designed for people who want healthy friction — not a hard block. It doesn't delete your apps or lock you out permanently. It simply makes sure you've earned the right to open them. Walk your steps, unlock your time, stay in control.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
──────────────────────────
Stride uses Android's AccessibilityService API to detect the moment you open an app you have chosen to lock, so the step-goal lock screen can appear instantly. This is how app locking works.
Stride only reads which app is currently in the foreground. It never reads screen content, text you type, passwords or any personal data. This information is used only on your device to show the lock screen — it is never collected, stored off your device, or shared with anyone.
Enabling this service is optional and requires your explicit consent in Android settings. Stride asks before taking you there, and you can turn it off at any time.

PRIVACY
──────────────────────────
• No ads, ever
• Your data is never sold or shared
• Step counts and total screen time are stored privately in your account
• Which apps you open is processed on your device only and is never uploaded
