Walk Lock – Earn Screen Time by Walking
Turn every step into a reward.
Walk Lock helps you build healthier screen habits by letting you earn screen time
through physical activity. Instead of endless scrolling, you'll unlock your favorite
apps by reaching your daily step goals.
Choose which apps you want to limit, set your own reward rate, and stay motivated to
move more every day.
How It Works
• Select the apps you want to lock.
• Set how many steps are required to earn screen time (for example, 50 steps = 1 minute).
• Walk, exercise, or stay active throughout the day.
• Walk Lock reads your daily step count and converts it into earned minutes.
• Earn screen time and use your favorite apps guilt-free.
It's a simple way to reduce screen time while increasing your daily activity.
Steps and Health Connect
Your step count is the only thing that unlocks your apps, so Walk Lock needs an
accurate daily total.
Walk Lock counts your steps on its own using your phone's built-in step sensor — no
other app required. It can also read your daily step count from Health Connect, so
steps already recorded by the fitness app you use (Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fitbit
and others) count toward your earned time too. Without this, walking tracked by
another app would earn you nothing.
Walk Lock only reads Steps. It never writes to Health Connect, and does not request
heart rate, sleep, location, or any other health data. Your step data stays on your
device — it is never uploaded to our servers, shared, sold, or used for advertising.
You can use Walk Lock without granting Health Connect access; it will simply count
only the steps it measures itself.
