Your phone owns you.
Earn it back.
Pick the apps that drain you. Set the steps to unlock them. Walk to break the seal — your most distracting apps unlock the moment you hit your milestones.
What You Get
Screen time control that actually makes you move
Lock Any App Behind Steps
Choose the apps that steal your time. LockStepper uses Apple's Family Controls to enforce the lock — no workarounds, no cheating.
Real-Time Unlocks
The moment you hit a step milestone, your apps unlock instantly — no manual check-in, no delay. HealthKit and Core Motion keep it honest.
Streaks & Streak Freezes Pro
Build momentum with daily streaks. Missed a day? Use a streak freeze to protect your streak without losing your progress.
Flexible Weekly Scheduling Pro
Set rest days so your phone isn't locked on Saturday. Build a schedule that actually fits your life.
Auto-Escalating Goals Pro
Your daily step target grows automatically as your fitness improves. The bar moves with you so there's always a challenge worth earning.
Pace Nudges & Evening Summary
Get a gentle nudge when you're falling behind on your pace. An evening summary shows what you unlocked — and what you left on the table.
Lock Screen Widget & Live Activity
See your step count and unlock progress directly on your lock screen or in the Dynamic Island — no need to open the app.
Apple Watch Companion
Track your steps and milestone progress right from your wrist. The watchOS app keeps you in the loop without pulling out your phone.
100% On-Device. No Account.
Your step data and app selections never leave your phone. No sign-in, no tracking, no cloud server — just you and your goals, synced privately through iCloud.
Why LockStepper?
Your phone should work for you — not the other way around.
Most screen time apps guilt you into putting your phone down. LockStepper takes a different approach: it makes you earn access back. Pick the apps that drain you the most, set a step milestone, and go walk. When you hit your goal, the lock lifts automatically.
No loopholes. No manual check-ins. Just a simple trade — movement for access — backed by Apple's own Family Controls framework and your real step data from HealthKit.
Built for iOS 17.6 and Apple Watch, entirely on-device, with no account required.
