How it works

Your steps are the key

1

Pick your apps

Choose the apps that steal your time — social, video, games. WalkFirst locks them with Apple's Screen Time framework.

2

Set a step goal

Pick a daily goal that fits your life. Steps sync automatically from Apple Health — no manual logging.

3

Walk to earn time

Hit 50% of your goal and earn 10 minutes. 75% earns 15. The app tells you exactly how many steps buy your next unlock.

4

Hit 100% — unlimited

Reach your full goal and your apps are yours for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, the walk starts again.

Every step buys screen time

Block Instagram, X, TikTok — any app you choose. The list shows exactly what's locked and how many steps buy your next unlock: "174 steps to 50% — earns 10 min."

Numbers that keep you honest

Weekly, monthly and yearly charts with daily averages, goal rate, and personal bests. Watching the average climb is half the motivation.
