Focus On Walk: Walk to Unlock
Not claimedYour phone locks at the time you choose each day
By Insight&myung, LLC · Health and fitnessWhy we expect it: A clever, well explained idea that turns phone breaks into daily walks, with clear escape hatches and private data.
In short
Focus On Walk locks most of your phone's apps at a time you pick each day, and unlocks once you have walked at least 10 minutes and 1,000 steps. It suits people who want a set daily walk in place of extra screen time. It stands out because every lock ends on its own after 3 hours, so a missed walk does not leave the phone locked all evening.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Your phone locks at the time you choose each day. To use it again, walk for at least 10 minutes and 1,000 steps.
Focus On Walk is a daily walk you promise yourself. Instead of another hour of scrolling, you get up and head out the door.
HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a daily walk time (7:00 PM by default, every day) 2. At that time, Screen Time locks all your apps 3. Walk 10+ minutes and 1,000+ steps, then open Focus On Walk to unlock
WALK TO UNLOCK - Keep your phone in your pocket. No need to look at the screen while you walk - Short pauses are fine: start again within a minute and your walk continues - Walking and running both count - Movement that isn't walking, like slowly shaking the phone, doesn't count - When you're done, open the app. It checks the steps recorded on your iPhone and unlocks right away
A LOCK THAT ALWAYS ENDS - Can't walk today? Every lock ends on its own 3 hours after it starts, with no payment and without opening the app - The automatic unlock time is always shown on the lock screen - If you really need your phone right now, an optional one-time in-app purchase unlocks it immediately (price shown in the app) - Phone calls and emergency calls are never locked
TRACK THE DAYS YOU WALK - Build a streak of days you unlocked by walking - See this month's walks, your walk success rate and the last 7 days - A monthly calendar shows each day's result: walked, paid, or automatic unlock
FITS YOUR WEEK - Set a different time for each weekday, or take days off - Get a heads-up 5 minutes before a lock starts (you can turn it off)
NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO ACCOUNT - No subscription and no sign-up - Your walk records and settings stay on your device - Screen Time access is only used to block other apps while locked
PERMISSIONS - Screen Time: to block other apps while locked (required) - Motion & Fitness: to check your steps (optional; without it, locks end after 3 hours or with the optional purchase) - Notifications: for lock reminders and the automatic unlock (recommended)
GOOD TO KNOW - While walking, watch where you're going, not your screen - The app shows interstitial ads - You can delete the app at any time - Requires iOS 16 or later
