What it is

WalkLock is an iPhone app that locks selected apps until you reach a daily step goal. It reads steps from Apple Health and unlocks automatically when you hit the target.

Who it's for
  • iPhone users who want less screen time by walking more.
  • People who prefer step-based accountability instead of timers.
  • Anyone who wants a simple, low-friction setup.
How it works
  1. Choose the apps you want to lock and set a daily step goal.
  2. WalkLock reads step counts from Apple Health (iPhone or Apple Watch).
  3. When your goal is reached, locked apps unlock automatically.
Limitations / anti-cheat

Manual steps do not count. WalkLock requires Screen Time permissions and Apple Health access, and it only supports iOS 18+.

Privacy in one paragraph

WalkLock uses anonymized usage analytics and Apple Health step counts to power unlocks and measure effectiveness. Detailed step data stays on-device, is never sold, and you can revoke Apple Health access at any time.
