DoomStroll

DoomStroll is the screen time control app that doesn't lecture you. It just locks the apps you can't stop opening, until you've walked enough steps to earn them back.

500 steps earns 1 Doom Scroll, worth 15 minutes of unlocked screen time. Walk to stack them up. Burn one when you actually want to scroll. When the 15 minutes is up, the apps lock again.

How it works

1. Pick the apps that own your attention.
2. Walk. Your phone is already counting your steps. DoomStroll just gives them a job.
3. Earned screen time stacks up as Doom Scrolls in your Scroll Stash.
4. Burn a scroll when you want to use a blocked app. You get 15 minutes.
5. When the window closes, the apps lock again. Walk more, scroll more.

Why this works when "screen time limits" don't

Apple's built-in limits run on willpower. Tap "Ignore Limit," they're gone. DoomStroll doesn't ask you to resist. It asks you to walk. The cost of doomscrolling is just one step in front of the other, repeated until you've earned it.

Most days you'll walk more than you used to. Some days you won't. Either way, you'll know exactly what your scrolling is costing you.
