Dev here - I had this idea while commuting some time ago and decided to code a little app around it: StepLock works like your standard app blocker, except that to unlock apps you have to walk a set amount of steps.<p>Just add any of your apps to the block list and set the number of steps you need to walk that day. StepLock will monitor your usage and won&#x27;t let you use the app until you walked that specific amount.<p>The only thing is that the app use the &quot;new&quot; generation step detection sensors which are designed to be low power and have a minimal impact of battery, and are only present on newer-ish phones. Sorry in advance if the app is not compatible with your device.
