Walk your steps.
Your apps unlock.

StepGate locks Instagram, TikTok and any app you choose behind your daily step goal. Hit the goal, earn your phone back. That's the whole deal.

How it works

01

Pick your poison

Choose the apps that eat your day with Apple's own Screen Time picker. StepGate shields them with the real thing — not a flimsy reminder.

02

Set a step goal

Onboarding computes a starting goal that matches your life, and ramps it gently. Rest days and bypass passes are built in — it's a coach, not a warden.

03

Walk. Unlock. Repeat.

Steps come straight from Apple Health. Hit the goal and every gated app opens for your unlock window. Streaks keep you honest tomorrow.

Private by design

No accounts. No server. No analytics. Your steps and your app choices never leave your phone — Apple's Screen Time API means StepGate can't even see which apps you gate.
