Mozy: Walk to Unlock Apps
🌱 Walk More. Scroll Less. Unlock Apps with Movement.
Mozy helps you break the scrolling habit by turning your physical activity into screen time. Walk. Earn screen time. Unlock apps. No walking? No scrolling. Mozy is a unique app blocker and step counter that rewards movement instead of punishing phone use. Every step you take earns screen time minutes that can be used on your favorite apps. Once your earned time runs out, Mozy blocks access until you get moving again.
The idea came from a simple realization: every screen time app failed for me.
Whenever I hit my limit, I'd just tap "Ignore", "15 more minutes", or disable the blocker entirely. 😅
So instead of trying to rely on willpower, I built something different.
Mozy lets you earn your screen time by walking.
When your time runs out, your distracting apps lock. Want more Instagram, YouTube, or Reddit? Go for a walk and earn it back.
The goal isn't to punish you—it's to make healthier habits feel natural.

Turning steps into earned screen time instead of just nagging you at a limit is a clever flip, the ignore-and-add-15-minutes problem is exactly why most blockers quietly fail. How did you land on the steps-to-minutes ratio, is it fixed or can you tune how much walking a scroll session costs you? Curious whether people push it toward strict or lenient once the novelty wears off.
Does the step tracking happen in the background while your phone is in your pocket, or do you have to keep the app open for it to actually count toward your screen time balance?
