Steppio — Your screen time should be earned.

Designed against compulsive scrolling.

Modern apps are engineered to trigger dopamine loops. Breaking out of autopilot requires friction. By linking physical movement to digital consumption, we create intentional pauses in your daily tech use.

🛑

Friction by default

Mindless opening of apps is interrupted instantly. You must make a conscious choice.

🚶

Movement before consumption

Trade static scrolling for active steps. Earn your leisure time through physical effort.

🧠

Behavior over motivation

Willpower fails. Systems work. Steppio builds a reliable boundary for your attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Steppio work?

Steppio asks you to select apps you want to use less. Once selected, those apps are locked. To unlock them for a set amount of time, you must accumulate a specific number of walking steps in the real world.

Can I choose which apps to lock?

Yes. You have full control over your blocklist. You can lock social media, games, or video apps, while keeping essential apps like maps, messaging, and phone calls fully accessible.

Does it work with Android Health Connect?

We are building Steppio to integrate seamlessly with native Android health sensors and APIs to ensure step tracking is accurate and battery efficient.

What is Beast Mode?

Beast Mode is an optional setting that removes all override features. When active, you cannot bypass the lock screen or uninstall the app easily until your step goal is reached.

When does the app launch?

We are currently finalizing the core mechanics. By joining the waitlist, you will be notified the moment we open our closed beta for early adopters.
