StepLock • Walk & Unblock Apps
Free AppAbout StepLock • Walk & Unblock Apps
StepLock An innovative self-control tool which blocks applications of your choice until you walk a specific amount of steps every day.
Simply pick the app from a list of installed apps on your device, sets the amount of steps needed for you to use it and get walking! StepLock will count your steps, and block the app when you open it if the steps target is not reached.
StepLocks make use of the hardware step detector sensors introduced with Android 4.4, which are designed to be low power and have a minimal impact of battery - however, this sensor is only present on newer (2014+) phones. If you find unable to install the app on your device, it probably means it lacks the appropriate sensor. Sorry!
StepLock is completely free to use with a in-app purchase which unlocks full functionality - allowing you to block more than 2 apps and activate blocks only on specific days of the week.
On Android 6.0 onward, the app needs App Usage Access permission to work correctly. If required, you will shown a short message prompt asking you to enable it. StepLock does not use App Usage Data for any other reason than its core functionality.

First, it doesn't show all apps. It shows FB Lite but not the main FB app. Second, the app list is totally random. How about alphabetical order here. And last but by no means least. It would be better if the app locked after a certain amount of inactivity and to unlock you had to get up and walk.

Every time I tried to open the app, it would immediately crash. Basically just a space waster on my phone.

For game addicts, like myself, this is a great tool. Possible feature to add is auto lock the app after X amount of time.
