Block apps until 10,000 steps on iPhone
No watch needed. Your iPhone counts the steps, and Dwar keeps the apps shut until they’re in.
What you need
An iPhone. It counts steps by itself when it’s with you, and Dwar reads today’s total from Apple Health.
Set it up
- Open Dwar and choose Doom scrolling. Pick when it holds: All morning, During work, After work or All day.
- Pick your social apps in iOS’s own picker.
- Set the goal in steps. Dwar suggests a number; drag it to 10,000.
The lock screen counts down, “2,140 steps to go”. Tap Check again when you’re back.
Honest limits
Steps restart at midnight. A phone left on the desk counts nothing, so carry it. And there’s no ignore button: when you truly need an app, take a pause of five, fifteen or thirty minutes.
Is 10,000 the right number?
Set what you’d actually walk on a normal day plus a little. The gate is there to move you, not to beat you.
