Steppin, developed by Paul English, encourages users to reduce screen time by rewarding physical activity. Users can set their own parameters and earn restricted app time by completing steps. The author tested it for a week and found significant changes; they engaged in morning walks instead of scrolling social media, leading to more productive mornings and a refreshing start to the day. The app’s unique approach combines fitness with time management, making it easier for users to shift their habits positively.
I normally use my evenings to unwind by scrolling social media. But on that day, by 5 p.m., I had only tracked 200 steps.
The more steps you take, the more time you are granted to use your restricted apps.
At the end of the day, I had built up credit and could choose how much of my earned time to spend on my restricted apps.
I felt refreshed and ended up with more productive mornings.
