Skrid

About Skrid

Skrid is an iPhone app for people who want to scroll less without relying on willpower alone. You pick the apps, categories and websites that take up too much of your day, and set a daily screen time limit. Once you hit the limit, Skrid blocks them.

The twist is how you get more time. Every step you walk adds coins to your balance, and you can spend those coins on extra minutes whenever you want them. A daily step goal keeps an energy meter full, and missing it drops the energy until you reach the goal again. Steps, screen time, coins and energy are all charted day by day so you can see how your habits change.

Skrid is built on Apple Screen Time and is free to try on the App Store. It suits anyone who finds that plain app blockers never stick and would rather earn their phone time through a short walk.
