What it does

Native screen time limits fail because they are too easy to bypass. Steppio replaces willpower with actual physical friction. It locks your most distracting apps and forces you to earn your screen time by walking. Every 100 steps equals 1 minute of access. What makes it different: • Real physical cost: You can't just tap "ignore limit." • Beast Mode: A strict, zero-override lock until you hit your daily step goal. • Streaks: Miss a day, drop to zero. Consistency is key!

Steppio locks distracting apps until you walk enough steps to unlock them. Built for people tired of losing hours to 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. Mindless opening of apps is interrupted instantly. You must make a conscious choice. Trade static scrolling for active steps. Earn your leisure time through physical effort. Willpower fails. Systems work. Steppio builds a reliable boundary for your attention. Set a step threshold. Your apps remain locked until you hit your target. Over time, the friction reduces…from steppio.netlify.app

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
