What it does

Unhook.app helps control your smartphone addiction by replacing a bad habit with a good one. For each category of apps, set a daily time limit. When time's up for the day, you can simply take a walk to gain access. Every 100 steps gets you 10 mins of time back. Turn your unhealthy scrolling habit into a healthy strolling one!
