Waddle: Walk to Unlock

About this app

Your phone is a slot machine. Waddle makes you earn it. Pick the apps that eat your day - Instagram, TikTok, whatever your poison - and Waddle locks them until you've walked. Hit your daily step goal and they open. Fall short and they stay shut. Simple, physical, honest. There's a duck in a cage. He's you. He stays locked up, crying, while you doomscroll - and the closer it gets to midnight, the more miserable he gets. Walk your steps and the bars shatter. He's free. So are your apps. WALK TO UNLOCK • Choose which apps to gate - you're in control • They open when you reach your step goal, re-lock when your earned minutes run out • Earn extra minutes by out-walking your goal EXPLORE YOUR CITY Your walking map — reveal your city as you walk. Every step fills in your personal map and unlocks real landmarks around you. Find your friends — see who's already walking with Waddle, add friends, and keep each other moving. KEEP YOUR STREAK • Every day you hit your goal builds your streak • Streak freezes protect you when life gets in the way • A live countdown on your Lock Screen when the clock's running out DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS DOWN • Start a shared streak with a friend - it only grows on days you BOTH walk • Get pinged the moment a friend finishes, so you're not the one who breaks it • Climb weekly leagues from Bronze to Diamond and race your friends city, country, and worldwide EARN YOUR PLACE • 10 divisions, each with its own duck to unlock and wear • 20 trophies to collect • Weekly quests and reward chests Waddle is built for people who know they scroll too much and want a reason to move instead. No shame, no lectures - just a duck who needs you to walk, and apps you have to earn. Touch grass. Earn your scroll. — Waddle uses Apple Health and your phone's motion sensor to count steps, and Screen Time to shield the apps you pick. Your data stays on your device; we never sell it.

Your home screen just got more useful. You can now change which apps are locked, your daily step goal, and your screen time budget right from home, no more digging through settings. The step and screen time sliders even respond under your finger as you set them. We also added more landmarks to the map, including cathedrals and famous churches, plus better translations across the app and a few fixes.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
