How It Works
BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS
brb shows your most-used apps ranked by screen time. Select the ones that steal your attention: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, whatever. Lock them all with one tap.
SET YOUR GOAL
Set your daily step goal. Your apps lock until you hit it. Want to scroll? Start moving.
WALK TO UNLOCK
Watch that ring fill with every step. Hit 100%? Apps unlock. Miss it? They stay locked. Track your streaks, compete with yourself, build habits that actually last.
Why It Works
Smart App Blocking
See your biggest distractions ranked by screen time. Safari, Instagram, TikTok - all laid out. Then block exactly what's stealing your time.
