Product information
What this product does
Mozy helps you break the scrolling habit by turning your physical activity into screen time. Walk. Earn screen time. Unlock apps. No walking? No scrolling. Mozy is a unique app blocker and step counter that rewards movement instead of punishing phone use. Every step you take earns screen time minutes that can be used on your favorite apps. Once your earned time runs out, Mozy blocks access until you get moving again.

Problem Solved
What problem does Mozy solve?
For iPhone and Android users who lose evenings scrolling Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or playing games. Traditional screen-time limits are easy to dismiss when tired, so one quick video can turn into hours of scrolling. Mozy locks chosen apps when earned minutes run out and requires walking to regain access. For example, someone opening Instagram late at night must walk 1,020 steps to earn another 30 minutes.
