CLUSTER SCREEN-TIME-ACTIVITY · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-01-14
Screen time for activity rewards
This cluster consists of mobile apps that condition screen-time access on completing real-world healthy habits, primarily walking or exercise, often using AI or step tracking for verification. Dated entries before the index start are sparse but present: a single entry in April 2024, January 2025, November 2025, and January 2026, rising to two in June 2026—indicating a thin, slow-starting series with a slight uptick in its final pre-index month. Traction is minimal, with all three listed leaders (Steppin: Steps for Screen Time, Walk Lock: Screen Time Control, HipHabit: Screen Time Control) showing zero stars, suggesting no product has yet gained notable user adoption.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
