Why yesterday

You can't negotiate with a day that's already over.

Same-day apps have a flaw. At 11 PM, when your willpower is at its lowest, you can still panic-walk your way into another hour of scrolling.

Tollgait funds today from yesterday. There is nothing to negotiate. You either banked the movement or you didn't.


How it works

  • Walk today, and tomorrow's budget builds as you move.
  • At 4 AM, yesterday's steps become today's minutes.
  • Open one of your gated apps and the clock runs.
  • When the budget is spent, the gate closes until the next rollover.

You choose which apps are gated, and how many minutes 1,000 steps buys.

Built so you can't talk your way around it

  • Changes that make things easier wait until the next rollover. Changes that make things stricter apply immediately.
  • Hand-entered step data is ignored. Only movement your device actually recorded counts.
  • Websites are gated too, so the browser isn't a free lane around a blocked app.
  • If something goes wrong, the gate stays shut. It fails closed, never open.

Real life still happens, so a few times a day you can open the gate for a few minutes with an emergency pass. It's visible, it's counted, and it runs out.
