WayOut is a digital wellbeing app that requires users to earn their screen time through physical activity. It blocks apps at the iOS system level, making it impossible to bypass the restrictions without meeting the walking requirements.

The app uses a currency system called Neon that users earn with every step they take. This currency can be spent to unlock popular apps like Instagram, TikTok, or games for timed sessions. When the allocated time expires, the apps lock again automatically. The system includes progression through 11 cyberpunk-themed leagues to motivate continued use.

WayOut operates on a privacy-first principle and supports 9 different languages. The free tier is fully playable, providing complete functionality without requiring payment. The app's unique approach lies in its system-level blocking that eliminates the possibility of cheating or bypassing restrictions.

The primary benefit is improved digital wellbeing by creating a direct connection between physical activity and screen time access. This approach helps users develop healthier habits without relying on willpower alone, as the technical restrictions enforce the behavior change.

WayOut targets iOS users seeking to reduce screen time and increase physical activity. It specifically appeals to those who struggle with self-control around social media apps, games, and other time-consuming applications on their mobile devices.
