You don’t lack willpower. You have too many apps built to hook you.

Batt puts a pause between you and your phone: a walk, a run, a few minutes of movement. By the time you’re back, you’ve already done something good for yourself.

Based on studies from

The Batt Method

You swap the habit of using your phone for the habit of moving.

A four-step loop built on the science of habits and mental health.

  1. 01

    Pick your apps

    Choose the apps that steal your time and energy: social feeds, short videos, games. Batt locks them. Removing easy access works better than willpower.

  2. 02

    Move

    Walk or run: every minute you move charges your battery. For now, Batt counts your steps, but very soon it will add cycling and bodyweight workouts, and connect with your favorite fitness apps. Swapping sitting time for movement lowers the risk of depression.

  3. 03

    Unlock

    1 minute of movement = 1 minute of use in your locked apps. Use them whenever you like, knowing what they cost: every scroll session was earned by moving. You decide, not the algorithm.

  4. 04

    Level up

    Streaks and levels turn movement into a routine. Habits come from repetition, not willpower: the more you show up, the easier it gets and the more energy you have.

Frequently asked questions

Why exercise instead of just blocking apps?

Blocking alone leaves a gap, and the old habit comes back to fill it. Replacing a bad habit with a good one works better than only removing it. And moving lifts your mood: there is more and more evidence that exercise helps prevent and ease depression.
