Why carry a key
when you have legs?

Brick$59 plastic key

The problemLeave it at home and you're stuck all day at the office. Keep it in your pocket and unlocking is one tap. One more thing to remember and lose.

SlateNothing to carry. Your steps are the key, and you never forget your legs.

Screen TimeBuilt into iPhone

The problem"Ignore limit" is one tap away. You've tapped it a hundred times. A limit you can dismiss isn't a limit.

SlateNo ignore button. 600 steps or nothing. Changes that make it easier wait until tomorrow.

Timer blockersLock until 5pm

The problemLocked, then not locked. The hours in between ask nothing of you, and the feed is waiting when the timer ends.

SlateEvery unlock costs a walk, and every next one costs more. You get the minutes and the steps.
