## What is SimpleStep?

Your steps, without the clutter.

SimpleStep is a simple iPhone pedometer that shows today’s steps, walking and running distance, and goal progress at a glance. Look back at your activity with weekly, monthly, and yearly charts.

No ads. No account. No tracking.
One purchase, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• View today’s and past days’ steps, distance, and goal progress
• Swipe to move between days and chart periods
• Review weekly, monthly, and yearly step charts
• See totals and averages for steps and distance
• Tap a weekly chart bar to view that day’s activity
• Set a daily goal from 1,000 to 30,000 steps in 1,000-step increments
• Show today’s steps on the app icon badge with notification permission
• Receive a silent goal notification once per day
• Choose light, dark, or system appearance

IPHONE-RECORDED ACTIVITY
SimpleStep reads Steps and Walking + Running Distance from Apple Health. Only records created by your iPhone are included. Apple Watch data, manual entries, and records written by other apps are excluded.

Health data is read-only and stays on your iPhone. SimpleStep does not send your health data to an external server.

Distance is displayed in kilometers. Step badges and goal notifications update when you open or return to the app, or when HealthKit delivers a background update. They do not update continuously while the app is closed.

REQUIREMENTS
An iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
Languages: English and Japanese.
