## What is Walk & Hatch?

A pixel-art step counter where every step hatches an egg. Your commute and your evening walk become time spent collecting companions.

WALK TO HATCH
- Put an egg in an incubator and walk. Every step brings it closer to hatching
- Bigger eggs take more steps, but rarer companions are more likely
- Reach your daily step goal to receive a new egg
- Hatch more to unlock extra incubators and warm several eggs at once

CATCH THEM IN THE GRASS
- The grass rustles as you walk. Search it and a wild companion pops out in your Garden
- Tap fast to catch it in the Garden before time runs out, or it gets away
- Morning or night, sun or rain, the season, a full moon: who appears keeps changing
- Complete "Today's request" and that day's companion comes to you

80+ COMPANIONS TO COLLECT
- Three rarities: Common, Rare and Legendary, plus very rare color variants
- Everyone you meet is recorded in your collection
- More companions are on the way

A REAL STEP COUNTER
- Automatic step counting with Apple Health
- Set your own daily goal and follow it on a progress ring
- Distance, flights climbed and your streak
- Calendar heatmap plus 7, 30 and 90-day charts

WIDGETS
- Small: today's steps and progress ring
- Medium: recent days and the steps left until your egg hatches

BONUS: THE GARDEN
- Companions you meet on your walks can live in the Garden, a small bonus game inside the app. They wander around and gather acorns
- Bring two of the same companion together and they evolve, through three stages. Evolved forms show up in your collection
- Raise one to its third stage and you get a thank-you egg, which you hatch by walking
- Acorns keep piling up while the app is closed, so you can play at your own pace between walks

CLASSIC STYLE
- The previous screens are still here. Switch any time under "Screen style" in Settings
- "Where Am I?" (AI insights about your location, on-device with Apple Intelligence, iPhone 15 Pro or later) and achievement badges live in Classic

PERSONALIZATION
- Theme colors and dark mode
- 33 languages

Privacy first: Your step data never leaves your device. Location is only used when you tap "Where Am I?", and the AI runs entirely on your iPhone — nothing is sent to a server.
