## What is Walking Buddy?

Reminders that say how many steps to take and keep you moving through the day instead of one long walk in the morning or evening. Walking Buddy reads your steps from Apple Health, learns your usual pace, and nudges you when the day starts to slip. No account, no ads.

STEPS THAT ADD UP
See today's count from Apple Health on a ring with your goal, how far you are ahead of or behind pace, and where the steps landed hour by hour.

REMINDERS SIZED TO YOUR DAY
Instead of "walk more", each nudge tells you how many steps to take right now to stay on pace, and stops once the goal is done. Choose your active hours and days. Snooze a nudge or mark the day done straight from the notification.

YOUR USUAL PACE
Walking Buddy learns your typical day from the past four weeks and tells you whether today is ahead, on track or behind, with a projection of where the day will land.

HISTORY THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Week, month and year views, goal-met days, streaks with rest days that do not break them, and a Steps Log calendar back to your first recorded step. A weekly recap arrives every Sunday evening.

WALKING BUDDY PRO
- Reminders on your schedule: every hour, twice an hour, fixed intervals, or your own times
- Keep the nudges coming after the goal
- Custom reminder messages
- Streak protection: one missed day a week does not break your streak
- Trends and All Time: four-week trend, this week, month and year against the last, the year as a heat map, typical day with weekday and weekend averages, and every year since your first step

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics. Step data is read from Apple Health and stays on your iPhone. Goals are stored locally.

Walking Buddy works with iPhone step counting and with Apple Watch data that syncs to Apple Health.

Pro is a subscription, monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial, charged to your Apple ID and renewed unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage it in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
