## What is Wayfarer?

Wayfarer is a simple step counter. Open it and see today’s steps, distance and stairs at a glance, set against a beautiful painted scene. No goals, no streaks and no pressure.

SIMPLE STEP COUNTING

Wayfarer reads the steps your iPhone already counts in Apple Health, so there’s nothing to set up. See today’s steps, how far you’ve walked and your last seven days in one calm view. Every day has one distance, so Today and Stats always agree.

SEE HOW YOUR WALKING ADDS UP

Stats is one calm page: this month’s calendar with your good days marked, your last six months, and everything since you started, each set against your own usual. Tap any day for its steps, distance and stairs, or look back at any earlier month.

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY

Your steps sit on paintings of five famous walks: the Kumano Kodo in Japan, the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the West Highland Way in Scotland, the Appalachian Trail in the United States and the Milford Track in New Zealand. Each day brings a new place, painted for the morning, afternoon and evening. The painting follows your local weather and gently moves with it: grass and trees sway in the wind, rain ripples on rivers and lochs, birds cross the valleys and fireflies blink at night. Keep every walk, or choose the one you love.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your walking history stays on your iPhone. Wayfarer has no account, advertising or developer analytics, and never writes to Apple Health. Weather is optional and uses your location only while the app is open.

Wayfarer asks to read Step Count, Walking + Running Distance and Flights Climbed from Apple Health.
