Borneo Walks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Borneo is a step and wellness tracker with a cute bear. He helps you walk more, sleep better, drink enough water and spend less time on your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH BORNEO • Track your steps, distance and progress toward a daily step goal • Lock distracting apps until you reach your goal, or every night at bedtime • Count a proper workout as today's goal • See your sleep. After a short night, Borneo makes today's goal a little smaller • Log glasses of water with a tap, in the app or on your Home Screen • Do guided breathing sessions that are saved to Apple Health as mindful minutes • Get a nudge when you have been sitting for more than two hours • Get reminders before your deadline • Have Borneo find a free spot in your calendar and add a walk to it • Run a timer from 1 to 60 minutes for workouts, stretches or walks • Earn honey for extra steps and spend it on treats, a day off or a chat with Borneo • Start step challenges with friends, family or coworkers • Look back at statistics, personal records and notes for each day • Keep Borneo on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and Apple Watch HE HOLDS YOUR APPS HOSTAGE Pick a step goal, a time to reach it by, and the apps you'd rather not open all evening. Miss the deadline and those apps stay locked until you reach your goal. Hit the goal and they open again, and Borneo cheers up. You can also keep apps locked from morning until you've walked enough, or lock them every night so there's no TikTok at 1 a.m. You decide every part of the deal, and you can change it any time. HE HAS A MOOD, AND YOU CAN SEE IT Borneo is happy, worried, grumpy, panicking or fast asleep, depending on how your day is going and how much time is left. You'll find him in a Home Screen widget, on your Apple Watch, and in a Live Activity while a timer runs. Poke him to see how he feels about it, but every poke adds a few steps to your goal. HE NOTICES WHEN YOU HAVE SLEPT BADLY Borneo reads last night's sleep and lowers today's goal a little after a short night. If a goal ignores how you slept, you'll soon start ignoring the goal. MORE THAN STEPS Tap the water glass next to Borneo each time you finish a glass. Breathe with him for three minutes, using box, calm, steady or 4-7-8 breathing. He'll tell you when you've been sitting for too long, and he can look at your calendar and add a walk to a free slot. WALK FURTHER AND EARN HONEY Steps beyond your goal turn into honey. Feed it to Borneo, take a day off with nothing locked, or buy a day of conversation. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Borneo talks back and tells you what he thinks of your week. The chat runs entirely on your iPhone. CHALLENGES Create a step challenge, choose the dates and the daily goal, and send the link to friends, family or coworkers. Everyone picks the name they want to show up as. You get a leaderboard and a day-by-day chart comparing you with anyone you choose. Winning a challenge of a week or longer earns honey. Only your steps for those dates are shared, and only after you join. A TIMER THE BEAR HOLDS FOR YOU Set a timer from one to sixty minutes. Borneo holds his stopwatch while it runs, counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and plays a loud alarm when time is up. STATISTICS THAT FIT ON ONE SCREEN Weeks, months, sleep, personal records and the days you reached your goal. Add a note to any day, and share a card of anything you see. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs of any kind. Your health data is read on your iPhone, used on your iPhone and never sent anywhere. Challenges use your own iCloud account. There's no Borneo server to send anything to, because there is no Borneo server. Available in English, German and Ukrainian. Borneo needs Apple Health and Screen Time permission to work. Chatting with Borneo requires an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Borneo Walks at none against StepCard's 5. Borneo Walks also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). StepCard's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
