Padlog turns a quick snap of your under-desk treadmill or walking pad screen into a proper workout log. No Bluetooth pairing, no account, no typing numbers in by hand. HOW IT WORKS • Photograph the time, distance and speed screens as your walking pad display cycles • Padlog reads the digits on your phone and fills in your stats • Anything it can't see, it works out: distance from speed and time, calories from distance • Check the numbers, tap to fix anything, and save TRACK EVERY WALK • Daily walking time, distance, speed, calories and steps • Weekly history with a 7-day chart and totals • Several walks in one day are added together automatically • Step estimates from distance, or measured steps from Apple Health when you connect it STAY MOTIVATED • Set a weekly step goal and watch the progress bar fill up • Build a daily walking streak • Personal records for your best day, best week, best month and longest walk • 16 badges to earn, from your first walk to a million steps • A celebration screen every time you beat a record or unlock a badge PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Photos are read on your iPhone and are not uploaded or kept • No account and no sign-up • Your walking log stays on your device • Apple Health is optional, and Padlog only writes workouts you confirm MADE FOR DESK WALKERS If you walk while you work on an under-desk treadmill or walking pad, Padlog gives you the log your treadmill never did. It's designed for walking pads with bright LED digit displays that cycle between time, distance, speed and calories. Padlog is free. Snap your next walk and start your streak today.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Padlog at none against Loaded's 1. Padlog also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Loaded's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
