* To show you information about steps, distance, calories, and other parameters, we need to access your movement and fitness data. Please allow access when you see corresponding system request. If you missed this request earlier, you can configure this in your phone settings (activate “Motion & Fitness” toggle switch). Please enable Game Center in the Phone settings to get an everyday rating (the moving stripe at the top of the main screen), competitions, and additional motivation. See for details and many clarifying videos here https://www.instagram.com/hodokee_steps, https://twitter.com/HPedometer. * The app will enable you to better understand your capabilities – you will be able to assess how much you are already moving and how much you can potentially move with health benefits and without harm to your career. Hodokee automatically counts the number of your movements using data obtained from Apple motion coprocessor (works on all iPhone models starting from iPhone 5s). The app also: - Automatically distinguishes between walking and running; - Can keep track of bicycle activity in manual mode using GPS/GLONASS data; - Counts the number of steps, the distance covered, speed, pace and amount of calories burned for three types of activity, using modern algorithms; Hodokee features different ways of self-control and motivation: - Smart substrates that help to search for free time for activity even on the busiest day; - Setting targets on number of steps taken, distance covered and number of calories burned; - An easy way to organize daily trainings + automatic pause when you stop; - Special trainings with GPS/GLONASS; - A full range of necessary statistical information; - Import your previous data from the Health app to Statistics; - Ratings and competitions (including running) with other app users and friends (without registering! Using Game Center only); - Ratings and competitions among people of the same profession (400+ professions for you)!; - And, of course, you can share your achievements with friends! And also: - Taking records of calories consumed and calories burned during other workouts; - A convenient weather forecast for home and work locations, taking into account the UV Index to help you plan your outdoor activities to prevent overexposure to the sun's rays; - A widget + quick access to the app features (paid version). Small tips: Find opportunities for physical activity (especially walking). Go by foot to your usual destinations. Often get a break from sitting at your computer and go for a walk. Perhaps, it's worth walking to a more remote café for a lunch. Just think up any physical activity and we will support you. Gradually increase the intensity of your activity. For example, if you don’t use to run before, begin with small distances and watch your pace. Be sure to monitor your condition during and after every exercise. Be extremely careful if you have health problems or if you are pregnant. Premium Subscription ensures the absence of ads in the application and opens up additional features that enhance the application's usability.

One number, one ring, one goal. Tally Steps shows you how far you have walked today and nothing else. No coaching. No streaks. No badges for getting out of bed. It reads the step count your iPhone and Apple Watch already record, and it draws it plainly. TODAY A single ring against your daily goal, with distance and active energy underneath. Drag the goal, or type an exact one. THE MONTH, AND THE YEAR Every day as a square, darker the further you walked. Tap any day to see it, page back through earlier months, or open the year to find one. ON YOUR WRIST A watch app, and three complications for the corner, circular and rectangular slots — so the number is on your watch face without opening anything. WIDGETS Small and medium for the Home Screen, plus Lock Screen widgets. They keep up in the background. LIGHT OR DARK Follows your phone, or pin it either way in Settings. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Nothing about your activity leaves your device — the app reads Health, stores a copy on your phone so the widgets can draw, and that is the whole of it. FREE The whole app, with nothing held back and nothing to unlock. If you would like to support it, Settings has a tip jar. It is entirely optional and changes nothing about the app. Requires access to Health for steps, walking and running distance, and active energy. Tally Steps only reads; it never writes anything back.
