Build a walking routine that fits your day. Stepkeep is a focused step counter for iPhone, with daily and weekly goals, useful history and a growing collection of personal milestones. Start without creating an account. MAKE EVERY WALK COUNT - Follow today's steps with a clear goal gauge, hourly activity, distance, active time and floors climbed. - Set independent daily and weekly step goals. See calendar-week progress in the app and the medium Home Screen widget. - Celebrate reaching your daily goal with a full-screen fireworks moment. Prefer a quieter finish? Turn celebrations off in Settings; Reduce Motion is respected. - Collect milestone badges for total steps, walking days, days at goal, streaks and big days. See achievement dates, personal bests and progress towards your next badge, then share an earned milestone. - Turn your accumulated walking distance into journeys along real routes, from a marathon to the Kokoda Track and beyond. SEE YOUR PROGRESS - Explore week, month and year history. Tap a day on a chart to keep its details visible. - Enjoy a two-pane view of Today and History on the unfolded iPhone Duo. - Keep progress close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Siri, Shortcuts and Action button support. - Share progress cards and export your step history. - Optionally include steps, walking distance and flights climbed from Apple Health, including walks recorded by Apple Watch. There is no separate Watch app. - Try optional on-device walking ideas and walking-trend insights on compatible devices with Apple Intelligence available. MAKE TIME FOR A WALK Choose optional walking reminders for the time and weekdays that suit you. Reminders follow your chosen schedule and start only after you enable them and allow notifications. WALK AT YOUR OWN PACE Read an offline guide to pacing, comfortable footwear, gradual progress, supporting strength and knee care, with links to original sources. Preview optional age-based targets, adjust the numbers and apply them to your daily goal, with the option to update your weekly goal too. Your age group is saved locally only when you apply a target and can be forgotten without changing your goals. No birth date is needed. The guide offers general information, not medical advice or an injury-prevention guarantee. Age alone cannot determine a suitable step target; the presets remain yours to adjust. YOUR WALKING DATA STAYS WITH YOU Stepkeep reads motion data locally and reads Apple Health only when you enable it. Your walking history, goals and saved age group stay on your device. Stepkeep does not send health or motion data, goals or your age group to the advertising SDK. Sharing happens only when you choose to share or export. The free version includes banner ads. A single, non-renewing purchase removes ads permanently.
