As I've been reducing digital noise in my life, I couldn't find a step tracker that aligned with my values. So I built one for myself. It's the digital minimalist's step counter: Shows literally just steps and progress Home screen widgets that display only a number No feeds, streaks, or other attention hooks Data stays on your device I've been using it for months, and recently added widgets so I don't even have to open the app anymore.
