SolWalks

Features
Read full description

SolWalks is a tool that helps you develop a habit of taking outdoor walks at the time intervals most efficient to synchronize your circadian clock. In the early 2000s, a type of photosensitive cell called ipRGC was discovered in the human eye. These cells are involved in registering the ambient light illuminance on a subconscious level. It is proved that this signal is the main way to synchronize the body's circadian clock. Spending most of the day indoors and using artificial light frequently can lead to desynchronization of your circadian clock, impaired sleep, increased fatigue, and a depressed mood. SolWalks has a built-in light meter that will allow you to assess the ambient light illuminance, in a similar manner as it happens on a subconscious level. The app is integrated with HealthKit. It visualizes your HealthKit walks data, raising your awareness of the time you spent outside and motivating you to stick to the habit of walking at the optimal time of the day.

Stepping Stone is a step counter, designed to help you as much as it possibly can on your journey of improvement: FREE, WITH NO CATCH Every feature in this app is free. There are no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no ads anywhere. The only things for sale are optional cosmetic skins, a way to support the app if you ever want to, never a requirement. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Steps are counted on your device, using your phone's built-in motion sensor. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking. We never see, sell, or share your data. We couldn't even if we wanted to, because nothing leaves your phone. MAKE IT YOURS Skins re-theme the entire app to match your personality. You can preview any skin for free before deciding to buy it. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Stepping Stone is solely made by me, and I think health should be free and honest. Join the Discord server (in Settings) to shape what comes next, including community-designed skins. WHAT IT DOES • Responsive step count that ticks with every step • Daily goal with a progress ring you can set to any target • Distance, calories, and walking-time estimates • Recent-day history at a glance • Four full app skins (one free, three optional) • Light and dark modes for every skin • Works entirely offline WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No ads • No subscriptions • No account required • No data collection Good luck out there.
