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.
