About

Walkful

Walkful turns your daily walks into something meaningful — calmly, and entirely on your phone. Apple Health gives you the numbers. Walkful gives them meaning: progress paired with what it actually does for your health, built on the science of walking rather than the 10,000-steps myth. WHY WALKFUL • Meaning over numbers — see what your activity means, not just a count. • Private by design — everything stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no data collection. • Calm, never pushy — no pace-shaming, no leaderboards, no dark patterns. You compete only against your own records. • Evidence-based — a suggested ~7,000-step goal, grounded in recent research. FREE • Today dashboard: progress ring, distance, active minutes, floors, this-week trend and your streak. • Works with iPhone and Apple Watch via Apple Health. • Gentle, optional reminders to break up long sitting. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. WALKFUL PRO (one-time purchase — no subscription) • Insights: week / month / year trends and a full-year consistency heatmap. • Mobility & fitness: walking speed, steadiness, cardio fitness (VO₂max) and resting heart rate. • Records: best day, week and month, longest streak, most floors. • A calm monthly recap. • The interval-walking coach — guided easy/brisk sessions to boost your fitness. Walkful collects nothing. Your health data is read from Apple Health, used only on your device, and never shared or sold. Made by IAMJARL.
