Walk. Dig. Reveal. Turn every step you take into a treasure hunt. Your real-world steps power a pickaxe that slowly cracks open a rock β and when you hit your goal, a hidden gem is revealed. The walk you were going to do anyway finally pays off. β HOW IT WORKS β β’ Walk. Your steps (read securely from Apple Health) chip away at the rock, stage by stage. β’ Dig. Watch the rock crack across multiple stages as your daily steps add up. β’ Reveal. Reach your goal and pull out the gem hiding inside. β’ Collect. Every gem lands in your collection β 10 gems across 4 rarities, from common Rose Quartz and Citrine to legendary Moonstone and Diamond. Can you find them all? β’ Share. Export your reveal as a video or photo card and show off what you dug up. β WHY YOU'LL KEEP WALKING β β’ A real reason to hit your step goal every day β your "silly little walk" is now excavation work. β’ Stock your extra steps and set a new rock whenever you're ready. β’ Home Screen widget shows your rock, your day count, and your progress at a glance. β’ Light & dark themes, with optional automatic switching by time of day. β OPTIONAL UPGRADES (IN-APP PURCHASES) β DigStep is free to play. If you want rarer finds, faster: β’ Silver & Gold Stones β guarantee higher-rarity gems on a dig. β’ Gold Stones can even turn a word you "bury" into an AI-crafted gem, fossil, or relic. β’ Silver Plan / Gold Plan β auto-renewable monthly subscriptions for unlimited premium stones (Gold also unlocks the stats dashboard). β’ Stats Dashboard β a one-time unlock for monthly stats and personal bests. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/privacy β PRIVATE BY DESIGN β β’ Your collection and progress stay on your device. Step data is read from Apple Health and never leaves your phone. β’ No account. No social feed. Just you, your steps, and what you dig up. Crystal lover, step-counter, or just someone who wants a reason to move β DigStep turns walking into something worth opening.
