TrueSteps is the step counter that respects you: beautiful, genuinely free, and private by design. No account. No GPS. No tracking. Just your steps, counted honestly — right on your iPhone. Most pedometers are loved for the basics and resented for everything else: paywalls, surprise renewals, ad overload, and counts that lag or can't be corrected. TrueSteps fixes the basics and never gets in your way. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Real-time counting — your steps tick up live, no refreshing. • A beautiful home screen — one calm "Aura" ring shows your progress at a glance, with distance, calories, active time, and floors. • Steps to go — see how many steps are left and about how long a walk gets you there. • Hour-by-hour view — see exactly when you move most, today. • Trends — clean Week, Month, and Year charts with a simple "you're trending up" read. • Fix any day — tap a day to correct its steps if your phone wasn't with you. (Almost no other app lets you.) • Streaks that forgive — one free rest day a week keeps your streak alive. A missed day never feels like failure. • Awards & personal bests — milestone badges, longest streak, best day, and more. • Walk Mode — start a walk and watch your live pace and cadence, with zero GPS. A calm summary when you're done. • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — your ring, always a glance away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN TrueSteps counts steps using your iPhone's motion sensor only — no GPS, no location permission, and no Apple Health access required. There's no account and no sign-up, and your step history is stored on your device. We have no servers and never see your data. Want proof? The in-app Privacy panel lets you export everything (or erase everything) in one tap. FREE, FOREVER No subscription. No in-app purchases. TrueSteps is supported by polite, non-personalized ads that never cover your steps and never track you across apps. Download TrueSteps and start counting — honestly.
