Make every little walk count. WalkFarm is a relaxed pixel farming game where your everyday steps become energy for your own homestead. GROW AT YOUR OWN PACE Clear land, plant seeds, water crops, and bring in your harvest. Crops grow over several days while you are away, and dry crops pause instead of withering. Each clearing action costs 10 energy, with larger obstacles taking more clears. TURN STEPS INTO FARM ENERGY Connect Apple Health to read your step count. Every 100 newly counted steps earns 1 energy, including steps taken earlier on the day you first connect. You can also start tending your farm with the energy included when you begin. Health access is optional. FOLLOW YOUR WALKING STORY See daily step history, weekly and monthly charts, totals, and your best days. Tap a graph bar for exact steps and daily details. Daily totals follow your local time, including daylight saving changes. BUILD YOUR HOMESTEAD Unlock more seeds with earned gems, fulfill produce orders, complete journal milestones, expand your land, and build projects with gathered materials. Personalize your farmer and house, and meet your farm neighbors. Optional consumable gem packs are available through the App Store for seeds and permanent farm upgrades. YOUR FARM GOES WITH YOU Play offline and save your farm on your device. Connect Game Center for automatic encrypted cloud backups and recovery on another Apple device with the same accounts. Recovery codes and password-protected backup files are also available. Automatic cloud backups exclude step counts and walking history. The purchase service maintains your gem balance and verifies payments. Settings includes backup and restore, plus farm and account deletion. No sign-in is required to play. WalkFarm requests read access only to Steps in Apple Health. Health access can be managed in Apple Health at any time. Support and privacy: https://walk.farm
