You spend most of your day sitting. You know walking is good for you, but between work, meetings, and life, it’s easy to forget. And most fitness apps ask for a big commitment: workout plans, memberships, calorie counts. Steps Widget asks for much less. It puts your step count where your eyes already go, on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy, checks your day every hour, and nudges you to stand up only when you’ve been sitting a little too long. Not a fixed hourly alarm. A few hundred extra steps here and there soon become part of your day, and those small moments add up. You don’t need to become a different person. Just move a little more today than yesterday. That’s how habits begin. DESIGN IT YOUR WAY A step counter you find ugly ends up on page three, and a buried reminder is no reminder. The style editor lets you pick colors, gradients, and layouts, give light and dark mode their own look, and save your favorite styles to reuse on any widget. Or pick a photo you love: Steps Widget can pull a matching palette from it, or place the photo right behind your step count. THE SMART NUDGE When glancing isn’t enough, Nudge steps in. It learns your routine right on your device and shows up once, only when you’ve actually gone still. One nudge, when it’s earned, and nothing otherwise. Don’t like how a reminder reads? Rewrite it yourself, or let Apple Intelligence reword it on your device. WHEN YOU WANT THE LATEST NUMBER iOS decides when widgets refresh, so your widget catches up through the day rather than the second you walk. When you want to watch the number climb, open the app for a count straight from your iPhone's motion sensor, or use the Apple Watch app to follow your steps as you go. NEW: SHARE YOUR STEPS AND YOUR STYLE Send today’s steps, your widget, or a style you made into any conversation, with a note of your own. In Messages, a step ranking shows who has walked the most today. KEY FEATURES • Beautiful Widgets: Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy, with ring, chart, gauge, and compact layouts. • Style Editor: Colors, gradients, and light and dark looks, saved as your own styles. • Photo Styles: Turn any photo into a palette or a widget background. • Smart Nudges: Learns your routine, alerts you only when you’re inactive, in wording you can edit. • Motion Sensor Count: The app reads your iPhone's sensor for a fresher number. • Standalone Apple Watch App: Runs on its own, with complications and move reminders on your wrist. • Insights: Your week, your past year, your best day, and where today will land. • Siri and Shortcuts: Ask whether you’re on track, or drop your steps into a shortcut. • Guilt-Free Tracking: No streaks to lose, no maps, no noise. Just a clean step counter. NO GPS. BARELY ANY BATTERY. Your iPhone already counts steps with its built-in motion sensors through Apple Health. Steps Widget simply shows that data—no background GPS tracking, no constant polling, no battery drain. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device. The app collects no personal identity information. FREE TO START Default widget styles and goal reminders are free. A subscription is only needed to change your style with the style editor or photo styles, and the style you built stays on your widgets when a subscription ends. See your steps, get a gentle nudge. Move a little more every day. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can I set my own daily walking goal? Yes. Pick the number of steps a day that suits you, and the progress ring fills as you walk toward it. Why doesn’t my widget update the moment I walk? iOS schedules widget refreshes, so the number catches up through the day. For an up-to-the-minute count, open the app or use the Apple Watch app. Do I need an Apple Watch? No. Steps Widget works on iPhone alone using Apple Health step data. With an Apple Watch you also get complications and move reminders on your wrist. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
