Zen Walk transforms your daily walks into beautiful tile art, offering a minimal and innovative walking experience. Based on Zen philosophy, it provides a simple and calming way to track your movement. Visualize Your Walks with Tiles Every step you take creates 500m×500m tiles on the map. As you visit places and walk distances, tiles change color, turning your city into your personal art canvas. Three Tile States • Unvisited Tiles (Gray): Areas you haven't explored yet • Visited Tiles (Blue): Areas you've walked today • Checked-in Tiles (Green): Areas where you've walked 300m or more Simple and Beautiful Statistics Review your walking habits with daily, weekly, and monthly statistics. Track progress through tile counts rather than complex numbers, making it easier to stay motivated. Time Machine Feature • Review past walking history • Display tiles by date • Track your growth journey • Rediscover memorable places Premier Access • Unlimited history beyond 7 days • Detailed statistical graphs for trend analysis • Customize tile colors • CSV data export feature • Ad-free, focused experience Widget Support • Check progress on home screen • Lock screen widget compatible • Choose from 3 sizes • Real-time updates Privacy Focused • Location data processed on device • No external server transmission • Minimal permission requirements • Your data stays yours Zen Walk Features Embodying the Zen principle of "Less is More," enjoy the pure act of walking without being caught up in detailed step counts or distance metrics. Turn your daily walks into an artistic journey through your city. Train and car movements are automatically excluded, recording only pure walking activities. With continuous background location tracking, your walks are recorded automatically without opening the app. Power-efficient design minimizes battery impact.

Read full descriptionHide full description
Step Squad Go turns your daily steps into character transformations. Choose a character, set your daily step goal, and start a 3, 7, or 10 day transformation. Each day you reach your goal, your character gets closer to their fit form. Complete the full streak to earn a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal and add the transformed character to your squad. Step Squad Go is designed to make walking feel more rewarding. Instead of only seeing numbers, you build a growing team of characters shaped by your real daily activity. Features: - Start 3, 7, or 10 day transformation challenges - Set your own daily step goal - Transform characters by completing daily goals - Earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medal versions - Build and grow your personal squad - Unlock extra characters with optional rewarded ads - View your progress on Apple Watch - Use Watch widgets to keep an eye on your active transformation - Join the leaderboard only if you choose to share your daily step summaries - Switch between English and Turkish - Delete your account directly from the app Privacy-first progress: Step Squad Go reads step count from Apple Health only after you give permission. The app does not upload raw HealthKit history, minute-by-minute activity, or hourly movement data. Challenge progress uses daily step summaries, and leaderboard participation is optional. Step Squad Go is built for motivation, consistency, and habit building. It is not medical advice or a medical tracking app.
