Daily Petal turns your daily steps into something worth watching: a flower that grows as you move. Every day adds to your garden. Enjoy a quiet picture of your progress, explore your activity with Rhythm, or let your everyday steps carry you along a real-world trail. A little movement, something beautiful to show for it. — TWO WAYS TO BLOOM: PETAL & POSY — Choose how your month grows. Petal style creates one flower per month, with a petal for every day. Posy style gathers your days into flowering stems, with a bloom for each day. Two different ways to see your steps come to life. — COLORS THAT REMEMBER — Your petals and blooms reflect when you moved: early mornings, midday walks, golden hour, and night owl strolls. Reach your daily step goal for a golden highlight. Each month becomes a picture of your own rhythm. — GET TO KNOW YOUR RHYTHM — Look beyond today with activity charts and comparisons. See this week beside last week, explore your month, and discover how your walking is changing—all without losing the flowers at the heart of Daily Petal. — TURN STEPS INTO ADVENTURES — Follow real-world trails through interactive 3D landscapes modelled from real routes and elevation. Your everyday steps move you along the journey, wherever you actually walk. Start with Skyline Trail on Mount Rainier, free for everyone. Full Bloom unlocks all 10 trails, including the Inca Trail, Milford Track, West Highland Way, and Tour du Mont Blanc. More destinations are planned for future updates. — GO FURTHER WITH FULL BLOOM — Full Bloom is an optional one-time purchase, with no subscription. • Year in Bloom: gather your monthly flowers into a bouquet and explore a recap of your steps, best day, best month, and longest streak. • Past years: revisit the walking history available in Apple Health, with a bouquet for each year. • Your week, your way: set a different step goal for each weekday and choose rest days that don’t break your streak. • Patterns: discover when you walk, a checkpoint to aim for, and how much extra walking could help on days you fall short. • All 10 trails: give your daily movement a new destination. — WALK WITH IT — Start a walk and follow your steps and distance live. See an estimate of how long remains until you reach today’s goal. On Apple Watch, heart rate and pace appear right on your flower as you walk. — YOUR GARDEN, AT A GLANCE — Keep your flower close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. On Apple Watch, see your progress, start a walk from your wrist, and add flower or trail complications to your watch face. — MAKE IT YOUR OWN — Explore optional flower collections, available as separate one-time purchases: • Petal Power: 18 flowers inspired by blooms from around the world. • Birth Flowers: twelve botanical blooms, one for each month. • Mid-Century Garden: a different artistic take on your growing garden. Petal and Posy styles are available without buying a collection. Flower collections and Full Bloom are purchased separately. — PRIVACY, THOUGHTFULLY — No Daily Petal account is required. Your steps, motion data, workouts, and routes are not uploaded to our servers or our feedback service. Basic app activity and an anonymous installation identifier are shared with our updates and feedback service. Feedback and roadmap votes you choose to submit are sent to that service. Find more details in Settings. — HELP DAILY PETAL GROW — Have an idea? Share specific requests through the in-app roadmap. Need support or want to send feedback directly? Email through Settings—I’d love to hear from you. Let every step bloom.
