Daily Petal turns your daily steps into something worth watching: a flower that grows as you move. As you walk, each day blooms a little further. Check your progress from your Lock Screen, your Home Screen, or a glance at the flower itself. No charts, no pressure, just a quiet picture of how you are doing. — TWO WAYS TO BLOOM, PETAL & POSY — Choose how your month grows. Petal style blooms one flower per month, where every petal is a day. Posy style grows your weeks as living stems, where every day opens as its own bloom. Every month, your way. — YOUR MONTH IN BLOOM — In Petal style, a new flower appears each month. Every petal represents a day, growing as you move closer to your goal. It is a clear, gentle way to see your progress one day at a time. — THE BIRTH FLOWERS SET — The first Posy collection: twelve botanical blooms, one for each month of the year, from January's carnation to December's holly. Watch a week of walking become a stem of open flowers. — COLORS THAT REMEMBER — Petal and bloom colors reflect when you moved: early bird mornings, midday walks, golden hour, night owl strolls. Every flower becomes a small record of your month. — A QUIET SENSE OF PROGRESS — When you reach your daily step goal, your flower is marked with a soft golden glow. A small visual reward for staying consistent. — WALK WITH IT — Start a walk and watch your steps count up live, with your distance and an estimate of how long until today's goal blooms gold. — DAILY PETAL ON APPLE WATCH — Your bloom, on your wrist. See today's flower and your month at a glance, start a walk right from your watch, and add complications to keep your steps on your watch face. — WIDGETS THAT KEEP IT CLOSE — See your flower on your Lock Screen and Home Screen, track your step count, and check your daily goal progress at a glance. — SIMPLE, THOUGHTFUL INTERACTIONS — Tap a petal or bloom to look back on a day, drag across the flower to move through the month, or pinch to zoom in and see the details. — PETAL POWER — Unlock 18 premium flowers inspired by real blooms from around the world, including Sacred Lotus, Tropical Hibiscus, Blushing Peony, English Rose, and more. Choose which flower represents each month and make every month your own. — PRIVACY FIRST — Your health data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, and no data leaves your phone. Download Daily Petal and let every step bloom.
