Walk more, weigh less. Steplio turns your daily steps into a simple, personalized weight-loss plan — automatically. No manual logging. Steplio counts your steps and calories in the background, syncs with Apple Health, and shows exactly how close you are to your goal. Free to start. - JOURNEYS: WALK THE TOKAIDO Your daily steps now take you somewhere. Steplio moves you along the real Tokaido road from Edo to Kyoto — 53 stations, about 495 km — using your walking distance from Apple Health. Nothing to start: just walk. • Every station unlocks a Hiroshige woodblock print (Hōeidō edition, 1833–34) with a hanko stamp and a few facts about the place. • Arrival animations, share cards and a certificate when you reach Kyoto. • My Path draws everything you've walked, or just the last 30 days, 3 months or a year, as a circle around your home city. • Your own route: any city to any city, like Kyiv to Paris, with the cities on the way. • Home Screen widgets with your current print and a mini route, and a Lock Screen widget for progress. The Tokaido is free. The Camino de Santiago, Hadrian's Wall, Route 66 and your own routes come with Steplio Premium. Prints are public-domain images from the Art Institute of Chicago. - STEP & CALORIE COUNTER Automatic step counting using your phone's built-in sensor. Track distance, calories burned, and pace in real time — all synced with Apple Health. - WEIGHT LOSS, MADE SIMPLE Enter your current and target weight and Steplio builds a personalized daily plan — exactly how many steps and calories you need each day to reach your goal on time. The weight tracker shows your weekly trend and forecasts the date you'll reach your goal. Add the fasting tracker and water tracker to stay on course. - GPS ROUTE TRACKING Record every walk with live GPS mapping. See your routes, elevation, speed, and distance — beautifully visualized on an interactive map. - 40+ WALKING WORKOUTS & TRENDING CHALLENGES Structured walking workouts for all levels — from beginner strolls to HIIT intervals. Try the viral protocols everyone's talking about: Japanese Walking (3 min fast / 3 min slow), 12-3-30, the 6-6-6 walk, Retro Walk and a post-meal Glucose Walk — with voice cues and haptic interval alerts. - SMARTER THAN A PEDOMETER Steplio adapts to your body, not just your step count: • Recovery Score — a 0–100 morning readiness score from your HRV, resting heart rate, sleep and yesterday's activity sets a personalized step zone for today. Walk smarter, not harder. • Cycle-aware goals — your daily step goal adapts across all four menstrual phases, automatically from Apple Health. • Breathing exercises — Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Calm Down and Energize with animated guidance. • Focus timer — Pomodoro-style sessions with built-in walking breaks. - QUIT SMOKING TRACKER Quitting smoking? Set your quit date and watch your smoke-free time, money saved, cigarettes avoided and life regained grow in real time. When a craving hits, tap SOS: guided breathing and a short walk with a live step count help you beat it. A health recovery timeline shows your body healing milestone by milestone — from 20 minutes to a full year. New Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your progress in view all day. Slipped? Start over without judgment. Not a smoker? Hide it with one tap. - STAY MOTIVATED Build a daily habit with streak tracking and 24 unlockable achievements. Earn streak freezes that protect your streak on a missed day, and share your streak card with friends. Weekly and monthly charts for steps, distance, calories, and heart rate keep you on track. Purchasing unlocks premium features including every journey beyond the Tokaido, your personalized day plan, fasting guidance, a GPS walking tracker, motivating workout walks, cycle-aware goals, and HRV recovery insights.

Stride

Nothing worth building happens in a day. Stride is the habit tracker that helps you show up, see your progress, and keep the streak alive — one day at a time. Whether it’s a morning routine, the gym, or drinking more water, Stride makes it simple to stay on track on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. TRACK YOUR HABITS, YOUR WAY Create habits in seconds — from scratch or from a ready-made template — and check off a yes-or-no habit with a single tap. Pick an emoji and a color for each one, and arrange your list to match how your day runs. Not every habit is a simple yes or no. Measurable habits let you set a daily target and a unit, so “Drink Water — 8 glasses” or “Run — 5 km” tracks the amount, not just the checkmark. And not every habit is daily. Choose every day, a set number of times per week, or specific days — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday only, if that’s your gym schedule. Hit a weekly goal on whichever days suit you; that streak counts weeks, not days. STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Stride counts every streak automatically, so you can watch your momentum build. On a day your habit isn’t scheduled, it’s a rest day — it never breaks your streak. Miss a day? No guilt — just pick back up. Any streak can be shared as an image. STATISTICS & HEATMAP The Activity Heatmap is a color-coded grid of your last 12 weeks. You also get your current and best streak, a strength score that recovers from a missed day, your 30-day completion rate, and how you do by weekday. For a specific-days habit, that rate counts only the days it was due. Forgot to check in? Fix past days in your history. WIDGETS ON IPHONE AND IPAD Widgets in every size: small, medium, and large on the Home Screen (and extra large on iPad), plus circular, inline, and rectangular on the Lock Screen. See today’s progress without opening the app — and from the medium and large widgets, tap a habit to check it off right there. REMINDERS FOR EVERY HABIT Give every habit its own reminder, at exactly the time you want it. Morning meditation at 7 AM, evening journal at 9 PM — Stride nudges you at the right moment, so the habit sticks. Mark it done or snooze it from the notification. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Check in on your iPhone, review your stats on your iPad, finish the day on your Mac. With a free Stride account, your data follows you. STRIDE PRO Almost everything is free: unlimited and measurable habits, flexible schedules, widgets, reminders, the heatmap and statistics, templates, streak sharing, CSV or JSON export, and sync. Stride Pro adds three things: • Habit Groups — organize habits into collapsible groups • Advanced Analytics — Insights, the 8-week Trend chart, the Strength chart and your top 5 streaks • Weekly Review — a look back at how your week went YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your habit data is yours. Stride keeps it on your device unless you sign in to sync; when you do, it goes to Stride’s own server and is used only to keep your own devices in step — never sold, never shared for advertising. Stride collects anonymous crash and diagnostic reports to fix bugs; they contain no habit content and are not linked to your identity. START TODAY You don’t need a Monday, a new year, or a fresh start. You need today. Download Stride and check off one habit. PURCHASE & SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Stride Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. The Lifetime purchase is paid once and does not renew. For subscriptions: payment is charged to your Apple ID account on confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
