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. Journeys are free. 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 your personalized day plan, fasting guidance, a GPS walking tracker, motivating workout walks, cycle-aware goals, and HRV recovery insights.
