Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Steps brings tasks, repeatable events, personal feedback, and rewards into one focused system. Plan what you want to do, then record what actually happened. In Steps, an Event is a personal behavior you can check in to repeatedly—it is not a calendar appointment. Each check-in can contribute Effort Points and update an Account, giving you a clear view of the progress behind your actions. Use Steps to: - Plan one-time and recurring tasks. - Create Events for behaviors you want to record over time. - Check in with values, notes, and personal context. - Review Event Logs and Effort Point trends. - Organize feedback with Accounts. - Set Rewards and track the requirements you define. - See key information from Home Screen widgets. - Keep data on your device and optionally sync through iCloud. Steps is not a step counter and does not read Health data. Accounts, Effort Points, and Rewards are personal planning concepts inside the app. They are not bank accounts, cash, or real-world financial assets.
