StepDebt: a smarter way to stay consistent with walking. Most step trackers punish you for missing a day. StepDebt does the opposite. Instead of breaking streaks, StepDebt introduces a simple idea: step debt and step banking. Miss your daily step goal? Those steps go into debt. Walk more than your goal another day? You pay it back, or even bank steps for later. No guilt. No streak anxiety. Just long-term consistency. How it works - Set a daily step goal - Walk as usual. StepDebt tracks your steps automatically - Miss your goal β steps become debt - Exceed your goal β surplus steps go into your bank - Your balance updates daily, like a fitness balance sheet Youβre no longer judged day by day β youβre rewarded over time.
