Snailed is a daily pedometer game where a fictional snail starts 500 steps behind you and never stops walking. Every step you take is the only thing keeping it from catching up. It moves slowly during the day, even slower at night, and occasionally finds a shortcut, a hitchhike, or someone's espresso. You'll get notifications when it picks up speed and notifications when it's about to catch you. The story of who this snail is — and why it's coming — unfolds across twenty chapters as you survive. Snailed reads your step count from Apple Health (on-device, never uploaded). It doesn't track location, doesn't show ads, and doesn't sell your data. Notifications, the home-screen widget, brag-photo stickers, and the lore are all optional. A long, slow, deadpan game. Keep walking.

Verdict
