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 You’re no longer judged day by day β€” you’re rewarded over time.
