Creature Hatcher turns the walking you already do into a world of creatures to hatch, name and raise. Every step you take becomes incubation energy. Hit your daily step goal and your egg edges closer to hatching — then the creature inside becomes yours to grow, one walk at a time. WALK TO HATCH Set a daily step goal that suits you. Your steps are read straight from Apple Health, so there is nothing extra to log and nothing to remember. Every step counts towards your egg as you walk, up to your goal for the day — your goal is the daily limit, not a hurdle, so a quiet day still makes progress and a missed day simply pauses it. RAISE THEM OVER MONTHS Eggs hatch after 50,000 incubation steps — around five days at 10,000 a day — and creatures grow through five distinct stages as you keep walking. This is a slow game on purpose — your creatures mark real months of real movement, not an afternoon of tapping. A WORLD OF CREATURES Ember Drakes, Tide Sprites, Stormwings, Crystal Golems, Shadow Foxes, Forest Wisps and more, each fully modelled in 3D and viewable from every angle as they grow. KEEP YOUR STREAK Daily streaks, milestone achievements and bonus events reward showing up consistently. Streak Freezes protect a hard-won run when life gets in the way. WALK TOGETHER Add friends by scanning a QR code and follow each other's creatures and progress. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget keeps your current egg or creature in view, so you always know how close the next hatch is. NO ADS, NO TRACKING There are no advertisements, no analytics SDKs and no third-party trackers. Your step counts grow your creatures; your totals are also visible to friends you add and on the in-app leaderboards. Nothing is sold, and the app never writes anything back into Apple Health. Creature Hatcher requires permission to read step data from Apple Health. Camera access is used solely to scan friend QR codes.
