About

Stride

Read full description

Stride is a simple and thoughtful step tracker designed to help you stay aware of your daily movement. There are no charts to decode, no achievements to chase, and no pressure to do more than feels right. Just a clear view of your steps today, your daily goal, and how your activity changes over time. Stride connects with Apple Health to show your step data while respecting your privacy. Your data stays on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything in the app is designed with intention: calm layouts, clear spacing, and a focus on what truly matters. Stride isn’t about pushing limits. It’s about consistency, awareness, and moving a little every day.

About

Imshi.

Features
Read full description

Imshi means walk in Arabic. Most step trackers ask you to compete with yesterday's version of yourself. Imshi asks you to walk because someone you know is walking. That's the whole idea. Add a few friends. Their step counts appear on your home screen. Yours appear on theirs. When a friend crosses 10,000 before you, you'll know. When you overtake them, they'll know. It’s simple, on purpose. Imshi reads steps from Apple Health. It does not track your location. It does not show sponsored content. It does not gamify your sleep. Made in Saudi Arabia.
