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 isnβt about pushing limits. Itβs about consistency, awareness, and moving a little every day.
Just Steps

Your iPhone already counts every step you take. Just Steps shows that number the way it deserves to be shown: big, honest, and with nothing else in the way. THE DAY IS A TRAIL Steps you have taken draw the path. Steps ahead stay dots. A flag marks your goal, and a small walker shows exactly where you are between them. When you pass the flag, the trail is yours; tap any of the last seven days to walk back through it. THE HONEST NUMBER Pair an Apple Watch but only wear it for workouts, and Apple's Fitness app follows the Watch, showing you almost nothing. Just Steps reads the same de-duplicated total as the Health app, so the count is right whether your steps come from your iPhone, your Watch, or both. MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - One screen: today, your goal, your week - A daily goal you set once and change in two taps - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Designed dark, end to end NOTHING ELSE No account. No cloud. No ads. No subscription. No streak guilt. Your steps stay in Apple Health, where they already live. Just Steps simply shows them properly. Requires access to Apple Health step data.
