StepsLink

Read full description

A step counter that makes you want to walk. StepsLink counts your steps with Apple Health and turns your goal into a line to cross every day. YOUR DAILY LINE • Your goal becomes a line. You watch it get closer, then you cross it. • Your streak of good days, your calendar, your best day. • A 4-week program to build up gently, based on your real steps. • 15 badges to unlock. YOUR STATS • Steps, distance, calories, active minutes and floors. • Day hour by hour, week, month, year: trends, best day, typical day. TO KEEP GOING FOR THE LONG RUN • Join a group with a 6-character code, or create your own: up to 25 people, a leaderboard for today and for the week, your group's total up top. • A chat with replies, mentions and reactions. When someone crosses their line, the whole group sees it. • The world leaderboard: take on walkers around the world, by week or by month. The top 100 and your place. Optional: you only appear if you turn it on. YOUR HEALTH, IN ONE PLACE • Heart: resting and walking heart rate, VO₂ max and variability (depending on what your watch measures). • Sleep: duration, consistency, and sleep stages with an Apple Watch. • Weight: chart, goal, BMI. • Water: log a glass in one tap, saved to Apple Health. WITHOUT OPENING THE APP • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your steps, your streak, your group, your water. • Add a glass of water right from the widget. • Reminders you set yourself, quiet hours, and a recap every Sunday. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No ads, no data selling. StepsLink reads your data from Apple Health and only writes your weight, your height and the water you log. Your group sees your steps for the day; the world leaderboard is off by default. You can hide or report anyone in two taps. In English or French, in dark or light. For iPhone. SUBSCRIPTION StepsLink Premium, monthly or yearly, unlocks the whole app. New subscribers may be offered a free trial: its length is shown before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
