StepForest is a step counter that stays out of your way: no account, no location permission, and simple setup. Walk, and a small forest grows along with you. WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT · No account or signup — connect Apple Health or Motion & Fitness to see your steps · No location permission. StepForest does not record your route · Steps come from Apple Health and your iPhone's motion data · StepForest only reads Apple Health. It never writes to it · A daily goal you can change anytime, from a short walk to 10,000 steps STEP COUNTING See today's steps, distance, calories, and goal progress. With your permission, StepForest reads steps recorded by Apple Health. When health data is unavailable, it can use your phone's motion data and tells you the source. YOUR GREEN SPACE Every walk leaves a mark. Reach your daily goal to earn water drops, then water the tree in your Green Space. Keep going and a tree house, birds, a photo frame by the window, and other small things appear — a quiet place that fills up as you move. Day or night, sound on or off, it is yours. TRENDS AND INSIGHTS Start with today's hourly steps, then switch to week, month, or year. See your daily average and how this period compares with the last one. Your first insight report is free once you have enough history, and it stays free to revisit. STREAKS AND BADGES Consecutive goal days build a streak. Check your current and longest streak, look back at any day on the calendar, and collect badges along the way. WEIGHT AND BMI Log your weight and height and follow BMI next to your steps. Units follow your region — pounds and feet by default in the US, with WHO weight categories. STEPFOREST PRO (OPTIONAL) The core app is free. The free version may display a banner ad; Pro removes ads and adds period comparisons, insights, and the cat and fireflies in your Green Space. Choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime when available in your region. Purchases and restores use your Apple ID. PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY · Health: reading steps and walking/running distance needs your permission, and only to show steps and statistics · Motion & Fitness: used when Apple Health data is not available · No location permission is requested · StepForest never writes data to Apple Health · No account required.
