Finally an app that intuitively shows steps on your Apple Watch, for Free. Easily set a daily goal, view your step count and see how many steps you have left directly on your watch face, smart stack or in the app. The app runs entirely on your watch. WHEN YOU OPEN IT Front Page: You will see a big ring with step count in the middle and daily goal below it. Under the ring you can see how many steps you have left for the day. Daily Goal: Scroll once from front page to access daily goal. here you can quickly select a preset or click on the big number to dial in your exact step goal. Make sure to click "Set Goal" after selecting your desired amount. Analytics: Easily glance at the analytics of your step history. you can switch between "Day", "Week" and "Month" options. For each, you get the average daily step amount (days you did not wear your watch are left out of your averages, so a weekend off does not drag your numbers down.), and below it you have best day record. Click on the bar chart on any option, and a detailed list view is opened for you to find exact step data. Notifications: Last page, here you can turn on/off Goal Reached and Evening Nudge notifications. ON YOUR WATCH FACE Complications for every accessory slot watchOS offers, so the app should work with the face you already use: - Circular, with your step count inside a progress ring - Rectangular, with your count and how many are left, in two styles: text only, or text with a progress ring - Corner, with your count and remaining curving around the edge, also in two styles - Inline, for faces with a single line of text Every one of them turns green the moment you close your goal.
