There are no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no ads anywhere. The only things for sale are optional cosmetic skins, a way to support the app if you ever want to, never a requirement. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Steps are counted on your device, using your phone's built-in motion sensor. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking. We never see, sell, or share your data. We couldn't even if we wanted to, because nothing leaves your phone. MAKE IT YOURS Skins re-theme the entire app to match your personality. You can preview any skin for free before deciding to buy it. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Stepping Stone is solely made by me, and I think health should be free and honest. Join the Discord server (in Settings) to shape what comes next, including community-designed skins.
