The Daily Steps – Move More, Stay Consistent! The Daily Steps uses your iPhone's Health data to track your steps throughout the day, and is fully compatible with Apple Watch. Set a personal step goal and stay on track with a built-in streak system. Life happens, so you can choose up to 3 rest days that won't break your streak — giving you flexibility without losing your progress. Ready to push further? Enroll in a challenge and take your step game to the next level. Each challenge has its own rules around rest days and step targets, so make sure to read them before enrolling. And if a challenge doesn't go as planned, don't give up — you can always re-enroll and try again. Your personal step goal and streak are always yours to keep, no matter what happens with a challenge. Throughout the day, The Daily Steps sends gentle, encouraging reminders to keep you motivated toward both your personal goal and any active challenge goal. Your journey, your pace — one step at a time.

A simple, free step counter. No ads, no account, and nothing leaves your phone. Open it and it counts. Today's steps, big and easy to read. WHAT YOU GET • Today's steps, large and clear, in light or dark • Your week at a glance, with a daily average • A goal if you want one: a ring around the number fills as you walk • Calories and distance if you want them: enter your weight, and optionally your height. The calories shown are the extra from your steps only, never an inflated whole-day figure • Your pace while you walk • An option to keep the screen on while you walk WHAT YOU DO NOT GET • No ads. Not now, not later. There is no paid version, because there is nothing to remove • No account, no e-mail, no password • No tracking and no analytics. The app never connects to the internet • No sounds, no confetti, no nagging HOW IT COUNTS Your iPhone counts your steps all day on its own motion chip. Pedometer reads that number and shows it, so it uses no battery beyond the screen and needs nothing running in the background. ONE PERMISSION Motion & Fitness, which lets the app read the iPhone's step count. Nothing else. Your history stays on your phone and follows your phone's own backup. Made by Tentmaker Sweden.
