Every step you take writes a new page in a 200-year-old story. Footscroll turns your daily walk into the legendary journey of Ino Tadataka β€” the Edo-period cartographer who spent 17 years walking Japan's entire coastline to create the nation's first accurate map. β–  Ino Tadataka's Dream Your steps fuel a tiny surveyor's progress along Japan's 40,000 km coastline. Watch him walk across Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu, and beyond β€” all rendered on aged washi paper with sumi ink, just like the original Ino maps. The further you walk in real life, the more of Japan unfolds before you. β–  Charts That Tell a Story Track your steps across four time scales β€” day, week, month, and year. A prediction bar shows whether you're on pace to hit today's goal. A heatmap calendar paints your active days in shades of green. β–  Gold Leaf Celebration Hit your daily goal and gold leaf drifts across the screen β€” a quiet, beautiful moment of celebration. Your consecutive streak is tracked too, keeping you motivated day after day. β–  Washi, Sumi, Indigo This isn't just another step counter. Footscroll is crafted with the aesthetics of traditional Japanese art: washi paper textures, sumi ink coastlines, indigo ocean gradients, and old province names written in classical vertical script. Every screen feels like holding a piece of Edo-era cartography. β–  Your Data Stays Yours Steps are read from Apple Health. Everything is stored on your device. Nothing leaves your phone. Ever.
