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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unki at none against Footscroll's 1. Unki also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
