Most step apps are designed for data enthusiasts. However, Yep is tailored for everyone else. Unlike other apps, Yep doesn’t offer dashboards, charts, streaks, or hourly breakdowns that can cause anxiety or obsession. Its sole purpose is to provide a simple yes or no answer to whether you met your step goal for the day. That’s the entire app’s functionality. If numbers-heavy fitness trackers leave you feeling anxious, obsessed, or ready to quit, Yep is the calm and straightforward alternative you’ve been seeking. How Yep Works - Connect Apple Health: Yep quietly reads your steps in the background without any fuss. - Open the App: You’ll be presented with a single question: “Did you hit your steps today?” and an honest answer. - No Math, No Menus, No Guilt: Yep sets your step goal for you. If you’re unsure about how many steps you should walk, Yep calculates a sensible starting goal based on your activity and gently adjusts it each week. You never have to think about the exact number, although it’s available in Settings if you’re curious. - A Friend, Not an Alarm: Yep sends a single daily check-in notification. - Gentle Nudge: Instead of being a nag, Yep provides a gentle nudge. You can tap Yep or Nope directly from the notification. - Quietly Yours: Yep is designed to be discreet and unobtrusive. Customize Your Experience: Yep Plus offers handpicked color themes, alternate app icons, and a Home Screen widget, so the day’s answer is always within reach. Yep Plus — One Price, Forever: Try Yep Plus for free for 3 days without any commitment or card required. After that, you can keep Yep Plus for a single one-time payment, eliminating the need for subscriptions or monthly fees. Your Data Stays Yours: Yep reads from Apple Health to perform its task and nothing more. Your health data remains secure and stays on your device. Walk a Little, Get Your Answer, Get on with Your Day: Yep provides a simple and straightforward way to track your steps and get your daily answer, allowing you to continue with your day without any unnecessary stress.
