Read full description

Your steps and activity, like a terminal log. Stepmit isn't your typical fitness app. It's an activity log with a developer's sensibility — for people who want to keep their daily activity in the style of a contribution graph and a terminal. Everything on screen is a custom terminal UI drawn with a monospace font and ASCII blocks. ■ Activity is automatic, records are a 'commit' Steps, distance, calories, and floors appear automatically from Apple Health. Attaching a type and a one-line note to a day is what Stepmit calls a 'commit'. Committed days stack up as a log you can revisit anytime or share as a card. ■ Step contribution graph See a month of step activity as a block heatmap. Watch it fill in and read your whole month at a glance. ■ Records, made richer · diff — when you commit, see the change versus the same time yesterday, in green/red. · Monthly release — a card that sums up the month's activity, like a 'git tag'. · On this day — meet your records from 1 year, 6 months, and 1 month ago today. · Images as block art — attach a photo to a record and, instead of the original, it's converted into 8-level block art in your current theme colors. (The original photo is never stored or transmitted.) ■ Color themes Several terminal color themes. Switch a theme and the graph, mascot, and block art recolor together. ■ Share cards Render a record as a terminal-style card to share or save as an image. Choose to include the hourly graph or block art, plus the diff. ■ Light, and private · Apple Health is read-only · no server · no tracking, ads, or account · Records sync only to your private iCloud (CloudKit) · No background location tracking. — For developers, for tech folks, and for anyone who responds to a contribution graph and a monospace font.
