Hokou is a step counter with a living pet that depends on your daily walks to survive. Walk more, and your creature thrives — it gets happier, gains energy, and evolves into something amazing. Skip a day, and it gets sluggish and sleepy. Your steps are its lifeline. FEATURES: - 8 unique creatures that react to your steps in real time - 5 mood states with animated body morphing, glow effects, and expressions - Evolution system — grow from Seedling to Ancient over 30-day streaks - Walking challenges with timed goals - Distance milestones (walk NYC to Boston!) - 30-day step heatmap and weekly stats - Mood journal to track how you feel - Daily 8 PM reminders tied to your creature's mood - iOS home screen widget showing your creature and step progress - Apple Health integration (read-only, steps and distance) - Dark mode design WHY HOKOU: Studies show walking 7,000+ steps daily reduces mortality risk by 50-70%. But step counters are boring. Hokou makes walking personal — your creature depends on you. PRIVACY: Hokou has no accounts and no servers. Your step data stays on your device and in Apple Health — we never see it, store it, or share it. Delete the app and your data is gone with it. SUBSCRIPTION: Hokou Pro unlocks all creatures, evolution, challenges, stats, and the mood journal. Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly through your Apple ID and auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
