Step tracking that stays out of your way Cadence helps you build a consistent walking habit without the usual noise. No social feed. No gamification. No upsells. Just an honest, clear picture of how you move every day. Weekday and Weekend Goals Most days aren't the same, so your goals shouldn't be either. Set separate targets for weekdays and weekends. Cadence automatically applies the right goal each day, and your history always reflects the target that was active on that specific day. Past records are never rewritten. Changed your mind about a goal? You can apply any update retroactively across your entire history with a single tap. Heatmaps You Can Actually Explore See your walking rhythm hour by hour. Scrub through today's heatmap to pinpoint exactly when you were most active, or zoom out to spot long-term patterns across weeks, months, and years. Beautifully color-coded and easy to understand. No chart reading required. Steps, Distance, Floors, and Calories Every day shows your full activity picture — steps, walking distance, flights climbed, and active calories. See how your week is shaping up with a projected end-of-week step total based on your current daily pace. Apple Watch and Complications A native three-page Apple Watch app gives you today's steps and progress, your full week chart, and goal settings directly on your wrist. Eight thoughtfully designed complications work beautifully on any watch face. Goals sync instantly between iPhone and Watch in both directions. Private by Design No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your health data stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. No analytics. No tracking. Your History, Restored Install Cadence on a new device signed into the same iCloud account and your complete history restores automatically — goals included. No exports or manual backups needed. Core step tracking, the Apple Watch app, and all complications are completely free and will always remain free. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support ongoing development.

SheFast Premium is an auto-renewing paid subscription required for full access to SheFast’s features, including cycle-aware fasting plans, fast tracking and history, reminders, guided course content, and progress insights. Most fasting apps treat every day the same. Your body does not. SheFast is fasting designed around your cycle. It keeps track of your current phase, menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, or luteal, and suggests fasting windows that fit it, so you can stay consistent without fighting your own energy, hunger, or sleep. No pushing through. No starting over every Monday. Just a rhythm that bends when your body needs it to. FASTING THAT FOLLOWS YOUR CYCLE See your phase at a glance and get windows suggested for it. Gentler options when your body asks for ease, more room to stretch when your energy is up. A TIMER THAT KEEPS IT SIMPLE Start, adjust, or end a fast in seconds. Clear progress, calm design, no clutter. REST DAYS THAT PROTECT YOUR MOMENTUM Life happens. Period days happen. Plan rest days ahead and keep your streak intact, because taking care of yourself should never feel like falling behind. A GUIDED DAILY JOURNEY A short, friendly course that builds day by day. Learn how fasting and your cycle interact, at a pace that starts where you are. YOUR HISTORY, BEAUTIFULLY KEPT A calendar of every fast, rest day, and phase, so you can look back and watch your rhythm take shape. SMALL WINS, COUNTED Streaks and achievements that reward consistency, not perfection. WATER AND PROTEIN, ONE TAP AWAY Quick adds for water and protein, plus manual entries when you want more control. Weight tracking is there if you choose it, never in your face. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU Gentle notifications for fast starts, fast ends, and hydration. You choose what you hear and when. PRIVATE AND SIMPLE Sign in with Apple or email. Your data syncs to your account and stays yours. MEMBERSHIP SheFast is a subscription with weekly, monthly, and yearly plans. Prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. A NOTE FROM US SheFast is made by a small independent team. We built the app we wished existed: warm, unhurried, and shaped around real bodies and real weeks. A GENTLE NOTE ON HEALTH SheFast is for general wellness and is not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition, and everyone's body is different. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, have a history of disordered eating, or have any health condition, please talk with your doctor before fasting. Your body already has a rhythm. SheFast helps you work with it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
