Cadence vs Daystride.

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.

One number. One quiet ritual. Daystride is a small, quiet space for the one number that matters: today. Pedometer apps tend to grow into workouts, routes, training plans, badges, and weekly subscription stacks. Daystride does the opposite. One number. One chart. One feeling when the bar warms. THE WHOLE APP, ONE SCREEN Open Daystride and you see today's steps, a warm ring filling toward your goal, and a 7-day strip beneath. That's it. The bar warms when you cross. HISTORY WITHOUT HOMEWORK Week, month, year — three views, three taps. Past goals stick: change today's goal and yesterday stays evaluated against yesterday's. Future days render as ghost stubs and quietly wait their turn. THREE ACCENTS, ONE YOU'LL KEEP Pick once. Glow (warm coral into gold), Meadow (forest into citrus), or Sky (royal blue into seafoam). Ring, bars, particles — even your home-screen icon — retint instantly. WIDGETS FOR EVERY SURFACE Five iOS widgets: Home Small (ring + count), Home Medium (ring + 7-day mini histogram), and three Lock Screen sizes (Circular, Rectangular, Inline). They retint with your accent. PRIVACY BY ABSENCE • Reads steps from Apple Health. Never writes back. • No account. No login. No email collection. • No analytics.
