Cadence vs Steptide

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.

Steptide is a step counter built around one idea: your friends are watching the leaderboard. It reads your steps from Apple Health, drops them into a daily leaderboard, and gets out of the way. No calorie diaries. No sleep graphs. No fourteen different metrics fighting for your attention. Every day is a fresh race. Steps reset at midnight, the board reshuffles, and yesterday's leader has to earn it again. Create a group for your family, your office, or your group chat. Share a 6-character code to invite. Watch the rankings update as everyone moves through their day. Switch between today, this week, this month, and all-time. Earn milestones for streaks, distance covered, and personal bests. Track your progress without the streak guilt that makes you delete the app a month in. Steptide is quiet by design. No spam. No notifications begging you to come back. It opens when you open it. Groups are invite-only. There's no public discovery, no social feed, no friend graph. Only members of your group can see your daily totals.
