StepNova vs Emberling

StepNova is a step counter and pedometer for everyday movement. Whether you're walking, running, cycling, or hiking — StepNova counts every step, maps your route, coaches you through intervals, and celebrates every personal record along the way. SMART ACTIVITY TRACKING Automatic step, distance, calorie, and pace tracking using your iPhone's built-in sensors. Supports walking, running, cycling, hiking, and elliptical — indoors or out. APPLE WATCH APP Start, pause, and finish a walk from your wrist. Live steps, pace, distance, and elapsed time on the watch, a seven-day chart, and a watch face complication for today's progress. Start on the wrist and your iPhone picks the walk up while it is still running. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Your walk stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — live timer and stats, with pause and resume, without ever opening the app. SIRI & CONTROL CENTER "Start my StepNova activity." "How many steps today?" Ask Siri hands-free, or start an activity from Control Center with one tap. Saved routes appear in iOS search. PERSONAL RECORDS & ROUTE BESTS StepNova tracks your all-time bests for steps, distance, calories, and pace. Save your favorite routes and StepNova will tell you every time you beat your personal record on them — with a full-screen celebration to mark the moment. INTERVAL TRAINING Choose from 5 guided interval programs — Walk-to-Run, C25K Week 1, HIIT 40/20, Tabata, and Active Recovery — or build your own with StepNova Pro. Voice prompts guide you through every work and rest phase automatically. WALK WINDOWS See the best upcoming hours to head outside based on real-time weather — AQI, temperature, UV index, wind, and rain chance, all ranked so the ideal window is always visible on your dashboard. LIVE MAPS & PERFORMANCE GRAPHS GPS route tracing with pace, elevation, and speed graphs. Review your splits, see your elevation profile, replay your exact path, and share your route after every activity. STREAKS & ACHIEVEMENTS Build daily streaks, unlock 50 achievement badges across Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, and compete with friends on a weekly step leaderboard. TRAINING PLANS Follow structured multi-week training plans — beginner, endurance, or race-ready — with daily targets and CloudKit sync across all your devices. SAFE WALK Share your live location with a trusted contact while you walk solo. They see your real-time position and path for peace of mind — yours and theirs. HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Glanceable step count, daily goal progress, and streaks — right on your home screen or lock screen without opening the app. VOICE COACHING Milestone announcements and interval cues spoken in your device's language. StepNova keeps you informed without you ever having to look at your phone. Your health, location, and activity data stays on your device and in your private iCloud account. It is never sold. StepNova uses anonymous usage statistics to improve the app; see the privacy policy for details. ——— STEPNOVA PRO Unlock the full StepNova experience: • Custom interval program creation • Unlimited saved routes • Unlimited friends on leaderboard • 25 more achievements to unlock • All training plans & structured challenges • Safe Walk live location sharing • Custom app themes Try StepNova Pro free for 30 days (available for eligible new subscribers).

A habit tracker that bends when your life does. Emberling gives you a small companion who hatches from an egg and grows as you show up. On a hard week it doesn't break your streak and lecture you — it offers you a smaller version of the plan, and only changes something if you say yes. YOUR DAY, SHAPED IN 2 MINUTES Answer a few warm questions and Emberling builds your plan from your own words — small habits placed in your real rhythm. Night owls welcome. YOUR MORNING, ALREADY READ Connect Gmail and Google Calendar and wake up to the Morning Post: the few things from your inbox that actually needed you, sitting beside today's meetings. Tap a headline to turn it into a to-do for the day. Everything else stays unread, on purpose. A PLAN THAT RESIZES ITSELF Emberling watches how the week is really going. After a run of hard days it offers the five-minute version of a habit instead of the twenty. After a strong stretch it offers to grow one. It always asks first — nothing is ever resized behind your back, and finishing everything on a rough day never costs you a thing. SOMEONE TO TALK TO Chat with your companion about your day. It remembers what you told it, asks how things went, and can reschedule, resize, or pause a habit right there in the conversation. MOVEMENT THAT COUNTS ITSELF Connect Apple Health and your morning walk stops needing a second tick. When Health records a walk or a workout, your Emberling notices and offers to complete the habit it matches — you just confirm. Read-only, never shared. LETTERS AND NOTES A sealed letter every morning, and affirmations written for the day you're actually having. Every one is kept, so you can go back whenever you need it. SUNDAYS AND MONTH ENDS A quiet page that shows what actually changed — three real numbers. No dashboards, no red. YOUR YEAR IN PIXELS A soft grid of every day you showed up. Misses are never red — just quiet squares waiting for tomorrow. PLANNED AROUND YOUR REAL DAY Connect Google Calendar or Todoist and your Emberling plans habits around the day you actually have. MAKE IT YOURS Change the scenery behind your companion — beach at dawn, mountain campfire, starlit library, the aurora — and dress them from the Ember Store with what you've earned. FREE FOREVER 5 daily habits, daily chats with your companion, and your full year-in-pixels grid — free. EMBERLING PRO Unlimited habits, unlimited chat, every scene. 7 days free on either plan, then $9.99/month or $49.99/year. Cancel anytime. Regional pricing available. Emberling is a wellbeing tool, not a medical service. Privacy: https://emberling.app/privacy Terms: https://emberling.app/terms
