Turn small moments into a movement habit that fits real life. MicroMove helps you move more without asking you to start a traditional workout. Choose quick desk breaks, short walks, stair rounds, after-meal movement and simple at-home tasks. Complete a movement snack, earn NEAT points and watch your daily capsule fill. MOVEMENT SNACKS FOR YOUR DAY Get a fresh daily plan based on your routine and preferred pace. Explore the full Movement Menu, pick a curated snack pack or add a task of your own. STEP-GOAL TASKS Start a step task and let your iPhone count eligible steps through Motion & Fitness. Step access is optional, and you can still complete tasks manually. DAY SAVER Falling behind on a busy afternoon? Day Saver suggests a short recovery plan based on the points left in your goal. YOUR WEEKLY NEAT DNA Discover patterns in when and how you move. Your weekly movement profile can reveal styles such as Morning Starter, Stair Hunter or Mini Tasker, then offer a practical suggestion for the week ahead. MOTIVATION THAT GROWS WITH YOU Build an active-day streak, claim badges, level up and grow your plant as your small wins add up. Weekly summaries make your progress easy to see. FLEXIBLE TRACKING Quickly log everyday movement, create custom tasks and follow estimated active minutes and calories. Choose gentle morning, midday and evening reminders; notification times remain under your control. NO EMAIL OR PASSWORD REQUIRED MicroMove starts with an anonymous account, so you can begin right away. Your progress is saved locally first and backed up to your anonymous account when Firebase is available. You can delete your account and its associated cloud data from Profile. MicroMove is a wellness and habit-building app, not a medical device. NEAT points and calorie values are motivational estimates and are not medical advice. Step tracking requires Motion & Fitness permission and a supported device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
