TreadTap turns a compatible Bluetooth walking pad into a simple, focused part of your day. WALK IN ONE TAP Start, stop, and change speed without reaching for the physical remote.

One device keeps the treadmill connection while your other screens work as convenient remotes.

With your permission, completed indoor walks, distance, and active energy are also saved to Apple Health. BUILT FOR YOUR DESK A calm interface stays readable in light and dark mode.
