Step City vs Shadowstep

Step City is a walking tracker and pedometer that turns daily steps into a city you can explore. Set goals, build streaks, and follow your progress with clear activity insights, weekly trends, pace views, and milestone tracking. World lets you browse your step history visually, Goal keeps your targets in focus, and Pulse reveals patterns in consistency and rhythm over time. Connect Apple Health to use your real step count, or start with sample data and explore every screen right away. Step City reads step count only.

Every day, Shadowstep matches you against one hidden rival — and you have until 8 PM to out-walk them. You won't know who they are. Their name is redacted, their city is a guess, their step count climbs in real time beside yours. All you know is the number you have to beat. Then at 8 PM the mask comes off: the identity is revealed, the verdict lands, and you find out whether the stranger you've been racing all day was a friend, a neighbor, or someone you'll never meet. One duel. One day. No grinding, no endless leaderboards, no streak guilt. Just the quiet pressure of someone out there walking — and the question of whether you moved more than they did. HOW IT WORKS • Each morning you're paired with an anonymous rival. • Shadowstep reads your daily step total from Apple Health to keep score. • Watch the gap in real time — your steps against theirs, lane by lane. • At 8 PM, the rival is unmasked and the duel is settled. • Win or lose, you get a share card built to send. WALK YOUR FRIENDS Challenge people you actually know. Find which of your contacts already play (we only ever check secure one-way hashes — your address book never leaves your phone in readable form) and call them out for a head-to-head where you both know exactly who you're racing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Sign in with your phone number — no email, no password. • Shadowstep only READS your step count. It never writes to Apple Health and reads nothing else. • No ad tracking. No data sold. No advertising profiles. Out-walk a stranger before the day ends. Find out who they were. Then do it again tomorrow.
