StepForest vs Walkful

StepForest is a step counter that stays out of your way: no account, no location tracking, and nothing to set up. Walk, and a small forest grows along with you. WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT · No account, no signup — open the app and walk · No location permission. StepForest never tracks where you go · Steps come from Apple Health and your iPhone's motion data · StepForest only reads Apple Health. It never writes to it · A daily goal you can change anytime, from a short walk to 10,000 steps STEP COUNTING See today's steps, distance, calories, and goal progress the moment you open the app. StepForest reads the steps Apple Health already recorded, so your numbers match what your iPhone counted. When health data is unavailable, it falls back to your phone's own motion data and tells you so — never a silent guess. YOUR GREEN SPACE Every walk leaves a mark. Reach your daily goal to earn water drops, then water the tree in your Green Space. Keep going and a tree house, birds, a photo frame by the window, and other small things appear — a quiet place that fills up as you move. Day or night, sound on or off, it is yours. TRENDS AND INSIGHTS Start with today's hourly steps, then switch to week, month, or year. See your daily average and how this period compares with the last one. Your first insight report is free once you have enough history, and it stays free to revisit. STREAKS AND BADGES Consecutive goal days build a streak. Check your current and longest streak, look back at any day on the calendar, and collect badges along the way. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add a small widget for today's steps and the last update time, or a medium one for today's progress and the last 7 days. No need to open the app to see how today is going. WEIGHT AND BMI Log your weight and height and follow BMI next to your steps. Units follow your region — pounds and feet by default in the US, with WHO weight categories. STEPFOREST PRO (OPTIONAL) The core app is free and stays free. Pro adds what only shows up over time: comparison with the previous period, what is behind a change, monthly and yearly analysis, and the cat and fireflies in your Green Space. Choose monthly or yearly. Purchases and restores use your Apple ID. PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY · Health: reading steps and walking/running distance needs your permission, and only to show steps and statistics · Motion & Fitness: used when Apple Health data is not available, so your steps still count · No location permission is ever requested · StepForest never writes data to Apple Health · No account required. Step cache, streaks, badges, and Green Space progress stay on your device Questions, refunds, or feedback: tianxin3344@icloud.com Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://stepforest.com/privacy_en Support: https://stepforest.com/

Walkful turns your daily walks into something meaningful — calmly, and entirely on your phone. Apple Health gives you the numbers. Walkful gives them meaning: progress paired with what it actually does for your health, built on the science of walking rather than the 10,000-steps myth. WHY WALKFUL • Meaning over numbers — see what your activity means, not just a count. • Private by design — everything stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no data collection. • Calm, never pushy — no pace-shaming, no leaderboards, no dark patterns. You compete only against your own records. • Evidence-based — a suggested ~7,000-step goal, grounded in recent research. FREE • Today dashboard: progress ring, distance, active minutes, floors, this-week trend and your streak. • Works with iPhone and Apple Watch via Apple Health. • Gentle, optional reminders to break up long sitting. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. WALKFUL PRO (one-time purchase — no subscription) • Insights: week / month / year trends and a full-year consistency heatmap. • Mobility & fitness: walking speed, steadiness, cardio fitness (VO₂max) and resting heart rate. • Records: best day, week and month, longest streak, most floors. • A calm monthly recap. • The interval-walking coach — guided easy/brisk sessions to boost your fitness. Walkful collects nothing. Your health data is read from Apple Health, used only on your device, and never shared or sold. Made by IAMJARL.
