One number. One quiet ritual. Daystride is a small, quiet space for the one number that matters: today. Pedometer apps tend to grow into workouts, routes, training plans, badges, and weekly subscription stacks. Daystride does the opposite. One number. One chart. One feeling when the bar warms. THE WHOLE APP, ONE SCREEN Open Daystride and you see today's steps, a warm ring filling toward your goal, and a 7-day strip beneath. That's it. The bar warms when you cross. HISTORY WITHOUT HOMEWORK Week, month, year — three views, three taps. Past goals stick: change today's goal and yesterday stays evaluated against yesterday's. Future days render as ghost stubs and quietly wait their turn. THREE ACCENTS, ONE YOU'LL KEEP Pick once. Glow (warm coral into gold), Meadow (forest into citrus), or Sky (royal blue into seafoam). Ring, bars, particles — even your home-screen icon — retint instantly. WIDGETS FOR EVERY SURFACE Five iOS widgets: Home Small (ring + count), Home Medium (ring + 7-day mini histogram), and three Lock Screen sizes (Circular, Rectangular, Inline). They retint with your accent. PRIVACY BY ABSENCE • Reads steps from Apple Health. Never writes back. • No account. No login. No email collection. • No analytics.

Daystride has no backend, so there is nothing to leak, subpoena, or sell. TEN LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Reads from Apple Health. Made quietly in Luxembourg by TK Media.

A simple, free step counter. No ads, no account, and nothing leaves your phone. Open it and it counts. Today's steps, big and easy to read. WHAT YOU GET • Today's steps, large and clear, in light or dark • Your week at a glance, with a daily average • A goal if you want one: a ring around the number fills as you walk • Calories and distance if you want them: enter your weight, and optionally your height. The calories shown are the extra from your steps only, never an inflated whole-day figure • Your pace while you walk • An option to keep the screen on while you walk WHAT YOU DO NOT GET • No ads. Not now, not later. There is no paid version, because there is nothing to remove • No account, no e-mail, no password • No tracking and no analytics. The app never connects to the internet • No sounds, no confetti, no nagging HOW IT COUNTS Your iPhone counts your steps all day on its own motion chip. Pedometer reads that number and shows it, so it uses no battery beyond the screen and needs nothing running in the background. ONE PERMISSION Motion & Fitness, which lets the app read the iPhone's step count. Nothing else. Your history stays on your phone and follows your phone's own backup. Made by Tentmaker Sweden.
