Plant Step vs Underfoot

Turn every step into something that grows. Plant Step is the pedometer that turns your daily walk into a living garden. It reads your Apple Health step count and grows a beautiful digital plant with every step you take — to the bus stop, around the block, or laps around the kitchen. Five growth stages, one gorgeous bloom, and one new plant in your garden that remembers every walk you've ever taken. Finally, a step counter that actually feels good to open. WHY PLANT STEP • A pedometer with a purpose — your steps grow something you get to keep • Automatic Apple Health sync — no manual logging, ever • Calm by design — no streaks to lose, no guilt, no nagging • A garden that quietly remembers every walk you finish WHAT YOU GET • 11 plants across three rarity tiers: Common, Rare, and Legendary • 6 collectible pots — Classic Cream, Gothic Castle, Mushroom, Shark, Brick Cottage, and Volcano • A 5-stage growth model: soil → sprout → leaves → bud → bloom • Live Home Screen widgets (Small and Large) with real-time step progress • Weekly step history with swipe-back navigation across past weeks • Quiet, photo-rich notifications when a plant levels up or finally blooms • Share any bloom as a 1080×1080 card to Instagram, Messages, or anywhere HOW IT WORKS 1. Grant Apple Health access — your step data stays on your device 2. Your first plant starts growing automatically 3. Walk — each segment of the progress bar is one growth stage 4. When the plant blooms, it joins your garden forever MORE THAN A STEP TRACKER Plant Step counts your steps, tracks your walking, and turns your daily activity into visible progress you can actually feel. Watch your weekly trends climb, reach your step goals, and see your movement add up over time — no spreadsheets, no charts you'll never open, and no pressure. EVERY STEP COUNTS — EVERYWHERE Because Plant Step syncs with Apple Health, every step you already take is counted automatically. Your morning commute, a coffee run, a treadmill session, a weekend hike, pacing during a phone call — it all flows in and feeds your plant. There's no separate tracker to start, nothing to remember, and nothing to switch on. You just live your day, and your garden grows. BUILT FOR THE WALK THAT MEANS SOMETHING Most step trackers shout at you. Plant Step doesn't. There are no streaks to break and no badges to chase — just a quiet, beautiful reason to step outside today, and a garden that keeps every walk you've ever taken. A GARDEN THAT'S TRULY YOURS Every plant you bloom is saved to your personal garden, complete with the pot you chose and the day it finished. Scroll back through past blooms, revisit the walks behind them, and watch your collection grow from a single cactus into a whole shelf of flowers — each one earned, one step at a time. PERFECT FOR • Daily walkers who want a reason to move • Anyone tracking steps, distance, and activity through Apple Health • People tired of aggressive fitness apps and streak pressure • Plant lovers, collectors, and fans of gentle gamification • Building a simple, lasting walking habit — one step at a time PLANT TIERS • Common (50,000 steps): Cactus, Daisy, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip • Rare (100,000 steps): Bird of Paradise, Orchid, Peony • Legendary (150,000 steps): Black Rose, Moonflower, Phoenix Flower PRIVACY FIRST Your Apple Health steps are read on-device.

Your steps already add up to something. This app decides what. Underfoot turns the steps your phone already counts into distance along a real long-distance route: the actual surveyed line, with its actual length, its actual climbs and its actual places. Walk your usual day, and you move a little further down the trail. FOUR ROUTES, ALL ON YOUR PHONE • Appalachian Trail - 3,478 km, Georgia to Maine, 18 sections. Free, all of it. • Pacific Crest Trail - 4,269 km, desert to the North Cascades, 20 sections. • Route 66 - 3,643 km, Chicago to the Pacific, 20 sections. • Camino de Santiago - 762 km across northern Spain, 7 sections. Nothing is downloaded later. Every route is in the app from the first launch, and it all works in airplane mode. PAINTED, NOT PHOTOGRAPHED 128 original paintings, one for every stretch of country you walk through, in daylight and at night. The season is baked into each one, so a year passes while you walk: early spring in Georgia, high summer in Virginia, late autumn at the end. A JOURNAL THAT BECOMES A BOOK One line a day, in your words. Along the way you pass named places: shelters with the year they were built, passes, towns, roadside stops, and find what somebody walking before you wrote there. After a year you have something you won't want to lose. SECTIONS, NOT ONE ENDLESS LINE A long trail takes years at an honest pace, so the unit that matters is the section: a month or two, ending in something. Eighteen of them on the Appalachian Trail alone. NO STREAKS, NO GUILT A day without walking is called a zero day, and on a real trail it is completely normal. Nothing here burns down, nothing scolds you, nothing asks you to come back tomorrow or lose what you built. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No account, no server, no analytics, no third-party code of any kind. Your steps are read from Health on your phone and stay there. Progress syncs between your own devices through your private iCloud, and nowhere else. WIDGETS One for each trail you're walking, in four sizes, including the Lock Screen. FREE AND PRO The Appalachian Trail is free in full: every section, every painting, the journal, the widget. Pro opens the rest of the catalogue, lets you walk several routes at once, writes fresh journal entries on your device, and exports your journal as a book. For motivation, not for navigation. This is not a hiking navigation app and carries no GPS guidance of any kind. Route data comes from public surveys and is credited in the app. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the Pacific Crest Trail Association, or the National Park Service.
