Most people count steps. We climb mountains. Don’t Live Flat. Climb Every Day. Life isn’t measured by how many days pass. It’s measured by how high you choose to go. Vysota transforms your daily steps, walking, and stair climbing into real mountain expeditions. Connect Apple Health automatically or log activity manually, then turn every step, every staircase, and every meter into real elevation. Choose a legendary peak, reach Base Camp, unlock new camps, earn achievements, complete summit loops, and build your own Mountain Journal. Every step has a purpose, and every climb tells a story. Every step lifts you higher. Don’t Live Flat. Live Higher. Features • Climb legendary mountains including Everest, K2, Fuji, Kilimanjaro, Mont Blanc, Elbrus, Matterhorn, and Lenin Peak • Automatic Apple Health sync for steps and floors climbed • Manual logging for steps, stairs, floors, elevation, walking, hiking, and daily activity • Choose your climbing style with Casual, Balanced, or Challenge modes • Reach Base Camp, unlock higher camps, and conquer every summit • Create custom camps, milestones, and personal checkpoints • Track daily steps, elevation gained, streaks, achievements, and climbing history • Review every expedition in your personal Mountain Journal • Unlock achievements, complete summit loops, and keep climbing higher • Manage your Foot Balance across multiple mountains • Customize floor height and stair height • Metric and imperial units • English, Russian, and Spanish • Secure account sync across devices Whether you’re walking around the city, climbing office stairs, hiking outdoors, or exploring new places, every step brings you closer to your next summit. Vysota turns everyday movement into meaningful progress instead of another number on a step counter. More than a step tracker, pedometer, walking tracker, stair tracker, activity tracker, or hiking tracker, Vysota transforms your activity into a mountain adventure. Build healthy habits, stay active, and replace ordinary step goals with unforgettable expeditions. Most apps count your steps. Vysota gives them a purpose. Vysota is designed to encourage walking, stair climbing, hiking, and long-term healthy habits through gamification. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, fitness, or health advice.

DigSTEP

Walk. Dig. Reveal. Turn every step you take into a treasure hunt. Your real-world steps power a pickaxe that slowly cracks open a rock — and when you hit your goal, a hidden gem is revealed. The walk you were going to do anyway finally pays off. — HOW IT WORKS — • Walk. Your steps (read securely from Apple Health) chip away at the rock, stage by stage. • Dig. Watch the rock crack across multiple stages as your daily steps add up. • Reveal. Reach your goal and pull out the gem hiding inside. • Collect. Every gem lands in your collection — 10 gems across 4 rarities, from common Rose Quartz and Citrine to legendary Moonstone and Diamond. Can you find them all? • Share. Export your reveal as a video or photo card and show off what you dug up. — WHY YOU'LL KEEP WALKING — • A real reason to hit your step goal every day — your "silly little walk" is now excavation work. • Stock your extra steps and set a new rock whenever you're ready. • Home Screen widget shows your rock, your day count, and your progress at a glance. • Light & dark themes, with optional automatic switching by time of day. — OPTIONAL UPGRADES (IN-APP PURCHASES) — DigStep is free to play. If you want rarer finds, faster: • Silver & Gold Stones — guarantee higher-rarity gems on a dig. • Gold Stones can even turn a word you "bury" into an AI-crafted gem, fossil, or relic. • Silver Plan / Gold Plan — auto-renewable monthly subscriptions for unlimited premium stones (Gold also unlocks the stats dashboard). • Stats Dashboard — a one-time unlock for monthly stats and personal bests. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/privacy — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • Your collection and progress stay on your device. Step data is read from Apple Health and never leaves your phone. • No account. No social feed. Just you, your steps, and what you dig up. Crystal lover, step-counter, or just someone who wants a reason to move — DigStep turns walking into something worth opening. Note: Gem descriptions and "meanings" are for entertainment and inspiration only and are not health, wellness, or financial claims.
