PREMIUM β€” PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Set a monthly distance goal. Log every run in five seconds. Watch the ring fill. MileGoal is a manual running log for runners who just want their monthly kilometres counted β€” no GPS, no pace charts, no training plans. After a run, open the app, tap a distance, done. One orange ring shows how much of this month's goal you have covered, and a per-day number tells you exactly what it takes to stay on pace. WHAT YOU GET β€’ A monthly goal ring that fills as you log β€” 62% done on the 15th means you are ahead, and you know it at a glance β€’ Five-second logging: quick-add buttons for your usual 5 or 10 km, or a slider with half-marathon and marathon presets for race day β€’ "Needed per day" maths done for you β€” 3.2 km a day with 9 days left, recalculated every time you log β€’ A month streak that counts back-to-back months you hit your goal β€” miss a month and the flame resets β€’ Twelve months of bars against your goal line, so in December you can see the year you actually ran β€’ Kilometres or miles with one switch β€” everything you have logged converts instantly, and the distance you actually ran never changes PERFECT FOR β€’ Runners who left GPS apps because they never cared about pace, routes or kudos β€’ Treadmill runners whose tracker logs 0 km for a real 8 km β€’ Anyone chasing a 100 km month, one honest entry at a time β€’ Streak keepers who want a monthly bar to clear, not a daily guilt trip WHY NOT JUST USE A GPS TRACKER? GPS apps make you carry your phone, wait for a signal, and scroll past splits you will never read β€” and they still miss every treadmill run. MileGoal asks one question: how far did you run? Type it, and your month is up to date. Logging takes less time than lacing your shoes. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your runs stay on your iPhone. No account, no login, no server, no analytics β€” the app makes no network requests at all. Delete the app and every trace is gone. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) MileGoal requires a subscription (weekly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Full access unlocks everything: unlimited run logging, the monthly goal ring, needed-per-day pacing, the 12-month history chart, monthly summaries, the goal streak, km/mile switching, a shareable monthly recap and a daily log reminder at the time you choose. Set this month's number and log your first run today. Terms of Use: https://leanstudio.asia/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://leanstudio.asia/privacy-policy Support: support@leanstudio.asia

StepFill

StepFill is the fastest, cleanest way to add the steps you walked β€” but didn't capture β€” to Apple Health. Walked on a treadmill, did cardio at the gym, took the dog out, or left your phone on the desk? Those steps really happened, but they never made it into Health. StepFill puts them back in seconds β€” no digging through Health's slow, one-at-a-time manual entry. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your activity β€” walking or running 2. Set when you did it β€” the start and end time 3. StepFill estimates the steps and saves them to Apple Health The estimate follows a realistic pace that varies minute to minute, so a 30-minute treadmill walk lands in Health as natural, uneven step data. Your steps are saved as regular step data, kept in Health on your device. SEE YOUR PROGRESS β€’ A contribution heatmap shows your activity at a glance, color-coded around a 10,000-step daily goal β€’ Tap any day for an hour-by-hour bar chart and the full list of entries β€’ Edit or delete the entries you added, anytime β€’ Viewing your history is always free PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ Works entirely on your device β€” StepFill makes no network connections at all β€’ No accounts, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads β€’ No analytics and no third-party SDKs β€’ Your step data is read only on your device β€” to show your history and let you edit your own entries β€” and never leaves your device STEPFILL PREMIUM Adding, editing, and deleting steps is part of StepFill Premium. Every new install starts with a 3-day free trial with full access β€” no purchase required. After the trial, unlock unlimited writing with a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Viewing your history stays free, always. Restore previous purchases anytime. GOOD TO KNOW StepFill writes to Apple Health, so it needs a device that supports HealthKit and your permission to add steps. You can review or remove anything StepFill saved at any time in the Health app under Steps. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://yusuke.ca/stepfill/terms Privacy Policy: https://yusuke.ca/stepfill/privacy The honest, effortless way to keep your step history complete.
