Every step becomes a journey. Your daily walking distance carries you around Tokyo's Yamanote Loop, one stop at a time, and every flight of stairs adds up to a real landmark. A calm, beautifully simple pedometer and step counter. ā–  What Pacely Step does - Steps, distance, calories and stairs — tracked automatically Reads your iPhone's Motion & Fitness data to log daily steps, walking distance, pace, and floors climbed. - Journey: walk your way along real routes Your walking distance moves you around the Yamanote Loop (about 34.5 km). "1.3 km to the next stop" and "4 stops reached today" give every walk somewhere to go. - Climb to world landmarks Your height climbed is measured in Eiffel Towers, Mt. Fuji, the Empire State Building and more. "1.5Ɨ Eiffel Tower this month" turns the stairs into a small adventure. - Calorie estimates that reflect how you walk Estimates use your walking speed and stair activity with MET-based calculations. - A calendar that keeps your progress Goal days are marked in vermillion. See your streak, best steps day, best height day and monthly progress at a glance. ā–  Who it's for - Anyone who found step counts alone weren't enough to keep walking - Daily walkers and commuters who want a reason to go one stop further - People who prefer a quiet, minimal design over busy fitness apps - Anyone tired of subscriptions and looking for a one-time purchase - Anyone who wants a reason to take the stairs ā–  Privacy - No account required - Your step records stay on your iPhone and are never sent anywhere - No access to HealthKit or your location - No advertising identifier (IDFA), no third-party ads or tracking - To show our other apps, the app may fetch public App Store information (app names and icons) Distances, calories and heights are estimates based on your iPhone's measurements.

About

Moss

Read full description

Moss is a silent meditation timer with a gentle sense of rhythm. Choose how long to sit, begin, and be left alone. When time is up, a soft sound brings you back — never an alarm. Moss isn't guided meditations or a content library. It's the calm structure around your own practice. MEDITATE, UNDISTURBED • Choose a duration and begin in seconds. • Sessions stay completely silent — no music, no voice, no interruptions. • A soft, brief completion sound ends the session gently. FIND YOUR RHYTHM • Set a practice cadence that fits your life. • Gentle reminders invite you to sit — they never nag. • Begin a session straight from a reminder. SEE YOUR PRACTICE TAKE SHAPE • Follow your sessions and consistency over time. • Progress that encourages rather than pressures — a missed day is just a day. Quiet by default. Nothing to browse, nothing to manage. Open Moss, sit, and return gently.
