Pedometer turns your iPhone into a precise step tracker — no subscription, no ads, no clutter. TRACK EVERY STEP Counts steps in real time using your iPhone's built-in motion sensor. Works whether the app is open or closed — your steps keep counting in the background. BUILD A STREAK Hit your daily goal and watch your streak grow. Miss a day? A grace day keeps your streak alive — but use it wisely. Streaks reset when you stop moving; they stay when you keep going. KNOW YOUR PROGRESS A clean ring shows exactly where you stand today. See calories burned, active minutes, and distance walked — calculated from your height and weight for accurate results. HISTORY AT A GLANCE 7-day and 30-day bar charts show your step history. Tap any bar to see that day in detail. Weekly summary cards recap your best week, average pace, and goals met. SMART INSIGHTS The app notices when you're ahead of yesterday, on track for your goal, or close to a milestone. Get a gentle push at 7 PM if you haven't hit 60% of your goal yet. WIDGET SUPPORT Add the step counter widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. See your progress without opening the app. IPAD READY Full iPad layout with a sidebar for quick navigation. Works beautifully on any iPad. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Pedometer is free and stays free. The goal is to help you build a walking habit — not to sell you one. PRIVACY FIRST Your step data stays on your device. No account required. No data sent to external servers.
