Most step apps are designed for data enthusiasts. However, Yep is tailored for everyone else. Unlike other apps, Yep doesn’t offer dashboards, charts, streaks, or hourly breakdowns that can cause anxiety or obsession. Its sole purpose is to provide a simple yes or no answer to whether you met your step goal for the day. That’s the entire app’s functionality. If numbers-heavy fitness trackers leave you feeling anxious, obsessed, or ready to quit, Yep is the calm and straightforward alternative you’ve been seeking. How Yep Works - Connect Apple Health: Yep quietly reads your steps in the background without any fuss. - Open the App: You’ll be presented with a single question: “Did you hit your steps today?” and an honest answer. - No Math, No Menus, No Guilt: Yep sets your step goal for you. If you’re unsure about how many steps you should walk, Yep calculates a sensible starting goal based on your activity and gently adjusts it each week. You never have to think about the exact number, although it’s available in Settings if you’re curious. - A Friend, Not an Alarm: Yep sends a single daily check-in notification. - Gentle Nudge: Instead of being a nag, Yep provides a gentle nudge. You can tap Yep or Nope directly from the notification. - Quietly Yours: Yep is designed to be discreet and unobtrusive. Customize Your Experience: Yep Plus offers handpicked color themes, alternate app icons, and a Home Screen widget, so the day’s answer is always within reach. Yep Plus — One Price, Forever: Try Yep Plus for free for 3 days without any commitment or card required. After that, you can keep Yep Plus for a single one-time payment, eliminating the need for subscriptions or monthly fees. Your Data Stays Yours: Yep reads from Apple Health to perform its task and nothing more. Your health data remains secure and stays on your device. Walk a Little, Get Your Answer, Get on with Your Day: Yep provides a simple and straightforward way to track your steps and get your daily answer, allowing you to continue with your day without any unnecessary stress.

APPLE WORKOUTS TRACKS YOUR ACTIVITY. NUDGE KEEPS YOU MOVING. Nudge is the Apple Watch companion that turns your daily step goal into a simple countdown. See exactly how many steps you have left, how long they’ll take, and whether you’re on pace to finish by your chosen time. Keep using Apple Workouts for your walks, runs, and workouts. Nudge adds the planning, motivation, and gentle reminders that help you build the habit of moving every day. Built for iPhone and Apple Watch, Nudge works with Apple Health to turn your daily step count into practical guidance you can use throughout the day. WHY PEOPLE LOVE NUDGE • Count down the exact number of steps you have left today • See how many walking minutes remain to reach your goal • Know whether you’re ahead, behind, or on pace • Set a daily goal and a “Finish By” time that fits your schedule • Review your daily and weekly progress to build lasting habits • Estimate calories burned from your walking activity • Receive optional reminders that help you stay on track • Celebrate when you reach your daily goal DESIGNED FOR APPLE WATCH Nudge was designed around the Apple Watch experience. Instead of opening your watch to rings, percentages, or complicated metrics, you see the one number that matters most: Steps Left Today. Swipe through simple views to check your countdown, review your progress, start a guided walk, or adjust your settings. Whether you have 800 steps or 8,000 remaining, Nudge helps you understand exactly what it will take to finish your day successfully. YOUR DAILY WALKING PLAN Big step goals can feel overwhelming. Nudge breaks them into something manageable. Based on your remaining steps, walking pace, and Finish By time, Nudge estimates how much walking you still need and suggests practical walk sessions to help you stay on track. One glance tells you whether you can finish with a quick walk now or whether it’s time for a catch-up walk before the day gets away from you. CONSISTENCY MATTERS MORE THAN INTENSITY Fitness isn’t about the occasional perfect workout. It’s about building the habit of moving every day. Review your daily and weekly history to see your progress, goal streaks, walking calories, and the days you reached your target. Small wins add up, and Nudge helps you see that progress over time. OPTIONAL REMINDERS Stay on track with helpful reminders throughout the day, including: • Morning briefings • Progress updates • Walk suggestions • Goal celebrations You’re always in control. Adjust reminder frequency, walking pace, Finish By time, and daily goals to match your routine. APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS Keep your progress visible throughout the day. Add Nudge complications to your favorite Apple Watch face and see your remaining steps, progress, or countdown with a quick glance, without opening the app. ONE WALK AT A TIME Whether your goal is 3,000 steps or 10,000, Nudge makes daily movement simple, visible, and achievable. Know exactly what’s left, take the next step, and build a habit that lasts. Nudge uses Apple Health, with your permission, to read step data. Calorie estimates and step recommendations are provided for general wellness purposes only and are not intended as medical advice.
