Meet Wander, a little raccoon who travels the world one real step at a time. He only moves when you do. Wandercoon is a cozy walking companion, not a fitness tracker. Open the app, bring Wander your steps, and watch the journey unfold at your own pace. No pressure, no shame, no streaks. A WALK THAT FEELS LIKE A STORY Your steps become distance on a long, quiet journey. Set off in the Awakening Meadow, then wander on through the Great Forest, the Shores and the Haunted Woods. Along the way, meet little creatures for your Album, find small surprises in your backpack and pick up gentle quests. Whether you walked 4,000 steps or 12,000, Wander greets you the same. The journey matters, never the number. NEW: THE HAUNTED WOODS An autumn forest by day that turns to Halloween at nightfall, with drifting mist and its own soundtrack. Twelve creatures live there, some only between dusk and early morning, plus a themed outfit set and two card borders. Featured this autumn, the Haunted Woods stay in the game afterwards, Halloween included. No rush. KINDNESS BY DESIGN One rule: nothing here should ever make you feel bad. • No streaks, nothing to lose for taking a day off. • No guilt, no "you didn't walk today", no leaderboards. • Come back after a day or a month: Wander is right where you left him. • If you like, a little postcard from Wander each evening. Never a number, never a reproach. MAKE WANDER YOURS Earn Apples by walking and spend them in a cosmetic-only shop: fur colors, hats, sweaters, glasses and little accessories. Level up, pick a title, collect badges and decorate your traveler card. It's all for the joy of it. A free, optional account backs up your journey. With it, you can choose a traveler name and, only if you turn it on, appear in the Travelers feed. WANDERCOON+, OPTIONAL Wandercoon is free to download and play, and the Awakening Meadow is open to everyone. Wandercoon+ is optional. It opens every premium World (the Great Forest, the Shores, the Haunted Woods and those to come), unlocks exclusive outfit sets to buy with your Apples, and lets your steps from past days count too (at least the last 7 days, up to 30 depending on your step source). Choose a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, a yearly subscription, or lifetime access with a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. YOUR PRIVACY The step data Wandercoon reads stays on your phone. If you create an account and agree to it, your daily step totals are backed up to it with your game progress; nothing more detailed ever leaves your phone. We never sell your data, and there are no ads. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese. Wandercoon is not a medical device and is not intended for medical or diagnostic use. Step counts come from Apple Health or your iPhone's pedometer and are used only to move Wander along the journey.

StepScroll blocks the apps that eat your day and opens them again when you move. Walk, squat, hold a plank or stretch, and every step and rep turns into minutes of scroll time. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps you want to use less. StepScroll blocks them with Apple's Screen Time. • Earn minutes by moving. Your steps count on their own, from your iPhone or Apple Watch through Apple Health. Or prop up your phone and the camera counts your reps and holds. • Spend them when you like. The apps open, the timer runs, and they block again by themselves when it reaches zero. 32 MOVES, FOUR WAYS TO EARN • Workout: squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, plank, wall sit and more • Yoga: tree, warrior II, chair, downward dog, cobra, cat-cow • Stretch: forward fold, hamstring, quad, child's pose, butterfly and more • Pilates: glute bridge, the hundred, roll-up, teaser, dead bug and more YOUR RULES • Choose Gentle, Balanced or Strict, then fine-tune what every move is worth. • Set the steps that open your day and the minutes they unlock. • Minutes you earn are banked and never expire. • A real emergency? You get 3 emergency unlocks a month. SEE IT CHANGE Keep your streak, watch your steps add up, and see the time you spend in the apps you've blocked fall week by week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The camera counts reps on your phone. Frames are never recorded or sent anywhere. • Your Screen Time data and the apps you pick never leave your phone. • StepScroll only reads your step count from Apple Health and never writes to it. • No account, no sign-up.
