Walk. Dig. Reveal. Turn every step you take into a treasure hunt. Your real-world steps power a pickaxe that slowly cracks open a rock β and when you hit your goal, a hidden gem is revealed. The walk you were going to do anyway finally pays off. β HOW IT WORKS β β’ Walk. Your steps (read securely from Apple Health) chip away at the rock, stage by stage. β’ Dig. Watch the rock crack across multiple stages as your daily steps add up. β’ Reveal. Reach your goal and pull out the gem hiding inside. β’ Collect. Every gem lands in your collection β 10 gems across 4 rarities, from common Rose Quartz and Citrine to legendary Moonstone and Diamond. Can you find them all? β’ Share. Export your reveal as a video or photo card and show off what you dug up. β WHY YOU'LL KEEP WALKING β β’ A real reason to hit your step goal every day β your "silly little walk" is now excavation work. β’ Stock your extra steps and set a new rock whenever you're ready. β’ Home Screen widget shows your rock, your day count, and your progress at a glance. β’ Light & dark themes, with optional automatic switching by time of day. β OPTIONAL UPGRADES (IN-APP PURCHASES) β DigStep is free to play. If you want rarer finds, faster: β’ Silver & Gold Stones β guarantee higher-rarity gems on a dig. β’ Gold Stones can even turn a word you "bury" into an AI-crafted gem, fossil, or relic. β’ Silver Plan / Gold Plan β auto-renewable monthly subscriptions for unlimited premium stones (Gold also unlocks the stats dashboard). β’ Stats Dashboard β a one-time unlock for monthly stats and personal bests. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/privacy β PRIVATE BY DESIGN β β’ Your collection and progress stay on your device. Step data is read from Apple Health and never leaves your phone. β’ No account. No social feed. Just you, your steps, and what you dig up. Crystal lover, step-counter, or just someone who wants a reason to move β DigStep turns walking into something worth opening.

Most calorie trackers hold you to a strict daily limit. Cal/d tracks your daily average instead, so one heavy day doesn't wreck your progress. Set a start date and daily limit, and Cal/d reads dietary energy from Apple Health to show: - Daily Average: total calories since your start date, divided by days elapsed. - Remaining Calories: stay under your limit and you build a surplus to spend whenever you want. - Surplus Goal: surplus divided by daily limit is how many days you've saved. Set a target (say, 3 days). - Countdown to Next 250: a timer until your next 250 calories, expandable to 5 timers ahead (20 with Plus). Don't want to wait? Factor in Active Energy too. A jog raises your surplus and moves you closer to your goal. Log calories and nutrition directly in Cal/d, or keep your current tracker and open it with one tap from a built-in link list. Anything that writes to Apple Health, Cal/d can read. PLUS FEATURES: - Unlimited What-If calorie planning - Unlimited surplus-goal days - All 20 countdown milestones - Custom Stats date ranges longer than 30 days - "Lastβ¦" Stats periods beyond the last 7 days - After-exercise pace comparison - Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Calorie checkpoint notifications Cal/d is not medical advice. Consult your doctor before changing your diet.
