Read full descriptionHide full description
Count every step, hit your daily goal, and watch your progress add up. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a one-week free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. StepLog turns your iPhone into a precise, private step counter and pedometer. The moment you open it, today's steps, distance, calories and active time are right there on a clean dashboard built for a single glance. There is no account to create and no sign up to sit through. Your activity is read straight from the motion sensor and Apple Health, then stored on your own device, so your daily movement always stays yours. Set a daily step goal that fits you, whether that is a gentle 5,000, the classic 10,000, or an ambitious target you are training toward. A live progress ring fills as you move through the day, and a clear streak counter keeps the momentum going so one good day quietly becomes a habit you can see. Look back over any day, week, month or year. Clean charts show how your steps, distance and calories trend over time, so you can spot your most active days, compare this week to last, and stay honest about rest days. Every walk, errand and workout adds to a history you actually want to revisit. Keep your progress in sight without opening the app. The home screen and lock screen widgets show live steps and goal progress all day, and they refresh as you walk, so a little motivation is always one glance away. WHAT YOU GET - Accurate step counting from the motion coprocessor and Apple Health - A live daily dashboard with steps, distance, calories and active minutes - A custom daily goal with a smooth animated progress ring - Streaks that reward consistency day after day - History and trend charts by day, week, month and year - Home screen and lock screen widgets that update live as you move - Distance in kilometers or miles with a clean metric or imperial switch - Calories burned estimated from your real movement, not guesswork - A bright light mode and a comfortable dark mode for any time of day - Full support for 39 languages, with no setup required PRIVATE BY DESIGN StepLog has no login, no ads and no data harvesting. Your steps and health data live on your device and in Apple Health, never on a server we control. Walking is good for you, and it should never cost you your privacy. Nothing you do here is sold, shared or mined. WHY A STEP GOAL HELPS A simple daily target is one of the easiest ways to move more without overthinking it. Watching the ring close and the streak grow turns a vague intention into a small, satisfying win you can repeat. Over weeks those wins stack into real distance, steadier energy and a routine that finally sticks. BUILT FOR EVERY WALKER Whether you are chasing 10k a day, rebuilding a routine after a break, walking off lunch, training for a longer distance, or simply trying to sit less and move more, StepLog meets you where you are and grows with you. No coach, no noise, just a quiet nudge and an honest count you can trust. Download StepLog, set your goal, and let today's first steps start the streak.

Two ways to train your brain, in one app. WaveMind pairs real-time EEG neurofeedback with a full toolkit of daily nervous system support: binaural beats, bilateral tones, HRV breathing, focus music and brain games. Use it with a BrainBit headband to train your brainwaves, or with just headphones to calm down, focus and reset anytime. NEUROFEEDBACK (BRAINBIT HEADBAND) • Real-time feedback from four EEG sites at the temples and the back of the head • Train while you watch videos, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, read, or play music. Hold your target state and the picture brightens and the sound swells. Drift, and it fades. • Neurofeedback games: Mind Tree, Starry Night, Knight Quest, Tightrope and Vinland • Every session starts with a short measurement of your own resting state, so you train against yourself, not an average • Blinks, movement and jaw tension are filtered out, so noise never counts as progress • A training plan suggested from your intake questions and, if you have one, your brain map • Brain-map reports with a Simple summary and a Detailed view (BrainBit Flex 8) • Session history and progress charts DAILY NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT (NO HEADBAND NEEDED) • Binaural beats across delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma • Bilateral tones and music that move from ear to ear • Guided stress relief with breathing and grounding • HRV and Heart Rate Sync with Apple Watch • Focus music for work and study • Brain training games for memory and attention • Brain Coach: a personalized path through the app APPLE WATCH See your live heart rate during sessions, get a gentle breathing prompt when it runs high, and collect HRV with a one-minute Breathe session. WORK WITH A COACH Have a code from a coach? Enter it when you sign up. Your coach can follow your sessions, adjust your training plan, send you messages, and see your monthly check-ins. DESIGNED BY A LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST WaveMind is made by BrainFit Studio in South Carolina, founded by a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience working with stress and trauma. It uses the same session structure he uses in person: personal baselines, honest signal quality, and feedback that pauses rather than pretends when the signal is not clean. WHAT YOU NEED Headphones are recommended. Neurofeedback requires a compatible BrainBit, BrainBit 2 or BrainBit Flex headband (Bluetooth LE), sold separately. Everything else works without a headband. SUBSCRIPTIONS WaveMind Premium and WaveMind Neurofeedback+ are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Steps Tracker at every 5 days against WaveMind's every 2 weeks. WaveMind's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
