Walkful turns your daily walks into something meaningful — calmly, and entirely on your phone. Apple Health gives you the numbers. Walkful gives them meaning: progress paired with what it actually does for your health, built on the science of walking rather than the 10,000-steps myth. WHY WALKFUL • Meaning over numbers — see what your activity means, not just a count. • Private by design — everything stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no data collection. • Calm, never pushy — no pace-shaming, no leaderboards, no dark patterns. You compete only against your own records. • Evidence-based — a suggested ~7,000-step goal, grounded in recent research. FREE • Today dashboard: progress ring, distance, active minutes, floors, this-week trend and your streak. • Works with iPhone and Apple Watch via Apple Health. • Gentle, optional reminders to break up long sitting. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. WALKFUL PRO (one-time purchase — no subscription) • Insights: week / month / year trends and a full-year consistency heatmap. • Mobility & fitness: walking speed, steadiness, cardio fitness (VO₂max) and resting heart rate. • Records: best day, week and month, longest streak, most floors. • A calm monthly recap. • The interval-walking coach — guided easy/brisk sessions to boost your fitness. Walkful collects nothing. Your health data is read from Apple Health, used only on your device, and never shared or sold. Made by IAMJARL.

Step Right makes walking feel like a game you actually want to play. Watch your progress fill a beautiful animated ring, chase daily streaks, unlock milestones, and celebrate goal-hit moments with a confetti burst. It's the friendliest way to build a walking habit — and it's completely free with no ads, ever. TODAY, AT A GLANCE A big animated progress ring shows your daily goal at a glance. Below it, live tiles surface everything that matters: • Steps, distance, average speed, and current walking speed • Calories burned and goal progress • Elevation gained and lost, from the barometer • A "since midnight" activity breakdown — walking, running, stationary, sleeping, driving • Current streak with the classic fire icon • Milestone seals at 2.5k, 5k, 7.5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k steps TRENDS THAT ACTUALLY TELL A STORY Beautifully animated bar charts across four ranges — Week, Month, 6 Months, and Year — with a goal line, best-day trophy, and a side-by-side comparison against the previous period. Track your progress over time and see whether you're trending up. AUTOMATIC WALK CAPTURE Turn on auto-capture and Step Right quietly organizes every walk you take, using HealthKit workouts and step-sample gaps. Each walk shows step count, distance, duration, elevation, and a source label so you know exactly where it came from. RECORD A WALK WITH GPS Start a walk and Step Right follows along with a live map, real-time route polyline, current pace, elevation, and step count. When you stop, everything is saved with a mappable route you can revisit later. WALK HISTORY, GROUPED BY DAY Every walk lives in a clean, day-grouped list. Tap any walk to see its route on the map, plus the full stats panel — steps, distance, duration, average speed, ascent, and descent. PRIVACY-FIRST Step Right reads from Apple Health on your device. Nothing leaves your phone — no accounts, no cloud, no tracking, no data collection. Your walks and steps are yours. COMPLETELY FREE. NO ADS. No subscriptions. No paywalls. No in-app purchases. No ads. Just a delightful, thoughtfully designed step tracker built for people who love to walk. Download Step Right and turn every step into progress worth celebrating.
