Shadowstep vs Steps

Every day, Shadowstep matches you against one hidden rival — and you have until 8 PM to out-walk them. You won't know who they are. Their name is redacted, their city is a guess, their step count climbs in real time beside yours. All you know is the number you have to beat. Then at 8 PM the mask comes off: the identity is revealed, the verdict lands, and you find out whether the stranger you've been racing all day was a friend, a neighbor, or someone you'll never meet. One duel. One day. No grinding, no endless leaderboards, no streak guilt. Just the quiet pressure of someone out there walking — and the question of whether you moved more than they did. HOW IT WORKS • Each morning you're paired with an anonymous rival. • Shadowstep reads your daily step total from Apple Health to keep score. • Watch the gap in real time — your steps against theirs, lane by lane. • At 8 PM, the rival is unmasked and the duel is settled. • Win or lose, you get a share card built to send. WALK YOUR FRIENDS Challenge people you actually know. Find which of your contacts already play (we only ever check secure one-way hashes — your address book never leaves your phone in readable form) and call them out for a head-to-head where you both know exactly who you're racing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Sign in with your phone number — no email, no password. • Shadowstep only READS your step count. It never writes to Apple Health and reads nothing else. • No ad tracking. No data sold. No advertising profiles. Out-walk a stranger before the day ends. Find out who they were. Then do it again tomorrow.

Steps shows your progress toward your personal daily goal at a glance—clear, fast, and distraction-free. • A vivid progress ring for your steps and daily goal • A freely adjustable daily step goal • Your current streak and weekly overview • Widgets for steps, remaining steps, percent, and ring • An Apple Watch app with goal selection via the Digital Crown • Complications for a range of Apple Watch faces With your permission, Steps reads your step count from Apple Health. There is no account, advertising, tracking, or subscription. Your health data is processed only on your devices and is never sent to us or third parties.
