Read full description

Stride is a beautifully simple step tracker designed around one thing: the satisfaction of closing your daily goal. Watch your steps climb a single glowing ring in real time as you walk. Cross your goal and the ring comes alive with a celebration — and your streak grows by another day. — A LIVING RING — Your day is one elegant ring that fills as you move, lapping itself when you blow past your goal. Powered by your iPhone's motion sensor and Apple Health, it updates live. — STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING — Every day you hit your goal extends your streak. Tap the flame to celebrate. Switched from another app? Import your history so your streak picks up right where it left off. — DAY, WEEK & MONTH — Swipe between days, weeks, and months with smooth finger-following carousels. See per-day bars, weekly totals, a full month calendar, and long-range trend charts at a glance. — INSIGHTS — A "My Day" view plots today's pace against your typical day so you know if you're ahead or behind. Trends break down steps, distance, calories, and active time across any period, with personal records for your best day, best week, and longest streak. — MADE YOURS — Light or dark theme, a palette of accent colors from neon to soft pastels, and an adjustable daily goal. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Stride has no account, no servers, and no tracking. Your data is read from Apple Health and your iPhone's pedometer and stays entirely on your device. Stride reads steps and walking + running distance from Apple Health and uses Motion & Fitness to count live. It never writes to Health and never sends your data anywhere.
