About

Stride

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 โ€” and your streak grows by another day. โ€” A LIVING RING โ€” 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. โ€” STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING โ€” 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. โ€” DAY, WEEK & MONTH โ€” 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. โ€” INSIGHTS โ€” 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. โ€” MADE YOURS โ€” Light or dark theme, a palette of accent colors from neon to soft pastels, and an adjustable daily goal. โ€” PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€” 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.

About

Khotwa

Khotwa reads the shape of your day, not just the size of it. Most step counters give you one number and leave you to interpret it. Khotwa scores every day on three things that actually matter โ€” when you moved, how hard, and whether today fits what your body has been doing all month โ€” and then tells you what to do about it. THE DAILY BRIEFING Once a day, Khotwa opens with a forecast: at this hour, on days like this, how often did you finish? Not "3,000 steps left" but whether you are going to make it, how many minutes of walking closes the gap at your own pace, and the hour you usually move anyway. Computed entirely on your device from your own history. THE KHOTWA SCORE One number out of 100, built from how your steps were spread across the day, how many were brisk, and how the day compares to your own baseline. A thousand steps every hour beats ten thousand in one burst, and the score says so. LOAD AND READINESS Acute against chronic load, the same measure endurance coaches use, so you know when to push and when a lighter day protects you. YOUR WALKS, WITH THEIR ROUTES Every session records its track and saves to Apple Health. Walks, runs, rides and gym sessions from your Watch or any other app appear here too, each ranked against your own history of the same sport. FRIENDS AND CHALLENGES Add people by username, compare weeks, and run private challenges. Your route and location are never shared โ€” only totals. BUILT FOR ARABIC Arabic-first, right to left, with Hijri dates and prayer-time-aware reminders. Full English support. KHOTWA PRO Full history and analysis, unlimited plans, the AI coach, and smarter reminders. Auto-renewing subscription. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Khotwa Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.
