Manpo Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
The step counter you can trust. Manpo Steps shows one number, the same one Apple Health shows, and it can prove it. Tap the number to see the arithmetic: what your Watch counted, what your iPhone counted, the overlap Health removed. No other step counter shows its work. Streaks built for humans. Rest days keep your streak alive. Sick days and travel days pause it; they never break it. A day is judged in the timezone you actually lived it, so crossing an ocean cannot cost you a streak. A walk, live. Tap the sun and the walk counts on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your wrist. Turn on Count while locked and it keeps counting in your pocket, with distance and pace. Six faces, one obsession. Your day, six ways: a vertical rail, a station sign, a rising sun, the 1965 manpo-kei dial, a stamp-rally card, a station timetable. Inspired by the Japanese 万æ©è¨ˆ, the 1965 pedometer that invented the 10,000-step goal. Honest everywhere. Widgets and Watch complications show the count and when it was last updated, never a stale number pretending to be live. Siri knows your steps today. Yours. • No account. No ads. Nothing leaves your device. • Export everything as CSV or JSON, free. • Free, forever: the honest number and the proof behind it, streaks with rest days, widgets, complications, Siri, the rail and the sign faces, ninety days of history. • Manpo Pro: every face and every face to come, a full year of history, your own rest-day allowance. A week, a year, or once, for good. Everything is unlocked for the first seven days. Manpo Steps reads steps, distance and flights from Apple Health. It writes nothing, except a walk you start on your Apple Watch, which is saved as a Walking workout.
