Would you look after a snail? Your snail has no shell. There is only one way to win it back: you walk. When you walk, the snail walks with you. When you stop, it slowly starts to melt β€” and it revives the moment you move again. Reach your step goal for the day and the snail reclaims its shell. Safe inside it, the snail will not melt again for the rest of the day. β–  Your snail lives on your Apple devices. It lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Every time you wake your screen, the Live Activity is right there. Your Apple Watch shows the same little snail. Turn on iPhone Mirroring and it appears in your Mac menu bar too. Watch your snail on whichever device is in front of you. β–  Feed it once every eight hours. After eight hours iOS clears the Live Activity and the Dynamic Island, so the snail starts getting hungry at the six-hour mark β€” a ham appears beside it and it asks to be fed. Tap the snail on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island to feed it, and it lives on your devices for another eight hours. The feeding screen sums up everything that happened while you were away: the steps you took, the distance you covered, how long you were actually walking, and the path newly engraved on the shell in the meantime. A couple of taps a day, whenever your screen is already on, is all it takes. β–  Pick a goal you can actually reach. How about starting at around 6,000 steps? Set a goal your snail can meet, so it reclaims its shell instead of melting. β–  Today's walk is engraved on the shell. Share your own shell β€” step count and distance included β€” to your stories. The shape of the path you walked today is engraved inside the snail's shell exactly as you walked it. The shell trail needs location permission. Even with it turned on, your coordinates are never sent to a server: only today's path is kept on the device, and it disappears at midnight. Because it follows your location, it uses a little more battery. β–  Make the snail yours. Choose the snail's body color and shell color however you like. β–  Neither your steps nor your location leave the device. Β· No sign-up, no login. We never ask for your name, email or phone number. Β· Step counts are read from iOS Fitness data and stored on the device only. Β· No ad or analytics SDKs are included, and the advertising identifier is never read. Β· Location is stored only if you turn on the shell trail, only for the day, only on the device. β–  Unlock PRO One payment unlocks the animated rainbow body and shell, and includes every PRO preset added later. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it stays on your Apple Account. β–  What you need iPhone, iOS 18.0 or later. Motion & Fitness permission is required to read your step count. Korean and English are supported.
