BlockStep vs RunOn

BlockStep turns walking into building. Every step you take lays one block. Reach your daily Goal and the day's structure is complete; fall short and you keep exactly what you built — the scaffolding stays where you stopped, honestly. A NEW STRUCTURE EVERY DAY Ninety-one authored pieces across thirteen chapters — a cottage, a lighthouse, a locomotive, a hot air balloon, a kraken. Everyone walks the same order from their own first day, so what you meet on day four is a decision somebody made, not an accident of the calendar. YOUR GOAL, YOUR RESOLUTION Set it anywhere from 500 to 30,000 steps. The same structure is built at whatever detail your Goal implies — a modest Goal makes a bolder, chunkier object; an ambitious one makes a finer, more detailed one. Nobody is building a worse version of anything. KEEP GOING A Streak counts the days you finished. Crown a structure by walking 150% of your Goal and you bank a Shield, which quietly saves a day you missed. Ill, or away? Mark the day — your Streak holds where it is, and never pretends you walked. EXTRA STEPS GO SOMEWHERE Walked past your Goal? Point the overflow at an unfinished day from your Collection and finish that one too. The record keeps both truths: what you walked that day, and that a later day completed it. WHERE YOU LEFT IT Every past day is in your Collection: scroll it, open one, and turn it in your hand. Twenty Badges mark what the walking has earned — firsts, streaks, hours, whole chapters — and none of them can be un-earned. ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR HOME SCREEN The watch app counts your steps on its own. The widget shows today's structure as it goes up. Walk mode puts it on your Lock Screen while you are out. IT FOLLOWS YOU Your Collection travels between your own devices through your own iCloud, so a new phone starts where the old one stopped. There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to. FREE, AND THE KIT The first fourteen Steps of the Sequence are free — enough to see whether this is for you. After that the road begins again, and the Kit is a single $4.99 purchase that opens all ninety-one Builds and everything after them. No subscription, no ads, no second currency. Your walking counts either way: the Kit changes what gets built, never what gets recorded. PRIVACY BlockStep reads exactly one thing — your step count — and there is no server of ours for it to go to. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Your Collection is mirrored into your own private iCloud database, which is yours: it lives in your Apple account and we have no key to it. A device that is not signed in to iCloud simply keeps its Collection locally.

Run On is a minimal running log: real map routes, live pace, and a route card or video after every run. No ads, no subscription, no sign-up. BEFORE YOU RUN — A CLEAR ANSWER Live weather and air quality feed a daily Run Index that answers two things in one line: should you run today, and what should you wear. No squinting at humidity, wind speed and PM2.5 to decide. WHILE YOU RUN — EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Real map route, live pace, distance, duration, calories and heart rate, read from Apple Watch via HealthKit rather than estimated. Pedometer calibration keeps distance honest. Take photos mid-run, pause any time, and lock the screen to stop accidental taps — a Live Activity keeps your progress visible on the Lock Screen while the route keeps recording. AFTER YOU RUN — A CARD AND A SHARE Your real route is drawn automatically with kilometre markers and photo pins. Pick a map template (frosted glass, minimal, midnight) and export a card in one tap — or turn the whole route into a video replay with music. Share straight to WeChat, Moments and Xiaohongshu. YOUR MILEAGE BUILDS ITSELF Total distance, run count, calories, weekly chart, weekly goal progress, full history and a badge wall. Milestone badges and personal-best tiers unlock as you go (1K under 9:00 / 7:00 / 5:00 / 4:00 / 3:00, and 3K / 5K / 10K / half marathon / marathon across five tiers). IT CLOSES THE LOOP Every finished run is written to Apple Health — distance, duration, calories and heart rate count toward your Fitness rings, with no manual entry. IPHONE + APPLE WATCH Apple Watch can record a run on its own and sync it back to your phone. A home screen widget shows whether you have run today. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH - No splash ads, no pop-ups - No subscription, no in-app purchase - No social feed to distract you - No account required; data stays on your device - Dark, full-screen interface built for one thing PRIVACY No account, no upload of workout data, no ads, no third-party analytics SDK, no profiling or tracking. Location and workout data are stored on your iPhone and Apple Watch by default; with iCloud sync on, they live in your own private Apple cloud space, which we cannot access.
