Step Gazelle sets your daily step goal from your own recent step history. Beat your 3rd-lowest day from the last 30 days, and your gazelle crosses the savanna to the watering hole. As you build your streak, your goal rises, moving you toward the target you set. How it works Your daily goal is your 3rd-lowest step count from the past 30 days. When you've been walking less, it's easier. As you build consistency, your daily goal rises. Hit your goal, and today counts toward your streak right away. Miss a day? Spend a pass to save your streak. Your gazelle A savanna scene tracks your day. Your gazelle walks toward the watering hole as you walk and reaches it when you hit your goal. Give your gazelle a name, and tap it to say hello. Trends See your step history by week, month, or six months. Track your average and distance, see how they compare with the previous period, and watch your steps rise over time.

UdeTancho
Read full descriptionHide full description
UdeTancho is a Japanese-inspired fitness app that automatically counts push-ups and quietly records your daily practice. Place your iPhone on the floor. The front camera reads the movement of your face in real time and counts your push-ups, so you can focus on the movement instead of tapping the screen or counting by hand. ■ Waka Progress As you train, Hyakunin Isshu poems are written one character at a time. Completed poems unlock a modern translation, commentary, and historical background. Your workout record gradually becomes a poetry collection. ■ Poetic Places Map Explore places connected to the poems. Follow poetic place names and the poets' historical centers while the world of Hyakunin Isshu opens up little by little. ■ Records See today's reps, total reps, streaks, and history at a glance. A heatmap makes your practice visible over time. Even small sessions matter when they add up. ■ Built for Sustainable Practice If you leave the measurement screen or if no count is detected for a while, measurement stops automatically. UdeTancho is designed to support a sustainable habit, not unsafe max-rep chasing. ■ Key Features • Automatic push-up counting • Real-time detection using the front camera • Hyakunin Isshu waka progress collection • Modern translations, commentary, and background notes • Poetic places map • Daily records and heatmap • Streak tracking • Japanese & English support • Optional in-app purchase to remove ads Make push-ups a little easier to keep doing. One rep today becomes the next character.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Step Gazelle at none against UdeTancho's shown. Step Gazelle also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). UdeTancho's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
