SilverStrong is built for people over 50 who want to move well at home — without a gym, without a class, and without guessing whether any of it is working. START WITH A NUMBER, NOT A GUESS The Check is a five-minute test you do at home: how many times you can stand from a chair in 30 seconds, and how long you can hold four balance positions. Your result is scored against the published figures for your age and sex, so you know where you actually stand. A SESSION BUILT FOR TODAY Every session is assembled to the length you choose, from movements you can actually do — seated, holding on, or free-standing — and it leaves out anything that loads a joint you have told it is sore. IT LISTENS, AND IT CHANGES Rate the effort and any pain at the end, answer one question the next morning, and the plan moves. Two clean sessions and it steps up. Pain, or soreness that is worse the next day, and it eases back. The reason is written on the screen in plain words every time. THE THREE WEEKLY TARGETS Moving minutes, strength days and balance days, tracked separately against the World Health Organization's weekly numbers for adults. Balance is the one almost nobody counts. BUILT FOR THE EYES AND HANDS THAT WILL USE IT Large type, high contrast, generous buttons, spoken instructions so you can look away from the phone, and a light and a dark theme. It works on iPhone and iPad. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE The Check and its score, a complete session every single day, the whole movement library, the three weekly targets and every safety behaviour are free — permanently. SILVERSTRONG PLUS (optional subscription) - Unlimited re-Checks, your trend line, and a projected date you reach the published average for your age - Sessions that step up on their own, plus 20 and 30 minute lengths - Your stiffness compared across session days and rest days - A printable session sheet and a summary page you can hand your doctor - Your full history $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically at the same price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. SilverStrong is a wellness tool, not medical advice. If something hurts, changes, or worries you, talk to your doctor.

Every other wellness app measures the time you spend with it. Earthwicking measures the time you spend outside. Made for people who want a short, daily outdoor practice — nature connection, mindfulness or quiet spiritual reflection — that fits a balcony or a back step as well as a forest. THE TWO-HOUR LINE A study of 19,806 people found that under 120 minutes of nature a week was no better than none, and 120 or more was — and that it made no difference whether that came from one long walk or a dozen small moments. That last part is the whole point. Two minutes under a tree is not a consolation prize; it is a deposit against the same line. Earthwicking shows you the week against that line, works out your own pace, projects where you will land, and tells you the smallest honest step that would clear it. And when the week genuinely cannot be cleared, it says so, instead of inventing a target. TODAY'S EARTHWICKING MOMENT One short practice a day, two to ten minutes, dealt from a library of 67 and chosen for the Path you picked and the outdoor space you actually have. A balcony never gets handed a woodland practice. THREE PATHS Nature Connection for the senses and the ground under you, Nature Mindfulness for attention and breath, or Spiritual Connection for reflection and Scripture. Change it whenever you like. SCREEN-DOWN TIMER Start it, put the phone in your pocket, and go. The one screen this app wants is the one you close. YOUR JOURNEY Seed, Sprout, Young Plant, Sapling, Tree, Grove, Living Forest — earned on the Moments of a lifetime, so a missed day can never move you backwards. There is no streak in this app and the word does not appear in it. WHERE THESE NUMBERS COME FROM Every figure is named to its study, in the app, on one sheet. One claim we were asked for is refused there, and it says why. FREE, FOREVER The daily Moment on every Path, the entire 67-practice library, logging with real minutes, the Screen-Down timer, the growth stages, all eight badges, this week against the 120-minute line and your own pace, the current month's Companion reading, reminders, and 30 days of your own observations. EARTHWICKING DEEPER (optional subscription) The computed depth only: the projection and the prescription, the eight-week trend, Patterns — which path, element, length and time of day actually settle you — all twelve Companion months, unlimited favourites, full history, and a real exported file. - $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings. Earthwicking asks for no location permission and contains no GPS or maps. Nothing in it is medical advice.
