Read full description

Khotwa reads the shape of your day, not just the size of it. Most step counters give you one number and leave you to interpret it. Khotwa scores every day on three things that actually matter โ€” when you moved, how hard, and whether today fits what your body has been doing all month โ€” and then tells you what to do about it. THE DAILY BRIEFING Once a day, Khotwa opens with a forecast: at this hour, on days like this, how often did you finish? Not "3,000 steps left" but whether you are going to make it, how many minutes of walking closes the gap at your own pace, and the hour you usually move anyway. Computed entirely on your device from your own history. THE KHOTWA SCORE One number out of 100, built from how your steps were spread across the day, how many were brisk, and how the day compares to your own baseline. A thousand steps every hour beats ten thousand in one burst, and the score says so. LOAD AND READINESS Acute against chronic load, the same measure endurance coaches use, so you know when to push and when a lighter day protects you. YOUR WALKS, WITH THEIR ROUTES Every session records its track and saves to Apple Health. Walks, runs, rides and gym sessions from your Watch or any other app appear here too, each ranked against your own history of the same sport. FRIENDS AND CHALLENGES Add people by username, compare weeks, and run private challenges. Your route and location are never shared โ€” only totals. BUILT FOR ARABIC Arabic-first, right to left, with Hijri dates and prayer-time-aware reminders. Full English support. KHOTWA PRO Full history and analysis, unlimited plans, the AI coach, and smarter reminders. Auto-renewing subscription. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Khotwa Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.

About

Stride Step Leaderboard

Features
Read full description

Stride turns your friends into a weekly step race. Start a crew, share the invite code, and everyone's daily steps from Apple Health land on one leaderboard. The board resets every Monday, so every week is a fresh race. - See the whole board at a glance: today's steps, your rank, and exactly how far you are behind the next person. - Go head to head with anyone in your crew, day by day. - Look back over your last twelve weeks on a simple history grid. - Join as many crews as you like: family, office, running club. Your steps count in all of them. FAIR BY DESIGN Stride reads one number from Apple Health: your daily step count. It merges your iPhone and your watch or band the way Apple Health does, so nothing is counted twice, and it leaves out steps typed in by hand. The board reflects real walking. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Crews are invite-only. Stride never reads heart rate, sleep, workouts or location, and never sells or shares your data. You can delete your account and every step Stride has stored for you at any time, right in the app.
