Log the walks your phone missed. You left your phone at home, or the battery died, or you spent half an hour on the treadmill β€” Health has no idea. I Really Did Walk lets you add those steps back in. β–  One thing, done well Enter a step count, pick Today or Yesterday, and it's saved to Health. Walking distance is estimated from your height, so it always matches your step count. No account, no cloud, no ads, no subscription. β–  Honesty is the whole point Every entry you log is marked as manually entered β€” you can see exactly which entries are yours and when you logged them, right inside Health. We never disguise them as automatically detected data. After you log, the app tells you how much today's total in Health actually changed. If you wear an Apple Watch, steps from the same stretch of time don't add together, so the real increase can be smaller than what you entered β€” we show that honestly, and let you decide whether to top up the difference. β–  No double counting By default, logging automatically avoids any time already covered by existing step data, so what you add never stacks on top of steps you already have. β–  Log it in seconds ・Home screen widget: today's progress at a glance ・Control Center button: one tap logs your usual amount ・Shortcuts and Siri: "Log 3,000 steps with I Really Did Walk" β–  Watch it add up A daily goal ring, a 7-day bar chart, a streak counter. Every time you log, a little sprout pops up and joins your crew. β–  Your data stays on your device This app doesn't collect anything, doesn't upload anything, has no analytics, and runs no servers. Every step goes straight into your own Health app β€” we can't see it, and we don't want to. β–  One more thing This is a logging tool, not a pedometer β€” it doesn't detect your movement automatically. Every entry is something you typed in yourself. Your iPhone and Apple Watch already track steps automatically; this app is for the ones they missed.
