Gulliver Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Gulliver Steps is a pedometer that turns your daily walking into Gulliver's voyages. Every step you take moves the journey forward: set sail on the Antelope, wake up tied down in Lilliput (where your 1 step counts for 12), cross the giants' fields of Brobdingnag (where 12 of yours count for 1), pass under the flying island, and reach Luggnagg - the last port your sea chart can name. The chart ends there. The country doesn't. Beyond the false destination lies the one land Gulliver visited that your maps can only misspell: Yedo, Nangasac - é·å“. Unlock The Unknown Port and walk the readable country - the harbor of Nagasaki, the country of horses, and the long walk home. 42,000 steps, door to door. FEATURES ⢠Steps counted on your iPhone - no account, no ads, no data collection ⢠12 chapters illustrated with public-domain engravings and ukiyo-e prints (Grandville, Rackham, Hiroshige, the Nagasaki school) ⢠Lines quoted letter-for-letter from the 1735 text of Gulliver's Travels ⢠Scale conversion: watch your steps count twelvefold in Lilliput ⢠10 collectible keepsakes along the road, from a pocket telescope to the key to Redriff ⢠Apple Watch app: your voyage on your wrist ⢠One one-time purchase opens the second half. No subscriptions. The chart is sepia. The sea past Luggnagg is indigo. Walk until the letters change.
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. ā 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. ā 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. ā 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. ā 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. ā 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: Gulliver Steps at none against UdeTancho's shown. Gulliver Steps also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
