Your iPhone already counts every step you take. Just Steps shows that number the way it deserves to be shown: big, honest, and with nothing else in the way. THE DAY IS A TRAIL Steps you have taken draw the path. Steps ahead stay dots. A flag marks your goal, and a small walker shows exactly where you are between them. When you pass the flag, the trail is yours; tap any of the last seven days to walk back through it. THE HONEST NUMBER Pair an Apple Watch but only wear it for workouts, and Apple's Fitness app follows the Watch, showing you almost nothing. Just Steps reads the same de-duplicated total as the Health app, so the count is right whether your steps come from your iPhone, your Watch, or both. MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - One screen: today, your goal, your week - A daily goal you set once and change in two taps - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Designed dark, end to end NOTHING ELSE No account. No cloud. No ads. No subscription. No streak guilt. Your steps stay in Apple Health, where they already live. Just Steps simply shows them properly. Requires access to Apple Health step data.

About

Steps

A day takes shape through movement. The way to the kitchen. A walk without a destination. The few steps between one thought and the next. Small distances, almost unnoticed, become the rhythm of a life. Steps is a simple step counter for iPhone, designed to give that everyday movement a little more attention. See today and your week, and set a daily goal that fits your life. Nature rarely stands still. Petals turn towards light; growth follows a rhythm; a form emerges from many small changes. The flower at the center of Steps carries this idea into an object you can touch. Brush its petals and movement travels between them. Tilt your phone and light and perspective shift. A quiet moment of play, alongside the steps of your day. Take your steps outside. Start a walk to record its route, then revisit it on a quiet discovery map. Turn the minute wheel to make time for a short walking pause. Your steps and saved walks stay on your device, with no account or advertising. Apple provides the map data. Time keeps moving. You can find your own pace.
