Step Sergeant
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your steps have been unsupervised long enough. Step Sergeant is a step tracker with one job: get you moving more. It tracks your progress, pays attention to how your day is going, gives you fresh daily missions, celebrates when you're crushing it, and gets on your case when you're not. SMART NUDGES THAT PAY ATTENTION Forget the same “Time to walk!” reminder every afternoon. Step Sergeant reacts to how your day is actually going. Start slow, make a comeback, fall behind, close in on a personal best, or absolutely crush your goal—and Sergeant adjusts accordingly. And he knows when to shut up. Step Sergeant sends a handful of timely nudges throughout the day—not a constant stream of notifications every time your step count changes. The result? Fewer, fresher notifications that feel less like reminders and more like somebody is actually paying attention. TODAY'S ORDERS Every day brings a new mission. Hit a step target by a deadline. Add steps during a specific window. Chase a daily total. Make a comeback. Missions adapt to your recent activity and stay fresh, giving you something different to chase instead of staring at the same goal every day. CHOOSE YOUR SERGEANT Need motivation without the roasting? Choose Encouraging Sergeant for supportive nudges that still keep you accountable. Prefer your motivation with significantly less sympathy? Full Sergeant is standing by. Same mission. Different motivation. RANK UP Your steps don't disappear when the day ends. Lifetime steps move you through the ranks, giving all that walking a longer-term purpose—and Sergeant will make sure you know when you've earned a promotion. EARN TROPHIES Some trophies reward consistency. Some reward big days. Some reward unusual accomplishments. And some exist because apparently even your bad habits deserve recognition. MORE THAN A NUMBER Plenty of apps can tell you how many steps you took. Step Sergeant wants to know what you're going to do about it. Your orders are simple: move more.
