StepTracker uses iPhone motion data, with optional Apple Health integration to include Apple Watch steps when you want a more complete picture of your activity. Stay motivated with optional Game Center leaderboards. Compete with friends or other StepTracker users around the world for the best daily step count and stair count, or turn Game Center features off if you prefer to keep things private.
