GlowWalk Lite brings steps, hydration, and daily goals together in one calm, easy-to-read dashboard. MOVE WITH CONTEXT See steps, walking distance, flights climbed, remaining progress, weekly totals, and monthly history from Apple Health. Review streaks, trends, personal bests, and conservative goal suggestions that only change after you confirm them. WALK WITH THE WEATHER Optionally connect approximate location to see the current temperature, rain chance, UV index, and a weather-aware Home background. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather with its required attribution and data-source link. HYDRATION THAT FITS YOUR DAY Log water in ounces, milliliters, or liters. Use quick-add controls in the app, interactive widgets, Apple Watch, Siri, or Shortcuts. Optional reminders offer several tones, plus actions to log 8 oz, snooze for 30 minutes, or finish reminders for the day. WIDGETS AND APPLE WATCH Choose Steps, Hydration, combined, large daily, Lock Screen, and Control Center surfaces. The Apple Watch app shows progress, logs water even when the iPhone is temporarily unavailable, and includes Steps, Water, and Today complications. A SMARTER DAILY CHECK-IN The Daily Brief summarizes your current pace and recent patterns. On supported devices, optional on-device intelligence can vary the wording. Curated local wording keeps every core feature available when that capability is unavailable. BUILT FOR PRIVACY No account is required. Every feature is included with the app. GlowWalk Lite contains no advertisements or tracking. Apple Health and approximate location access are optional and permission-based. Your Health data stays on your devices; GlowWalk Lite does not send it to Henry's Dev.

Daily Steps is free to download; GlowWalk Lite costs $2.99 up front. Daily Steps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and GlowWalk Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GlowWalk Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Steps has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Daily Steps's written reviews are positive against 100% of GlowWalk Lite's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
