Gait counts your steps on your iPhone. That is the whole idea. ONE SOURCE, ONE NUMBER Most step counters merge readings from your iPhone, your Apple Watch and Health, then show a total that matches none of them. Gait reads the motion sensor in your iPhone and nothing else. One number, nothing to reconcile. NO HEALTH PERMISSION. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. Gait never asks for access to Health, because it never needs it. There is no sign-up and no cloud. Your steps stay on your phone. TODAY AT A GLANCE A trail of footprints fills as you walk, and the arc at the end of it is your goal. Underneath: distance, walking speed, cadence and floors climbed, live from the same sensor. A GOAL THAT FITS Choose 5,000, 8,000, 10,000 or 12,000 steps. The trail redraws to match. Built for iPhone and iPad, in light and dark. Gait is free and always has been. If it earns a place on your home screen there is a tip jar, and that is the only thing it will ever ask you for. WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU WALK, NOT JUST HOW MUCH? Gait Pro adds your full history and the eight walking measurements Apple Health records, including walking speed, step length, walking asymmetry and walking steadiness.
