Most running apps only track your runs. But what you do the other 23 hours — how much you walk, how active your recovery days are — has a significant impact on your overall fitness and injury risk.
Runners with higher daily step counts (outside of formal workouts) tend to recover faster, maintain base aerobic fitness more consistently, and are less prone to overuse injuries from the shock of sudden training spikes.
Steps App fills that gap. Sync with Apple Health to capture everything — your runs, your commute walk, your lunchtime stroll — and see your full daily activity picture in one place.
Problems you know — and exactly how Steps App fixes them.
“My running app only captures my workouts — I have no idea how active I am the rest of the day.”
Steps App tracks every single step 24/7, giving you a complete picture beyond just your runs.
“I can't easily tell how many total calories I'm burning each day including walking.”
Steps App shows active calorie burn from all movement, combined with your Apple Health workout data.
“I want to see my weekly step trends to make sure I'm staying active on rest days.”
Bar charts show day-by-day step totals — so you can ensure even rest days include movement.
“I run 3 days a week but feel like I'm barely moving the other 4 days.”
See exactly how active your non-running days are on a per-hour basis.
Built to make daily walking effortless and motivating
All steps counted — warm-up, cool-down, runs, and daily walking — unified in one view.
Calories from steps and workouts combined. Apple Health integration keeps everything accurate.
See total daily distance from steps, separate from your GPS-tracked run distance.
Week and month views show patterns — are you active on rest days or recovering too passively?
Pulls workouts, steps, and active energy from Apple Health — no duplicate tracking.
Records your best day, best week, and best month for steps — motivating you beyond the run.
Clean, intuitive, and built for daily use
