Walking Buddy

Reminders that say how many steps to take right now, and keep you moving through the day.

Short walks spread across the day, instead of one long walk in the morning or evening. Walking Buddy reads your steps from Apple Health, learns your usual pace, and nudges you when the day starts to slip. Quiet once the goal is done.

Reminders

A little walk, every couple of hours

Each reminder says how many steps to take now to stay on pace, so the goal fills up in short walks across the day instead of one long walk in the morning or evening. Pick the hours and the days; reminders stop the moment the goal is done. Snooze one, or mark the day done, straight from the notification.

History

Watch the streak grow

Goal days, best days and the week against your goal line. Streaks tolerate rest days, and on Pro one missed day a week does not break them. Trends, records, a typical-day profile and every year since your first step sit one tap deeper.

Goals: a 12,000-step 7-day challenge with every day met so far, the active weekday goal, and a weekend goal
Goals

Goals on your schedule

A weekday goal, a weekend goal, or one for every day, each with its own reminder schedule. Set a personal challenge for the next days when you want to push, and Walking Buddy tracks it from Apple Health.
