Nine ways to read your walking
,,,,,,,,
A step count says how much. These say whether you’re getting better, down to the same walk getting easier. Hover or tap one to see it.
Smarter thana pedometer.
Features that turn a step count into real progress. Every one starts free, and Pro unlocks the rest.
A trophy for every goal day.
Keep the run going, chase your best, and see exactly how many steps keep it alive tonight.
Every walk, drawn.
Record a walk with its route, even with the phone locked in your pocket. Then replay it as it went, quicker where it was brisk and slower up a hill.
Walk when the light turns soft.
When golden hour starts in your town, tonight's sky, a reminder before it begins and a log of every evening you walked in it.
Not 10,000. Your number.
Built from your real history: each week asks a little more, never over 10%, and every week ends with a recap.
Read the walk, not just the count.
Momentum, Trend, Tempo, Pace and Climb free; Effort, Routine, Evenness and Fitness with Pro.
Your week, told.
Twelve pages on how the week went, from your best day to your longest walk, and a film of it to share.
Worth posting.
Pick a card from the deck, add your own photo or video, and post your day or your walk.
A nudge while there's still time to walk.
In the evening, where today stands against your goal, written from your own steps and worked out on your phone.
Your steps, without opening the app.
Seventeen widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, from Daily Goal to Your Paths, Sky Clock and Walk to Goal.

Something else? Write to support@getstepup.app. We will reply within 24 hours.
Is StepUp free?
Yes. StepUp is free to download, and your steps, streaks, five of the nine metrics, recording walks with their route, the Apple Watch app, the Lock Screen widgets and four share-card themes are free, as are the walking plan and Golden Hour for your first week. StepUp Pro is optional: it adds the other four metrics, all your history, the full walking plan, Golden Hour, every widget, more Expedition routes and three more card themes. Everything free stays free.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Your iPhone counts your steps on its own, and StepUp reads them from Apple Health. If you have one, StepUp's Apple Watch app puts your goal and streak on your wrist, records walks with GPS and heart rate, and adds complications to your watch face. Pace, Effort and Fitness also need walking workouts and walking heart rate, which an Apple Watch records. Without one, those three stay quiet.
Which iPhones does it work on?
Any iPhone on iOS 17 or later. StepUp is built on Apple Health, so it needs an iPhone; its Apple Watch app runs alongside it on watchOS 11 or later.
Where do my numbers come from?
Apple Health. StepUp doesn't count steps itself. It reads what Health already holds. If a number looks wrong, check it in the Health app first, and if the two disagree, write to us: that's a bug.
How does StepUp set my goal?
From your real walking history, not a fixed 10,000. The walking plan gives each day of the week its own target. Each week asks a little more, never over 10%, and ends with a recap.
Do my steps leave my iPhone?
No. Steps, distance, calories, heart rate and gait are read from Apple Health and used only on your phone, and the walks you record, routes included, are kept on your phone and in Apple Health. None of it reaches our servers. We keep your account and what you tell us: your name, your goals and your plan answers.
How do I cancel StepUp Pro?
Apple handles every payment, so you cancel in Settings › your name › Subscriptions on your iPhone, at least 24 hours before the period ends. If Pro ends, nothing is deleted.
Can my family share Pro?
Yes. A Family plan shares Pro with up to six people in your Apple Family group. Each person has their own account and grants their own Apple Health access, and no one can see anyone else's steps.
Free on iPhone · iOS 17 or later
Tomorrow,a little more.
