The Today screen
Today is where Stepzy opens. It shows what you have done so far today, how that compares to your goal, and enough context to tell whether today is a good day or a slow one.
The hero card
The card at the top carries today's date, your live step count, and the distance you have covered. Underneath is a progress bar with your percentage and goal written across it - it turns green the moment you pass 100%.
The count updates continuously as Apple Health records new steps, and Stepzy gives you a haptic tap at every 1,000 steps and again when you cross your goal. Pull down on the screen at any time to force a refresh.
The goal badge
Top right of the hero card is a badge showing the goal in force right now. What is written beneath it depends on your schedule:
- Nothing, if you use one goal every day.
- WEEKDAY or WEEKEND, if you split your goal.
- The three-letter day, such as MON, if you set a custom goal for each day.
Tap the badge to open the goal editor directly. See Weekday, weekend and custom goals.
The date strip
Below the hero card is a horizontal strip of the last 28 days. Each day is a circle with a progress ring - red, amber or green depending on how close you came to that day's goal. Tap any day to load it. Full detail in Viewing past days.
Hourly activity
A 24-bar chart shows when you moved during the day, with a chip naming your most active hour. Drag across it to scrub. See Hourly activity breakdown.
This Week
The This Week card totals the last seven days, shows your daily average, how you compare with the week before, and how many of the seven days met their goal. A seven-bar mini chart sits underneath with a dashed line marking the goal.
Tap the card to open the full weekly breakdown, which adds your best day, total distance, estimated calories, a day-by-day list and a goal streak summary.
The four stat cards
At the bottom is a two-by-two grid. Each card opens a detail screen with charts and an insight written from your own numbers.
| Card | Opens |
|---|---|
| BMI | BMI Insights - your range, a BMI trend chart and a Log Weight sheet |
| Avg Heart Rate | Heart Rate - today's readings and context |
| Total Distance | Distance - distance covered plus floors climbed |
| Total Calories | Calories - active energy burned |
More on all four in Distance, calories, heart rate and BMI.
Rotate your iPhone or iPad and the Today screen becomes two independently scrolling columns, so your ring, stats and history are visible at once.
Frequently asked questions
How often does the step count refresh?
Continuously while the app is open, and again whenever you return to it. Pull down on the Today screen to force a refresh.
Why is my Stepzy count slightly different from the Health app?
They should match, because Stepzy reads Health directly. A small difference usually means Health has not finished merging a recent Apple Watch sync. Give it a minute and pull to refresh.
What is the flame icon at the top?
Your current streak. Tap it for an explanation of how streaks are counted - see How streaks work.
Stepzy is free on the App Store, for iPhone and Apple Watch.
