Weekday, weekend and custom goals
A desk job Tuesday and a free Saturday are not the same day, and one flat goal makes one of them a lie. Stepzy lets you split the target so each kind of day gets a number that fits it.
Split: weekdays and weekends
- Open the goal editor from the goal badge on the Today screen, or from Step Goal in Settings.
- Choose Split from the picker at the top.
- Set the weekday slider - this covers Monday to Friday.
- Set the weekend slider - this covers Saturday and Sunday.
- Tap Done.
From then on the goal badge on the Today screen reads WEEKDAY or WEEKEND so you always know which target is live.
Custom: a goal for every day
Custom mode gives you seven sliders, one per weekday, starting at Sunday, with a TODAY badge marking the current day. It is useful when your week has a fixed shape - a long walk every Wednesday, a rest day every Monday.
Custom mode requires Stepzy Pro. Daily and Split are free.
How split goals affect streaks and history
Each day is measured against its own goal. A Saturday with a 6,000-step weekend goal counts as complete at 6,000, even if your weekday target is 12,000. History is handled the same way: every past day is graded by the goal that was active on that date, so switching to split goals does not repaint your calendar or break a streak you already earned.
The Goal Calendar heatmap and the ring colours in the date strip both follow the same rule.
Where the split goal shows up
- The Today screen goal badge and progress bar.
- Every Home Screen and Lock Screen widget.
- The Monthly Steps Calendar widget, day by day.
- Your Apple Watch app and complications.
Widgets and the Watch derive the right target locally from the schedule they already have, so the goal flips at midnight even if you do not open Stepzy that morning.
Frequently asked questions
Which days count as the weekend?
Saturday and Sunday. If your week does not work that way, Custom mode lets you set each day individually.
Can my weekend goal be higher than my weekday goal?
Yes. The two sliders are independent - plenty of people walk far more on days off.
Do split goals work on the Apple Watch?
Yes. Your schedule syncs to the Watch, which works out the right goal for the day on its own.
