Walkman · Step counter for iPhone
Your steps.
Nothing else.
Walkman reads your step count from Apple Health, shows you where it puts you in the world, and leaves it at that. No ads, no feed, nothing to fill in.
The object
Eight things, and no ninth.
How it works
Three taps, then it is just walking.

Let it read Apple Health
Walkman asks once, for steps, distance and active energy. Read-only — it never writes to Health.
Health · read-only
Then nothing
Walk
The count is already there when you open it, and on the widget when you do not.
No setup · no logging
The payoff
Open it and you already know where you stand.
The value
Why Walkman
Your steps are yours. Nothing is sold, and there are no third-party trackers in the app.
Walkman asks to read steps, distance and active energy. It never writes anything back to Health.
No ads, no sponsored rows, nothing sitting between you and the number.
One tap. No password to invent and no email to go and confirm.
Today, this week and this month, against everyone else out walking.
A widget that keeps the count in front of you without opening anything.
A hundred characters, earned by walking rather than bought.
Delete your account from inside the app and everything stored with it goes too.
