A nudge has to earn the interruption
Most stand reminders get muted because they fire on a timer and sound like an alarm. This one only speaks up when your day is heading short of your goal.
About
Built by someone who sits too long.
Steps Widget started as a fix for my own workday: a move reminder I would not immediately turn off.
Why Steps Widget exists
I write software for a living. A good day means a few uninterrupted hours, and the cost is a body that has not moved since breakfast.
I tried the usual stand reminders. Every one fired on a timer, buzzed while I was holding something complicated in my head, and used a sound I never picked. I turned them all off within a fortnight.
So Steps Widget works differently. Your iPhone learns your own daily pattern and projects where your step count is heading, so the nudge only comes when your day is falling short, while there is still time to walk. It asks you to walk rather than just stand up. And your step count is there to show you it happened, which is the part that makes it stick.
Glance first
The app is built around visual feedback, not long sessions. Your progress should be visible where you already look.
No pressure
Your progress, your pace. No public leaderboards and no social comparison, so daily movement can stay personal and calm.
On device, not on a server
The model that forecasts your day learns from your own step history and runs on your iPhone. Apple Health data is read with permission and stays local.
