A walking game for iPhone

Walk.
Your forest grows.

Stepwood turns the steps you already take into a cozy forest. Maple the fox walks with you, and every step waters a tree.

Counts your steps with Apple Health. No account needed.

How it works

Three small things, every day

No training plans and no leaderboards. Just a walk, and a forest that's a little bigger than yesterday.

1 Walk

Go about your day. Stepwood reads your steps from Apple Health, so there is nothing to start or stop.

2 Pour

Your steps fill a watering can. Tap the water drop and it rains over your forest.

3 Watch it grow

New trees spring up, old ones fill out, and now and then somebody new moves in.

Your forests

First a clearing. Then a whole grove.

Each forest is its own place, with its own trees, weather and visitors. Finish one and the next begins.

The Clearing

Where it starts. Fifty trees around your heart tree, a pond, and a rabbit who digs the first burrow.

  • 50 trees
  • Soft summer light
  • About a week of walking

Autumn Grove

Orange maples, golden poplars and leaves on the wind. A longer walk, for when the habit has stuck.

  • Falling leaves
  • New visitors
  • A few months of walking

Real trees

Finish a forest. A real tree is planted.

With Stepwood Plus, every forest you finish plants a real tree through Ecologi, up to 3 a year. You get to see where it went.

  • Planted in real reforestation projects
  • One tree for each finished forest, up to 3 a year
  • Shown on a public page anyone can check

Questions

Good to know

How does Stepwood count my steps?

Stepwood reads your steps from Apple Health, with your permission. It only reads them. It never writes to Apple Health, and it works with the steps your iPhone or Apple Watch already counts.

Is Stepwood free?

Yes. Every forest, every visitor, the step counter, the Lock Screen widget and reminders are free. Free players see at most one short video a day when they water their forest. Stepwood Plus removes the videos and plants real trees for the forests you finish.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing is lost. Your trees stay, and any steps you haven't poured keep adding up. Your heart tree gets thirsty if you walk less than half your goal, and a walk perks it right back up.

Does Stepwood plant real trees?

With Stepwood Plus, a real tree is planted through the tree-planting service Ecologi for each forest you finish, up to 3 a year.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. An iPhone is enough. If you wear an Apple Watch, its steps count too, because they are in Apple Health.

Is my health data private?

Yes. There is no account to create, your name is never asked for, and your Health data is never shared with advertisers. You can turn off usage sharing and delete your data in the app. The privacy policy has the details.
