Step Counter - Pedometer

This pedometer earns its place through three promises it actually keeps. The first is battery life. It counts steps using the phone's built-in motion sensor, a dedicated low-power chip designed for exactly this, rather than keeping GPS running in the background. The practical result is that you can leave it on all day and not notice its effect on your charge. The second is that nothing is locked. Every feature is free, with no premium tier waiting behind the feature you turn out to need, which in this category is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly. The third is privacy. There is no sign-in, no account and no personal data collected or shared with third parties. Your step count stays a fact about you rather than a row in somebody's database. Counting is automatic once you tap start. The phone can be in your hand, a bag, a pocket or an armband, and the screen can be locked; steps are still recorded. Alongside steps it tracks calories burned, walking distance and time, presented as clear graphs rather than raw numbers, so a week's activity can be read at a glance. Start, pause and reset are all available, which matters when you want to measure a particular walk rather than a whole day.
