About this app

Most step counters hand you a number and hope you care. Two weeks later, you don't.

WALKn gives you a shoe.

Every step you take goes into a real piece of gear on your feet — a shoe that levels up, earns stats, wears down, and slowly becomes unmistakably yours. Socket a charm. Weave a better set of laces. Repair it, upgrade it, and show it off on the leaderboard. Everyone starts in a plain pair. What yours turns into is entirely down to how far you walk.

It's a proper step counter and walking app — accurate, quiet, and free. It just wraps a game around your daily steps, so you actually keep opening it.


TRACK EVERY STEP
• An accurate pedometer and step counter that runs quietly in the background — no need to keep the app open
• A simple activity tracker for everyday walking and exercise — no gym, no wearable, no subscription
• An ongoing notification shows your live steps and distance while a tracking session is active
• Distance, calories burned and daily steps at a glance — in miles or kilometres
• A calorie estimate that gets more personal with every detail you add — weight, height, age — and works fine before you add any
• Your full walking and fitness history, a 7-day trend chart, and personal records
• Tap any day to see exactly what you walked


DAILY GOALS THAT ADAPT TO YOU
• A starting goal based on your real activity, not a flat 10,000 nobody hits
• Your goal grows as you do — WALKn notices when yours has become too easy and offers to raise it
• Build a streak, climb the tiers from Spark to Eternal, and earn more for every day you keep it alive
• A grace window while you find your feet, so one missed day doesn't erase a month


A SHOE THAT'S ACTUALLY YOURS
• Level up your shoe as you walk and push its stats past their limits
• Stats that genuinely change how you earn — Durability, Earning, Luck and Experience Gain
• Socket charms and swap laces to build the shoe around how you actually walk
• Shoes wear down with real distance — keep yours repaired or watch your earnings fall
• Feed gear you've outgrown into the tailoring machine for a shot at something a tier above — keep the look you've grown attached to, or remake it into something new entirely
• Every shoe, lace and charm has its own colourway, material and finish — suede, chrome, holographic and more


EARN AS YOU GO
• Foot Prints for every verified step, spent on repairs, upgrades and unlocks
• Crates drop while you walk, from Common all the way to Legendary
• Your first crate is guaranteed early on — no waiting on a lucky drop
• Open them for shoes, laces, charms, keys and repair kits
• Hundreds of achievements, from your first mile to the distance of the Moon — follow the Trail and see exactly how far you've come


COMPETE, IF YOU WANT TO
• Daily, weekly and monthly step leaderboards with real rewards
• A separate streak board for the most stubborn walkers
• Pin your proudest achievements to a player card and let other walkers tap through to see your gear
• Share your card, a new achievement or your week as an image — anywhere you like


REAL STEPS ONLY
This is the part we care about most. Most pedometers count any shake. WALKn checks how you're actually moving — your walking rhythm and your real displacement — so shaking your phone, driving, or leaving it on the dog doesn't earn you anything. Everyone on the leaderboard walked for it.


FAIR BY DEFAULT
• Free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall — there is nothing to buy
• No forced ads. Watch one only if you choose to skip a wait
• No background location tracking. WALKn never asks for it
• Every notification is yours to switch off, by kind
• Your progress backs up to your Google account, so a new phone doesn't cost you your streak


ON YOUR WRIST
Wear OS tiles put your rank, your crates and your shoe a swipe from the watch face — and they keep updating even when your phone stays in your pocket.

Lace up. Your first mile is waiting.

What’s new

Improved:
- Smoother Home: the shoe's glow and reflection are drawn once, not every frame
- Smoother scrolling at the top of Home
- The crate floats while it waits on the opening screen
Fixed:
- Dashboard animations froze when the phone sat still
- Sharing could send an older card instead of the one in the preview
- A badge took minutes to show on your leaderboard picture
- The crate jumped up as the spotlight revealed it
- A failed step-history backup could be lost if the app closed first
