FAQ
Is DailySteps free?
Yes. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no ads, on iPhone and Android.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. DailySteps for Android runs on Android 12 or later and reads your steps from Health Connect, which phones running Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fitbit and similar apps share their steps through. Like the iPhone app it has no accounts, no internet access and no ads.
Does DailySteps have the AI coach?
No. The AI coach, AI insights, widgets, Apple Watch app and CSV export are in DailyStepsPro. DailySteps stays deliberately simple.
