Stepwise Improvements: Walking - Stay Active, Stay Healthy
by•
Your chair is killing you. Slowly.
Stepwise Improvements is a watchOS app that taps your wrist once an hour with one ask: take a 5-minute walk. No streaks. No guilt. No nagging.
Five minutes × 8 hours = 40 minutes of movement you weren't getting before.
Logs to Apple Health. Integrates with Apple Journal. Never touches your data.
Small steps. Taken consistently. That's not a fitness philosophy — it's physics.
Your desk will be there when you get back.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to launch Stepwise Improvements, an app designed to help people improve their health by getting to do a 5-minute walk every hour during their workday. This simple yet effective feature leverages Apple's HealthKit to capture the data, providing users with a safe and private tracking mechanism.
What makes Stepwise Improvements unique is its gentle reminder system, which encourages users to move without feeling nagged. The app is based on a story I heard on NPR - 5 Minute Movement Breaks Sitting.
I'd love to hear your feedback and any questions you may have. Thank you for your support and I can't wait to see how Stepwise Improvements can help you improve your health!
