StepHaven is a little town made of the steps you are already taking. StepHaven reads the step count from your Apple Health app. Each step equals one point to spend on cottages, gardens, ponds, trains and boats. Design your own houses and customize the landscape with hills and waterfalls. Build a town with up to three friends. StepHaven is for iPhone and free to play, with no ads, and points cannot be purchased. All towns are built with real steps.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Brody, and I built StepHaven on my own.
I wanted a step counter that gave me a reason to go for the walk, not just a number at the end of the day. So in StepHaven every step you walk is a point, and you spend your points building a cozy little town. A ten-minute walk pays for your first house. An ordinary day on your feet builds a street.
A few things I'm proud of:
Over 500 things to build, and every tree, cottage and animal is drawn in code
A Workshop where you design your own houses: the shape, style, roof, colours, flower boxes and a chimney that smokes
Villagers who go about their day, wild animals that visit, and light and seasons that follow your clock
Shared havens, where you build one town with up to three friends
Wheelchair pushes count the same as steps
Your step count never leaves your phone, and there are no ads
It's free to play. StepHaven+ and item packs add more styles and items, but points can never be bought: every town is built on real walks. Everyone who downloads in these early weeks also gets the Pioneer Gnome, a founders' statue that won't be offered again.
I'd love to know what you'd build first, and anything that felt off. Thanks for taking a look!
