A step counter for Android Count steps. Elegantly. Day by day.
Walk sits in your pocket and quietly adds up your day. No ads, no account, and your steps never leave your phone.
Small things, done carefully
The parts you touch every day — charts, colors, settings, and a way to carry your history with you.
Everything it does
A step counter with the parts that matter and none of the parts that don't.
A live ring around your goal
Set a goal in steps, calories or active minutes — the ring and the charts follow it.
Daily to yearly charts
Hour by hour for today, then the last 7 days, 30 days and 12 months.
Counts in the background
Survives a reboot, a time-zone change, and the roll over into tomorrow.
Local backup & restore
Back up daily, weekly or monthly to a folder you choose, and restore on a new phone.
Seven accent colors
Blue, green, purple, yellow, orange, pink or indigo.
Light & dark mode
One tap, and the status and navigation bars change with it.
Questions
Questions people ask
The same answers you'll find inside the app.
Your phone has a step sensor that the app reads. Counting carries on in the background, so you can close the app and still watch your day add up.
To save power, Android puts background apps to sleep, and a sleeping app can't count your steps. Turning battery optimization off for Walk is what keeps your day accurate — it only listens to a sensor your phone is already running, so it stays light on battery.
No. Your steps never leave your phone — there's no account and nothing is uploaded. If you'd like a copy of your history, you can save a backup file from Settings at any time.
In Settings, tap Export Backup to save a backup file. Copy it over to your new phone, install Walk there, and tap Import Backup — your history, goal, and accent color all come with it.
Android asks every app that keeps working in the background to show one, so you always know what's still running. It's set to the quietest level, so it makes no sound and stays tucked out of the way. If you'd rather not see it at all, turning off Walk's notifications hides it — your steps carry on counting either way.
Usually the phone just wasn't moving with you. Walk feels your steps through the phone itself, so it needs to be somewhere that swings or bounces as you walk — a pocket, your hand, a bag. Less often it's because Walk was force-stopped in your phone's settings or an app update restarted it: while it isn't running it can't see you walking.
Both are estimates: calories from how many steps you've taken, and active time from how steadily you keep walking. They're here as a nudge to keep you moving, not as medical measurements.
Yes, all of it. There's nothing to buy, no ads, no account, and no locked features — everything you can see is yours to use. If you'd like to chip in, there's a heart button at the top that opens a donation page in your browser, but it's entirely optional.
Every tab is always there, but each one fills up as your history grows. Daily starts with your first steps today, Weekly once you have a full day behind you, Monthly after about a week, and Yearly once you have steps from an earlier month.
No. Your goal only changes what you're aiming for from today onward — past days keep exactly the steps they always had. Change it as often as you like.
Free, and staying free.
