Strides · Step tracker
Every step, your own.
Strides counts your steps, gives you a daily walking plan that grows with you, keeps your water on track and tells you the nicest time to head out.
Features
What Strides does
Steps that just work
Reads Health Connect (phone, watch or other apps) or your phone's own step sensor. Distance, calories and floors too.
A plan that adapts
Pick your goal and fitness level. Strides builds a 7-day walking plan on your phone and adjusts it to what you really walk.
Day, week, month
Clear charts with your goal line, weekly and monthly totals, averages and your best day.
Water, visually
A bottle that fills as you drink, quick-add amounts and gentle reminders only until you hit your goal.
Best time to walk
The mildest, driest daylight hour, with golden hour marked. Optional, and only your rough area is used.
Private by design
No sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Share progress cards when you want to, erase everything anytime.

FAQ
Questions about Strides
Is Strides free?
Yes. Strides is completely free, with no ads, no subscription and no in-app purchases.
Does Strides need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Your steps, water log and settings stay on your phone.
Where do my steps come from?
Strides reads steps, distance, calories and floors from Health Connect, which collects them from your phone, watch or other fitness apps. Without Health Connect it uses your phone's built-in step sensor.
Does Strides drain the battery?
No. Step counting is done by the phone's low-power sensor or Health Connect. Strides only reads the totals every few minutes.
Why does Strides ask for location?
Only if you turn on the best-time-to-walk card. It uses your approximate area, rounded to about 10 km, to fetch the forecast from Open-Meteo. It is optional.
Is Strides open source?
Yes. The app is open source under the GPL-3.0 license.
