The app

Simple Walker is written in Swift and uses only Apple's own frameworks: SwiftUI, HealthKit, Core Motion, Swift Charts and User Notifications. It includes no third-party code, no analytics and no advertising libraries.

The walker

The hand-drawn walker, its poses and the app icon were made for Simple Walker.

The research

Fast walking at about 100 steps a minute follows the CADENCE-Adults research by Tudor-Locke and colleagues. The 150 minutes a week follows the CDC's Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

This website
