WALKn: Step Counter and RPG

Your steps build a shoe. Walk, earn crates, and climb a board of real walkers.

WALKn is a free step counter with a game on top.

Every step you take goes into a real piece of gear on your feet — a shoe that levels up, earns stats, wears down, and slowly becomes unmistakably yours. Socket a charm. Craft the laces you want. Repair it, upgrade it, and show it off on the leaderboard. Everyone starts in a plain pair. What yours turns into is entirely down to how far you walk.

It's a proper step counter and walking app — accurate, quiet, and free. It just wraps a game around your daily steps, so you actually keep opening it.


FAIR BY DEFAULT
• Free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall — there is nothing to buy
• No forced ads. Every ad is one you chose to watch
• No background location tracking. WALKn never asks for it
• Every alert is yours to switch off, by kind — except update deadlines
• Sign in with Google to back up your progress — a new phone picks up exactly where you left off


ON YOUR WRIST
Wear OS tiles put your rank, your crates and your shoe a swipe from the watch face — and they keep updating even when your phone stays in your pocket.


TRACK EVERY STEP
• An accurate pedometer and step counter that runs quietly in the background — no need to keep the app open
• A simple activity tracker for everyday walking and exercise — no gym, no wearable
• An ongoing notification shows your live steps and distance while tracking is active
• Distance, calories burned and daily steps at a glance — in miles or kilometers
• A calorie estimate that gets more personal with every detail you add — and works fine before you add any
• Your full walking and fitness history, a 7-day trend chart, and personal records
• Tap any day to see what you walked


DAILY GOALS THAT ADAPT TO YOU
• A starting goal based on your real activity, not a flat 10,000 nobody hits
• Your goal grows as you do — WALKn notices when yours has become too easy and offers to raise it
• Build a streak, climb the tiers from Spark to Eternal MAX, and earn more for every day you keep it alive
• A grace window for your first week, so an early miss pauses your streak instead of ending it


A SHOE THAT'S ACTUALLY YOURS
• Level up your shoe as you walk and push its stats past their limits
• Stats that genuinely change how you earn — Durability, Earning, Luck and Experience Gain
• Socket charms and swap laces to build the shoe around how you actually walk
• Shoes wear down with real distance — keep yours repaired or watch your earnings fall
• Craft shoes, laces and charms in the Tailor — pick the rarity, the look and the stat that rolls high — then upgrade them with Rarity Gems
• Collect 128 colors per item type, plus materials and finishes — suede, chrome, holographic and more


EARN AS YOU GO
• Foot Prints for every verified step, spent on crafting, repairs, level-ups and unlocks
• Crates drop while you walk, from Common all the way to Legendary
• Boost Passes: watch an ad and earn faster for your next few thousand steps
• Your first crate is guaranteed early on — no waiting on a lucky drop
• Open them for materials, blueprints, gems, keys and repair kits
• Hundreds of achievements, from your first mile to the Moon — follow the Trail


COMPETE, IF YOU WANT TO
• Daily, weekly and monthly step leaderboards with Key and Foot Print rewards
• A separate streak board for the most stubborn walkers
• Pin your proudest achievements to a player card and let other walkers tap through to see your gear
• Share your card or a new achievement as an image
• Invite a walker — you both earn a reward when they walk their first thousand


REAL STEPS ONLY
This is the part we care about most. Most pedometers count any shake. WALKn checks how you're actually moving — your walking rhythm and your real displacement — so shaking your phone, driving, or leaving it on the dog doesn't earn you anything. Everyone on the leaderboard walked for it.


Lace up. Your first mile is waiting.

Recent changes:
Improved:
- Your steps now count toward distance indoors and at work too, not only on GPS walks
- Each step counts as a stride based on your height and pace, so a slow shuffle is a shorter step than a brisk walk
- Outdoors, GPS still measures your walk and the longer of the two counts, never both
- More distance means more Foot Prints and shoe XP, and your shoe wears at the same pace
- Without location, WALKn now says distance is estimated from your steps, not that nothing is earned
