What it does
It’s a minimalist step counter that captures your insights without breaking your stride. What is inside: - Essential steps: Monitor your daily steps and long-term trends with zero noise or pressure. - Capture insights: Record thoughts via voice or text on the go - Tag sparks: See exactly when your mind was most active on the graph. - Pick your style: Choose a character that reflects you, not a generic avatar. - Privacy first: Your data stays in your private Apple ecosystem. That's the app.
A step counter with clarity — not pressure. Capture thoughts on the go, by voice or text. See your movement and ideas come together, privately on your device. Sync effortlessly with Apple Health from your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Steps: Workout & PedometerMar 2026 · getsteps.app · ▲98Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening.

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
