Plod – step tracker

There's a hamster on your phone. She counts your steps — that's her whole job, and she takes it seriously. You set a weekly goal. Walk enough and she stays trim. Fall behind and she rounds out. Miss the week entirely: she dies. There's a funeral. There's a tombstone with her name on it. It stays. The next hamster arrives, sees the graves, and carries on — hamsters are like that. — Every hamster is one of a kind — coat, markings, personality. Patches, spots, freckles, the occasional little heart. She talks. Hundreds and hundreds of hand-written lines — about your pace, the graves on the hill, the strange fact of being a hamster in a phone. Her eyes work. She follows your finger when you poke her, notices birds, fights off sleep on long days. Poke her and she squeaks. Widgets, small to large, so she can judge you gently from the home screen. Notifications are one dial — silent to daily companion. Quiet at night, quieter on won weeks, loud only when a Sunday needs you. Your first week is pro-rated and safe. If life happens, she can nap in her burrow — no guilt, no graves. — Steps come from Apple Health and stay on your phone. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases. Free. She would like to see what a full week looks like. Take her with you.
