About Stepplio

I built Stepplio because my phone thought I was walking. 

A step counter and activity tracker that starts on its own, stops when you stop, tells you what to do next, and makes walking with your friends feel like a game you don't want to lose.

The story

It started with a walk.

  1. 01

    We wanted to lose weight.

    My friend and I were going to the gym and walking together, trying to lose weight the honest way: show up, move, repeat.

  2. 02

    But I kept starting over.

    I have tried to lose weight many times, and it always ended the same way. I couldn't stay consistent with walking or training, and I never really knew what to do. How many carbs should I eat? How hard should I push? Was today's walk enough? Without clear answers, it was easy to quit.

    Strava was great. Almost.

    A friend told us to try Strava, and we liked it. But nothing counted automatically, and the GPS kept counting while I was sitting in the same place. My walks said I was moving when I wasn't.

    Samsung Health got the idea right.

    Press walk and it starts. Stop moving and the timer stops by itself. Start walking again and it carries on. That is exactly how a tracker should behave.

    I wanted the Duolingo effect.

    Duolingo gets you back every day because your streak is on the line and your friends are watching. I wanted that for walking: share streaks with friends, even gift one, get a nudge when a friend reaches their step goal, and share your route and the places you visited when you feel like it.

    So I built Stepplio.

    It counts your steps all day, starts activities for you, ignores fake movement, and coaches you on what to do and how hard to push, so you stop guessing. And you do it together with your friends.

The difference

Sitting down shouldn’t count as exercise.

GPS drifts even when you don’t move, so many trackers keep the clock running and log a walk that never happened. Stepplio watches your actual movement, so the timer pauses when you stop and continues when you walk.

Press start, then switch to “Sitting still”. One timer keeps running. The other one knows better.

Friends

Your friends are the best reminder.

Duolingo never lets you forget, because a streak and a few friends are counting on you. Stepplio brings that feeling to walking, so you get a nudge exactly when you need one.

  • Share a streak

    Keep a streak alive together, or gift one to a friend who needs it.

  • Friend goal alerts

    Get a nudge the moment a friend reaches their step goal for the day.

  • Share the route

    Send the map of your walk and the places you visited, only when you choose to.

  • Streak reminders

    A heads up when your streak is about to end, while there is still time to save it.

What Stepplio does

Four things, done properly.

Steps & map

Automatic step and map tracking

Your steps are counted all day, like Samsung Health, and your route appears on the map by itself.

  • Daily steps without opening the app
  • Your route drawn on the map automatically
