I’ve been working on a new feature for Stepzy called AI Coach, and it’s finally ready.

The idea is simple: instead of just showing you numbers after a workout, Stepzy actually helps you understand them.

AI Coach can:

• Give you personalized feedback after every workout
• Explain what stood out in your pace, heart rate, zones, duration, and recent performance
• Suggest what to focus on next time
• Coach you based on your entire day
• Let you chat directly with your workout data and ask follow-up questions

The part I’m most excited about is privacy.

AI Coach runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence.

No workout data is uploaded.
No AI API calls.
No account required for the AI.
It even works without internet / in airplane mode.

Your health data stays on your device.

I also redesigned Stepzy’s main experience to make much better use of the full screen, so there’s now a lot more useful information without making the app feel like a spreadsheet.

🎁 1 Year of Stepzy Pro

>To celebrate the launch, I’m giving away 1 year of Stepzy Pro for free.

>If you’d like to try it, comment below, I will share code in DM!

I’d genuinely love feedback, especially criticism. Stepzy is still evolving and a lot of the best improvements have come from people pointing out things I completely overlooked.

AI Coach requires iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.

Thanks for checking it out ❤️

Should Your Step Goal Be Different on Weekends?

Interesting read: https://getstepzy.com/blog/weekday-vs-weekend-step-goal

I’m the solo founder of Stepzy, an iPhone + Apple Watch activity app.

The marketing problem: “step counter” is clear, but it makes the app sound interchangeable with dozens of utilities. For Stepzy 2.0 I’m testing a more emotional position: help people look back on the story of their movement, not just today’s number.

The product now supports that with:

- a shareable yearly Boarding Pass

- activity patterns and workout personality

- cinematic 3D route flyovers

- richer workout details and heart-rate zones

- polished share cards, awards, themes, and widgets

The App Store listing still needs the practical keywords, but the campaign creative leads with “Your year, told right.”

I’m also running a small Reddit giveaway for 20 one-year Pro memberships to get real feedback on the new positioning and share experience:

https://www.reddit.com/r/StepzyApp/comments/1uz3e4q/stepzy_20_is_live_giving_away_1_year_of_pro_to/

For other iOS founders: would you lead with the emotional “movement story” angle, or keep “step counter” first and use the Boarding Pass as the hook?

Been heads down on this one for a while and it's finally close enough to talk about.

The short version: your yearly stats are getting a full redesign. Instead of a plain summary, your year comes together as a Boarding Pass, total workouts, time, distance, calories, January to December, plus your workout personality (Outdoor Explorer or Weekend Warrior, curious which one most of you get).

The other big one: 3D route flyovers. You'll be able to watch your walk or run play back as a cinematic flyover over real terrain and buildings, not just a flat line on a map. Pinch to zoom, adjust playback speed, live stats as it plays.

Also in this update:

- Redesigned Home with an hourly activity timeline (see exactly when you were moving)

- Heart rate zone breakdown on every workout

- 12 new Awards to unlock

- New share cards that actually look good when you post them

- A widget fix for the steps-showing-zero bug some of you flagged (thank you for the reports, this one's been annoying)

>Update drops this week. To celebrate, I'll be giving away 20 codes for a full year of Stepzy Pro once it's live. Details and how to enter go up in a follow-up post the moment the update ships

If there's one thing from this list you're most excited about, drop it below, genuinely helps me figure out what to lean into next.

Got this random warning at 620 miles after 2 days of driving. Spent a few minutes worried something was wrong since the car is brand new.

Texted Hyundai support and they nailed it immediately. Apparently the Calligraphy trim has a driver monitoring camera (not just steering torque sensors like lower trims) that watches your hand position. If you drive with one hand at the top of the wheel like I do, your arm actually blocks the camera lens.

The car interprets this as you deliberately covering the camera and throws the Driver Assistance warning.

Fix: just keep both hands at 9 and 3 position. Warning disappeared immediately.

Confirmed via vehicle health report too, zero actual faults. Pure user behavior issue, not a car problem.

Posting this in case anyone else gets spooked by this warning early on. The Calligraphy's monitoring system is more advanced than I realized, kind of cool once you understand it's working as designed!

VIN built March 2026, 620 miles in, loving the car so far.

Just picked up my 2026 Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid AWD yesterday and wanted to share an update on the power seat recall for anyone waiting or concerned.

Dealer confirmed two phases for the fix:

Phase 1 (already done): Software update applied before delivery. Currently the tailgate needs to be open to fold 3rd row and press-and-hold is required for seat switches. Minor inconvenience but totally livable.

Phase 2 (coming ~1 month): Hyundai is sending actual hardware fix to all dealers. Once parts arrive they’ll call you to bring it in, free of charge, takes 1-2 hours.

For anyone who was waiting on the recall to buy, the software fix makes it completely safe to drive right now and the permanent hardware solution is right around the corner.
Drove 100+ miles in first 2 days, getting 36 MPG real world. Suspension is buttery smooth. Brown Nappa interior is gorgeous. No regrets whatsoever.
Happy to answer any questions! 🤍

I recently built Stepzy, a simple and modern step tracker for iPhone. The goal was to make something that feels clean, motivating, and easy to use without being overloaded with unnecessary features.

Stepzy helps you track your daily steps, view trends, build streaks, and understand your activity in a more visual way. It also syncs with Apple Health, so your steps and workouts stay connected in one place.

Some things Stepzy includes:

• Daily step tracking with progress goals
• Weekly, monthly, and yearly insights
• Streaks and awards to keep you motivated
• Workout insights like calories, distance, heart rate, and zones
• Apple Health sync
• Privacy-focused design, your data stays on your device
• Built specifically for iPhone

I wanted the app to feel like a lightweight fitness companion, not another complicated health dashboard. It is made for people who just want to walk more, stay consistent, and understand their progress clearly.
