I do a lot of walking for bird watching & photography, and at some point I thought... this would be way more fun if it actually gave you something back.

So I built a small app where your daily steps turn into random rewards (coins + collectible items).

Basic loop:

  • Walk → hit your goal
  • Unlock a “mystery drop”
  • Get random items (junk → celestial)
  • Build a collection over time

It’s basically turning walking into a light reward system tied to real movement, it also connects with apple health / health connect on android

I genuinely can’t tell if this is:
actually motivating… or just a gimmick, i've been using it for a few weeks myself, iterating and its just been nice to end off a day with a quick use of the app to see what I unlocked

Curious what people think:

  • Would this make walking more appealing to you?
  • Or would it wear off after a few days?
  • What would make it worth sticking with?

I added some screenshots, keen for honest thoughts (good or bad).

If this doesn’t appeal to you at all, I’d especially like to know why :D
