Step Tracker
Walking data, without the app fighting your battery.
Overview
A lightweight step and activity tracker focused on accurate background counting and minimal battery drain, with a clean weekly summary.
Problem
Many step-tracking apps drain battery quickly or bury the one number people actually check — today's step count — under promotional tiles and cross-sell banners.
Solution
We stripped the app down to a single-purpose home screen led by today's count, with everything else (history, goals, settings) one tap away rather than sharing the first screen.
Outcome
Delivered a fast, battery-conscious tracker that keeps its interface to a handful of screens without feeling incomplete.
Key features
Background step counting tuned for battery efficiency
Daily, weekly and monthly activity summaries
Distance, calorie and active-minutes estimates
Goal setting with gentle end-of-day nudges
Simple, single-purpose home screen with no clutter
Design process
A restrained, high-contrast UI with one large ring visualisation for daily progress and a muted secondary palette for supporting stats, so nothing competes with the primary number.
Development process
Built in Flutter using platform step-counting sensors with a low-frequency polling strategy and local SQLite storage, avoiding constant network calls to protect battery life.
