Built by someone who sits too long.

I write software for a living. A good day means a few uninterrupted hours, and the cost is a body that has not moved since breakfast.

I tried the usual stand reminders. Every one fired on a timer, buzzed while I was holding something complicated in my head, and used a sound I never picked. I turned them all off within a fortnight.

So Steps Widget works differently. Your iPhone learns your real activity pattern, so the nudge comes after you have actually been sitting. It asks you to walk rather than just stand up. And your step count is there to show you it happened, which is the part that makes it stick.
