Pawdometer

A pixel corgi that nudges you to walk more, sleep better and stress less.

A corgi that looks after you, too

Pawdometer is a pixel-art corgi that lives on your phone. Your steps feed it, your sleep charges its battery, and it notices when you're having a tense day. It reads all of this from Apple Health on your device, and gives you a small, friendly reason to look after yourself.

Walk more

The steps you already take, on your iPhone, your Apple Watch or any app that writes to Health, turn into treats. The first treat of the day arrives at 1,500 steps and more follow as you keep moving, up to five a day; close your Activity rings for a bonus. Hit your daily goal to grow a streak, with rest-day shields so one quiet day never erases weeks of effort, and your corgi suggests a harder or easier goal when your last four weeks say it's time.

Sleep better

Wear your Apple Watch to bed and your corgi's energy becomes your own battery. Last night's sleep, your heart rate variability and your resting heart rate set the morning's charge; it runs down through the day and suggests a bedtime for when your energy runs low. Tap the bar to see exactly what charged it.

Stress less

Your corgi reads your Apple Watch's daytime heart readings against your own normal and notices a tense day. It comes and sits with you, and invites you to breathe together for a minute; the minutes are saved to Health as mindful minutes and top up the battery. It's a gentle guide, not a medical measurement.

And a corgi to look after

🦴 Care
Feed it, fill its water bowl, clean the yard, play fetch and give belly rubs. It naps at night and is always one glance away.

🐕 Walkies
Take your corgi for a walk and watch it trot along in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen, with live steps and treats. Walks from your Apple Watch, the Fitness app or other apps count too.

🗺️ The walk home
Every kilometre brings your corgi closer to home, with a postcard from each stop in its own words, painted by Image Playground on iPhones with Apple Intelligence.

☀️ Sunbathing
Spend 20 minutes outdoors in daylight and your corgi lies in the sun.

🎨 Make it yours
Earn pawnies by walking and spend them on outfits and new yards: a beach, a rooftop, Roman baths, a castle.

📸 Share
Your streak, badges and postcards as story-sized pictures, and in December a look back at your year together.

Always with you

📱 Widgets
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your corgi, its next treat, its battery and how calm you seem. Feed it without opening the app.

⌚ Apple Watch
A watch app with Battery and Stress level pages and a set of complications, so its happy (or sleepy) face is on your wrist.

📖 iPhone Duo and iPad
Made for both of iPhone Duo's screens, and for iPad.

Kind by design

Your corgi never dies and is never punished. On a quiet day it gets a little hungry and a little sad, and bounces back the moment you walk. A short night makes it tired, never sad, and a tense day brings it over to sit with you. Reminders are gentle, and never more than two a day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free?

You can try everything free for 7 days. After that you adopt your corgi with a single one-time purchase — no subscription and no ads — and Family Sharing is on.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Your iPhone counts your steps on its own. The battery and the stress level need an Apple Watch, because only the watch measures sleep stages and heart rate variability; without one, your corgi's energy follows a simple bedtime instead.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing bad. Your corgi gets a little hungry, and a rest-day shield can protect your streak. Walk again and it is happy again.

Where does my step data go?

Nowhere. Pawdometer reads your steps, workouts, sleep and heart readings from Health on your device and never sends them to us or anyone else. It writes only your walks (as walking workouts) and breathing sessions (as mindful minutes) back to Health.

Is it a medical app?

No. Pawdometer is a game. The battery and the stress level are friendly nudges compared with your own usual, not medical measurements, and your corgi never gets sadder when you're tired or stressed.

What languages does it speak?

English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.
