​
Step Count Card

The main card displays your current activity:
  • Step Count - Your total steps for the selected period
  • Distance - Walking and running distance in km or miles
  • Calories - Active energy burned
  • Flights Climbed - Floors climbed (daily view only)
A progress ring surrounds the card, filling up as you approach your daily goal. The ring color changes to your “completed” theme color once you hit your goal.

​
Streak Badge

Your current streak count appears in the top-left corner with a flame icon. Tap it to view your full streak details, heatmap, and badge progress.

​
Stepboard

Tap the trophy emoji (🏆) near the top of the Home Dashboard to open the Stepboard — the daily leaderboard where you compete with the wider Steps community or your private groups. From the Stepboard you can also reach World Stats for community-wide totals and your global rank.

​
Rest Day

Tap the 🧘 button in the top-right corner to mark today as a rest day, and tap again to remove it. Rest days pause your streak without breaking it. The button stays dimmed until the current day is marked as a rest day.
