## 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](/features/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](/features/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](/features/streaks) without breaking it. The button stays dimmed until the current day is marked as a rest day.

## Motivational Messages

You can choose what appears below your step count in **Settings > Home insight**:

* **Message** - A motivational quote or encouragement
* **Average** - How your steps compare to your daily average
* **Yearly Goal** - Your progress toward your [yearly step goal](/features/yearly-goal)
* **Off** - Show nothing extra

<Tip>Tap the insight below your step count to quickly cycle through these modes without opening Settings.</Tip>
