Stepwise Improvements

Stay Active, Stay Healthy


Take a 5-minute walk every hour to boost your fitness and well-being.


This app is designed for people how work sitting down most of the day. It will help them improve their health by getting to do a 5 minute, 2mph walk, every hour during their work day.

It will remind them, but won’t nag them. It will leverage Apple’s HealthKit to capture the data, providing the user with a safe, private, secure tracking mechanism.

For those who wish to keep track of their progress, intents will submit reminders into the Apple Journal App for capturing their feelings and more.

Coming soon!

Michael Rowe is an independent app developer building software on his own terms. I have experience shipping apps from idea to release, and focus on simple, useful software that people can rely on. I focus on no subscriptions, and user privacy, no ads, no tracking, just simple, functional software. Other apps I’ve released include Wasted Time (to track the cost of getting meetings started), Vinyl Tracker (for the vinyl collector), Greeting Tracker (Never send the same card twice), and Quick Localizer (automated XCStrings translator). Michael’s latest app is Stepwise Improvements, which will be released on August 1, 2026.
