About Lord of the Steps

Every step you take is a step through Middle-earth.

Lord of the Steps is a fantasy pedometer that turns your daily walking into an epic 2,350 km journey: from a cozy hole in the Shire all the way to the fires of Mount Doom.

HOW IT WORKS

The app counts your real steps via Health Connect or your phone's built-in pedometer. Every kilometer you walk advances you along a route through 18 iconic locations: Bree, Rivendell, Moria, Lothlórien, Helm's Deep, and more.

The landscape around you changes — 36 unique zones with scenic backgrounds reflect your real progress. You literally see the world transform with every step.

FEATURES

• Step counter with auto-sync — counts steps in the background, even when the app is closed
• 18 route milestones — from Hobbiton to Mount Doom
• 36 landscape zones — the app background changes as you progress
• Groups — create parties with friends and track everyone's progress
• Challenges — compete with friends: who walks the most in a week, who hits the step or distance goal first
• Home screen widget — steps, kilometers, and route progress right on your home screen
• Achievement notifications — know when you reach a new milestone or enter a new zone
• Statistics — step charts for the week, month, and all time
• Reminders — customizable nudges if you haven't walked in a while

WHY LORD OF THE STEPS

Unlike regular pedometers, we give your steps meaning. These aren't just numbers — it's a journey you want to follow.

Group challenges add a competitive edge: invite friends via link and find out who walks the most.

The home screen widget shows your progress without opening the app — you always know where you are on the route.

PRIVACY

We don't collect your location data. The app only counts steps. No ads. No ad trackers.

Start your journey today — Middle-earth awaits!

They're aware of steps not all counting due to how the apps communicate and acknowledged it, so that's good enough for me. the app itself is very cool. Hopefully that can get sorted one day to count all steps from Samsung Health.

you need to download the health connect app on android for this to work.
