About Pawdometer: Corgi Step Pet
A pixel-art corgi who lives on your phone and gently nudges you to walk more, sleep better and stress less. WALK MORE Your steps feed your corgi. 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 treat and a bowl of water. 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, charged by last night's sleep, your heart rate variability and your resting heart rate. 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 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. A CORGI TO LOOK AFTER - Feed it, fill its water bowl, clean the yard, play fetch and give belly rubs. - Walkies: watch it trot along in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen. Walks from your Apple Watch, the Fitness app or other apps count too. - The walk home: every kilometre brings your corgi closer, with a postcard from each stop in its own words, painted by Image Playground on iPhones with Apple Intelligence. - Sunbathing: 20 minutes outdoors in daylight and your corgi lies in the sun. - Share your streak, badges and postcards as story pictures, and look back on your year together in December. ALWAYS WITH YOU - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: your corgi, its next treat, its battery and how calm you seem. - An Apple Watch app with Battery and Stress level pages and complications. - Made for iPhone Duo and iPad. - Gentle reminders, never more than two a day. 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. ONE PRICE, FOREVER Try everything free for 7 days. Then adopt your corgi with a single purchase: no subscription, no ads, shared with your family. Your health data stays on your device. Pawdometer is a game, not a medical device.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated October 11, 2026
• New: Calm. 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 you can breathe together for a minute. • Breathing sessions are saved to Health as mindful minutes, and they top up your corgi's battery. • A Calm widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and Calm complications for Apple Watch. • Battery and Stress level pages on Apple Watch, with a suggested bedtime for when your energy runs low. • A better-tuned battery: a typical night now lasts you to bedtime, walks and workouts count by the minute, and it holds steady overnight. • Made for iPhone Duo, on both screens.
