A step counter app that actually motivates.
Global Steps is the step counter app that turns a plain number into a live competition. Steps auto-sync from Apple Health, then rank instantly on rolling 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day global leaderboards.
A pure step counter app shows you a number. That's it. Global Steps takes the same number — auto-counted by iPhone and Apple Watch — and puts it on a worldwide scoreboard so every walk has stakes. Same steps. Way more reason to take them.

FAQ
Yes. Global Steps reads your step count from Apple Health automatically and shows your daily total, weekly total, and 30-day total — and ranks each against a live global leaderboard.
No. Global Steps doesn't run its own pedometer in the background. It reads counts that iPhone already captures via HealthKit, so battery impact is negligible.
Step counts come straight from Apple Health, which uses iPhone's motion coprocessor and your Apple Watch if you wear one — so the accuracy matches Apple's own Health app.
No. Walk normally with your iPhone in your pocket or with Apple Watch on. Global Steps will sync the latest counts automatically the next time you open it.
