Steps makes it easy to start tracking your daily steps, workouts, and fitness goals right from your iPhone.

## Onboarding

When you first open Steps, you’ll go through a quick setup to personalize your experience:

### Steps onboarding flow

1. **Set Your Daily Goal**  
   Choose a step goal between 1,000 and 20,000 steps using the scroll picker. You can always change this later in Settings.

2. **Grant Health Permissions**  
   Steps requests access to Apple Health to read your step count, distance, calories, flights climbed, and workout data. Tap **Allow All** for the best experience.

3. **Start Walking**  
   That’s it! Steps begins tracking automatically using your iPhone’s motion sensors and Apple Health data.

## HealthKit Permissions

Steps reads the following data from Apple Health:

- **Steps** - Your daily step count
- **Walking + Running Distance** - Distance covered on foot
- **Active Energy Burned** - Calories burned through activity
- **Flights Climbed** - Floors you’ve climbed
- **Heart Rate** - Used during workouts
- **Workout Routes** - GPS routes for your recorded workouts

Steps never writes to or modifies your Apple Health data. It only reads your existing activity information.

## Privacy

Your health data stays on your device. Steps does not upload your fitness data to any server. All processing happens locally on your iPhone.

## Re-syncing Health Data

If your step count looks incorrect or data appears missing, you can re-sync from Apple Health:

1. Open **Settings** in Steps  
2. Scroll to the Support section  
3. Tap **Re-sync Apple Health data**

This refreshes all your activity data from Apple Health.

## Restart Onboarding

To go through the setup flow again:

1. Open **Settings** in Steps  
2. Tap **Restart Onboarding**  
3. Confirm when prompted

This lets you reconfigure your daily goal and permissions.
