Frequently Asked Questions

StepLoom is a simple, privacy-friendly step counter and activity tracker. It counts your steps automatically in the background, helps you set and hit daily goals, and shows your progress with clean charts, widgets, and streaks.

StepLoom is free to use, supported by ads. A one-time premium purchase is available to remove ads and unlock extra features — it's a single payment, not a subscription.

No. StepLoom works right away with no sign-up required. Your step data stays on your device.

StepLoom uses your phone's built-in motion/step sensor to count steps automatically, even when the app is closed. There's nothing to start or stop manually.

No. Step counting relies entirely on your device's motion sensor, not GPS or location services, so StepLoom doesn't track where you are.

Yes. You can set any daily step goal that fits your lifestyle and change it at any time from the app's settings.

You'll get a celebration animation right in the app, plus an optional notification, so you always know when you've hit your target for the day.

Your streak grows on any day you reach your step goal. If you're behind on your goal, StepLoom sends you a reminder to help you keep your streak alive before the day ends. If you don't reach your goal, the streak resets.

Yes! StepLoom includes home screen widgets that show your daily step count and progress at a glance.

Yes. Your step history, goals, and streaks are stored locally on your device — we don't upload or store this data on our servers, and there's no account tied to it.

Yes, completely. Core step tracking, history, and goals all work without an internet connection. Only ads and optional crash/analytics reporting need connectivity.

You can wipe all of your locally stored data at any time from the app's settings, or simply uninstall the app to remove everything.

Yes. If you're in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, you can change your ad consent anytime from Settings → Ad Preferences. Elsewhere, you can reset your advertising ID from your device's own settings.

See our full Privacy Policy for details — in short: basic device/log data, an advertising ID for AdMob, anonymized usage analytics, and crash reports, none of which include your precise location.
