Getting Started
Set up Walkeon and start your walking journey in minutes.
Download Walkeon
Walkeon is available on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 17+).
Walkeon uses Apple HealthKit to track your steps automatically. Make sure you have an iPhone with Health app enabled.
First Launch
When you open Walkeon for the first time, you'll meet Walke — your personal walking coach (he's a penguin, and yes, he's adorable).
Walke will guide you through a quick setup:
- Choose your goal — lose weight, get healthier, build a walking habit, or improve your mood
- Enter your details — age, height, weight, and target weight
- Pick your pace — relaxed, steady, or ambitious
- See your plan — Walke calculates your predicted goal date based on your data
- Allow permissions — HealthKit access so Walkeon can count your steps
Your Daily Goal
Walkeon sets a personalized daily step goal based on your activity level. This isn't a random number — it's calculated to help you reach your target weight at the pace you chose.
| Activity Level | Starting Goal |
|---|---|
| Sedentary | ~6,500 steps |
| Lightly active | ~8,000 steps |
| Moderate | ~9,500 steps |
| Active | ~11,500 steps |
Understanding the Home Screen
Your Home screen shows everything you need at a glance:
- Streak flame (top left) — your consecutive days count. Keep it burning!
- Step bars — visual progress for the past days and today
- Progress bar — how close you are to today's goal
- Walke's message — encouragement from your penguin coach
Your streak resets if you miss a day without a Streak Freeze. Check the Streaks guide to learn how to protect it.
