Why look at my steps and health numbers on one chart?

Short answer: Seeing steps beside your own numbers can make it easier to notice patterns and to talk with your doctor. PrivateSteps has a Compare screen that draws steps, weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure and water as lines on one chart. It shows them and does not judge them.

Why one chart helps

Numbers kept in separate places are hard to read together. On one chart you can look back at a month and see your walking and your logged numbers in the same picture.

That picture can help you remember what your weeks were like when you sit down with your doctor or care team. They are the ones to tell you what it means for you.

How the Compare screen works

You log the numbers in the app first. See blood sugar, blood pressure, weight and cholesterol.

No judging, no advice

PrivateSteps only records and draws your numbers. It does not score them, call them good or bad, or tell you what to do. It is not a medical device.

Please talk with your own doctor or care team about your numbers and your targets.

Private by design

Your steps and your logs stay on your phone. There is no account, no ads, no analytics, no cloud and no sharing. The app has no internet access of its own, so it works the same in airplane mode. Read our privacy page for the full picture.

Getting started

Count your steps as usual, then add whichever numbers you choose to keep: weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol or water. You do not need all of them. Each one is optional, and you can start with just one.

PrivateSteps is free to start, and the store listing shows current pricing. If you want a simple step count first, see our private step counter guide.
