Plod – step tracker

There's a hamster on your phone.

Walk during the week and they stay alive. Miss your weekly step goal and they don't make it to Monday — a small tombstone slides into the meadow on the hillside, and a new hamster shows up. Different name. Different voice. They've read the situation.

They have a lot to say about your week.

500+ hand-written dialogue lines — tender, wry, occasionally existential, briefly self-aware about being in an app.

Six personality archetypes (anxious, chill, peppy, dramatic, shy, steady), randomly assigned. Each one talks and reacts differently.

A home-screen widget that keeps your hamster present without demanding attention. Glance, see the number, read their thought of the moment, close.

A graveyard. Each hamster gets a tombstone with their name and the week they were here. It builds over time.

A safety net. Every new player gets one cheek-pouch save — a one-time forgiveness for the first missed week. After that, every week counts.

A daily step goal you set yourself, 2,000 to 20,000. The weekly target is seven of those.

This isn't a fitness app that moralizes. The hamster doesn't blame you. They lament, bargain, occasionally panic, but mostly keep you quiet company while you walk.

Step data stays on your device. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No in-app purchases. The hamster is the whole experience.
