Compatibility

This help center covers the current StepSprite iPhone experience.

Current platform support

• iPhone app: supported
• Apple Health sync: supported
• Minimum iPhone app target: iOS 17 or later
• Bluetooth: required for pairing, live status, and syncing

Best fit use cases

StepSprite is best when the motion is happening in your legs but not in your wrists.

• Under-desk walking pads
• Slow, steady desk walking while typing
• Pacing during calls
• Daily walking around the house or office

StepSprite is tuned for slow desk-walking pace, typically around 1–3 km/h or 60–100 steps per minute.

Apple Health expectations

• Apple Health access is optional.
• If you enable Health access, StepSprite writes steps by default.
• Distance, active calories, and workouts stay inside the app unless you turn those categories on.
• If you leave your iPhone on the desk, StepSprite still counts on-device and syncs later.

What is outside this knowledge base

This first version is intentionally iPhone-only.

• Android instructions are not part of this help center.
• The macOS companion is not covered here.
• Apple Watch setup is not required and is not the main StepSprite flow.

Physical and product limits

• StepSprite is splash-resistant, not waterproof.
• Use standard 5V USB-C power only.
• Battery percentage is an estimate, not a lab instrument.
• Step counting is never perfect. The goal is to be much better suited to desk walking than a wrist tracker.
