Tempolo for iPhone

Know before the day is over.

Tempolo tells you, before the day ends, what to do right now to hit your step goal. Not a step counter. A step pace coach.

Other apps report. Tempolo coaches.

At night, a step counter tells you that you took 8,400 steps. There is nothing left to do with that. Tempolo speaks in the afternoon, while a short walk still fixes the day.

It tells you what to do, not a number

Being behind is not useful information. "A 10-minute walk is enough" is. Every message is an action you can take right now, sized to the gap and the time you have left.

It learns your rhythm

Nobody walks the same amount every hour. Tempolo starts from a realistic day and then learns yours, weekdays and weekends separately, so "behind" means behind for you.

It lives where you glance

Home Screen widgets, a Lock Screen row and Live Activities in the Dynamic Island. Every surface shows when it was last read, so you are never fooled by a stale number.

One day with Tempolo

A 10,000-step goal, awake from 07:00 to 23:00. The numbers below come from the same engine that runs in the app.

11:00On track

2,106 steps, expected 1,956. You are where you should be. The screen stays gray, there is no notification, and nothing is asked of you.

17:00Slightly behind

"A 10-minute walk is enough." One nudge, phrased as an action, sent while it still matters. Not "1,100 steps behind", and not at 23:00.

21:00Done

Goal done. The rest is bonus. Green arrives only now, when it is earned. Tempolo goes quiet for the rest of the day.

And on a day that cannot be saved? Tempolo does not nag. It lowers the goal to something you can still reach: "6,500 is more realistic today, go get it". At most two notifications a day. None on a good day. Silence once the goal is met.

Your day is not a straight line

A counter that spreads 10,000 steps evenly across the day calls you "behind" at 11:00, every day, no matter what. Tempolo expects the commute, the lunch break, the walk home and the evening stroll. After a few days it learns your own pattern, weekdays and weekends apart, all of it on your iPhone.

Tested against months of real step data, it says "behind" far less often than a straight line would, and only when it is true.

On your Home Screen, Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island

The widget is Tempolo's real face. You check it the way you check the time.

Lock Screen

Live Activities

Widgets

Small, medium and a Lock Screen row. The small one shows the number in context: your steps, what was expected by now, and the shape of the day so far.

Honest time

iOS decides how often a widget may refresh, so every Tempolo widget shows when it was last read. Tap that line and it refreshes right away, without opening the app.

Live Activities

From the afternoon on, your pace and the next action live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on iPhone. It ends with a quiet check when the goal is met.

Color

Green is a reward. Most of the day the interface is calm and gray; it turns green when you are ahead or done, and only then.

No server. No account. Your steps never leave your iPhone.

Tempolo reads your step count from the Health app and the motion sensor, does its math on the device and keeps everything there. There is no sign-in, no cloud, no analytics SDK and no advertising. Deleting the app deletes the data.

Tempolo is made by one independent developer. There are no investors and no data business behind it, just an app that tries to get you out of the chair at the right hour. If something feels off, write to support@tempolo.app.

Questions

Is Tempolo a step counter?

No. Your iPhone already counts steps. Tempolo reads that count and answers a different question: given your goal and the time left today, what should you do right now? It spreads the goal across the day the way you actually walk and tells you when a short walk would fix things.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Tempolo needs an iPhone with a motion sensor, which every recent iPhone has. If you wear an Apple Watch, its steps arrive through the Health app and count too.

Why at most two notifications a day?

Because a notification is only useful while there is still time to act. Tempolo speaks in the afternoon and evening, only when you are behind and the day can still be saved. On a good day it stays silent, and once the goal is met it stops for the day.

What does the color mean?

Gray means the day is going as expected. Amber means a short walk would help. Green means you are ahead or done. Color is a reward, not a warning, which is why you see so little of it.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. There is no server and no account. Steps are read on your iPhone, processed there and stored there. The privacy policy spells it out.

Is this medical advice?

No. Tempolo is a motivational tool, not a medical device. Step counts come from your device's sensors and can be inaccurate. Talk to a professional about health decisions.

When is it out, and is there an Android version?

Tempolo is in the final stretch before its App Store release; this page will show the download link the day it is live. There is no Android version planned right now.
