iPhone
A virtual pet that only stays alive if you walk. Your iPhone counts the steps. Your pet does the rest. Inspired by 90s pixel pets, built for the step-counter era.
Walk daily. Or it dies.
Walkmon is a virtual pet that lives on your steps. Every 1,500 steps you walk becomes food. Food keeps it fed. Walking keeps it alive. Stop walking, and you'll watch it slowly stop.
Part virtual pet game, part fitness companion, part activity tracker. A Tamagotchi for the step-counter era. A reason to take the long way home. A pet that notices when you sat on the couch all weekend.
What you'll do every day:
• Walk - your iPhone counts the steps, you don't have to open anything
• Feed it - turn banked steps into meals
• Play with it - short cooldowns, not endless tapping
• Clean up after it - sedentary days create messes
• Watch it grow - eggs hatch, hatchlings evolve into Active or Chill adults based on how you walked
• Lose it eventually - pets die from neglect, or live to old age
It's not a streak app. It's not a pedometer pretending to be cute. It's a small living thing that depends on you for real reasons.
How it works:
Walkmon reads your steps from Apple Health (HealthKit). 1,500 steps = 1 food item, capped at 20. Pets have hunger, happiness, health, energy, and weight, all decaying in real time even when the app is closed. A single skipped walk is survivable. A skipped week isn't.
Notifications are rare and meaningful. No daily nag. No shame streaks. No paid revives.
Open the app. Hatch a Walkmon. Don't let it die.
