Turn every step into an adventure with a buddy who grows as you walk.
Pathlings is a cozy walking game. Your real daily steps become XP, quests, and Rubies for a tiny creature who evolves through five forms as you hit your goals.
CHOOSE YOUR PATHLING
Start with Sprout, the gentle nature-lover; Ember, the fiery bundle of enthusiasm; or Bubble, the silly, squishy one. Name them, then watch them grow from a hatchling into a legendary guardian. Later, welcome Thunder, the storm owl, and more Pathlings into your habitat.
WALK TO EVOLVE
Pathlings counts your steps from Apple Health and your iPhone's motion sensor, so progress shows up right away. Every step earns XP. Reach checkpoints on today's adventure, finish daily and weekly quests, and collect snacks and toys to feed and play with your buddy.
TAKE YOUR PATHLING FOR A STROLL
Start a walk and follow it live on your Lock Screen. Walk half your daily goal in one go to earn 50 bonus Rubies a day. Start walks from your Apple Watch or just ask Siri.
TRAIL RUNS
Hit your step goal to earn Trail Run tickets, then dash 1,000 meters down your Pathling's trail: swipe to switch lanes, jump over obstacles, and collect every Ruby you can.
RACE YOUR FRIENDS IN PATHLEAGUE
Join a weekly step race with your Game Center friends. See everyone's Pathlings and streaks, win Ruby prizes when the week ends, and earn 100 Rubies for every friend you bring along.
MAKE IT HOME
Spend Rubies in the Ruby Store on decorations and new habitats, protect your streak with Rest Day Shields, and open room for another Pathling.
STREAKS AND RECAPS
Keep your streak alive day after day, unlock badges, and get a recap of your week every Monday with a nudge toward a goal that fits.
REST DAY SHIELDS
Taking a rest day? No problem -- Rest Day Shields let you take a day off without losing your streak.
ALWAYS WITH YOU
Check on your buddy from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, feed and play right from the widget, and see your goal and PathLeague race on your Apple Watch.
YOUR GOAL, YOUR PACE
Choose a daily goal that feels gentle, balanced, or ambitious, and change it any time.
Pathlings is free to play with optional Ruby packs. No ads, no subscriptions, and no account needed. Your step data stays on your device unless you choose to join PathLeague.
Hi, I was really inspired by this app to maintain a healthy routine. The starter pets are super cute and you can gain extra XP by feeding playing in addition to walking! I love the world-building and would highly recommend. I’ve improved my step count by 2000 steps just by downloading this app :)
Fun way to track my steps

Very motivating

Loved using the app! Seeing my Pathling grow has been really exciting. I think its a very cool way to reward yourself for the amount you walk on the daily.
