Lord of the Steps

Every step you take is a step through Middle-earth.

Lord of the Steps is a fantasy pedometer that turns your daily walking into an epic 2,350 km journey: from a cozy hole in the Shire all the way to the fires of Mount Doom.

HOW IT WORKS

The app counts your real steps via HealthKit or your phone's built-in pedometer. Every kilometer you walk advances you along a route through 18 iconic locations: Bree, Rivendell, Moria, Lothlórien, Helm's
Deep, and more.

The landscape around you changes — 36 unique zones with scenic backgrounds reflect your real progress. You literally see the world transform with every step.

FEATURES

  • Step counter with auto-sync — counts steps in the background, even when the app is closed
  • 18 route milestones — from Hobbiton to Mount Doom
  • 36 landscape zones — the app background changes as you progress
  • Groups — create parties with friends and track everyone's progress
  • Challenges — compete with friends: who walks the most in a week, who hits the step or distance goal first
  • Home screen widget — steps, kilometers, and route progress right on your home screen
  • Achievement notifications — know when you reach a new milestone or enter a new zone
  • Statistics — step charts for the week, month, and all time
  • Reminders — customizable nudges if you haven't walked in a while

WHY LORD OF THE STEPS

Unlike regular pedometers, we give your steps meaning. These aren't just numbers — it's a journey you want to follow.

Group challenges add a competitive edge: invite friends via link and find out who walks the most.

The home screen widget shows your progress without opening the app — you always know where you are on the route.

PRIVACY
