Outside

Coming soon to iPhone

Your step counter for time outside.

Outside turns the daylight your Apple Watch already tracks into one clear number, one daily goal and a streak that cheers you on. No timers, no logging, no pressure.

One email when Outside launches. Nothing else. Privacy

How it works

Open it, glance, go outside.

  1. Wear your Watch

    Apple Watch records Time in Daylight automatically. Outside reads it from Apple Health, so there is nothing to start or stop.

  2. See your day

    Today shows your minutes against a goal you choose, on the app and on your Home Screen widget.

  3. Keep a gentle streak

    Reach your goal, grow your sprout and collect milestones. An optional daily nudge only speaks up if your goal is still ahead.

A look inside

Calm, glanceable, a little bit analog.

Private by default

Your health data stays on your iPhone.

Outside reads one thing from Apple Health, Time in Daylight, and never writes anything back.

  • No account or sign-in
  • No location access
  • No ads, no feeds, no leaderboards
  • Anonymous usage stats you can switch off

Be first outside.

Outside isn’t on the App Store yet. Leave your email and I’ll write once, the day it launches.
