Step Journey - Where 10K steps unlock a piece of the world
Step Journey makes your daily 10 K goal fun. Each step uncovers more of today’s cultural postcard from a new country. Hit 10 K to uncover it completely and add it to your collection, then see your steps, distance, and calories.

I built Step Journey to make step counting actually fun.
Two months ago, my doctor suggested I start walking daily for my mental health. Easy enough, I thought. I downloaded a few step-counter apps and headed outside.
But most days I fell short of 10 K steps, and even when I hit my goal, the plain screen showing just numbers felt flat. No dopamine hit, no feeling of "Yes, I did it!"
So I decided to build the step-tracking app I needed. Instead of just a basic number, Step Journey gives you a daily cultural postcard hidden behind a silhouette:
How it works:
- A new postcard every day — each morning you see only a greyed-out shape.
- Your steps reveal the picture — as you walk, the image gradually appears.
- Goal reached, card unlocked — hit 10 K steps, reveal the complete postcard, and save it to your journey collection.
It made a noticeable difference—I found myself actually looking forward to finishing my steps, just to see the postcard fully revealed. It worked so well for me, I polished it up and shipped Step Journey.
If ordinary pedometer apps feel like all effort with no real reward, try Step Journey and let me know your thoughts. Your feet move, the world appears. 🌍👟
Are there future plans to personalize the postcards based on user interests or locations?
Step Journey
@shahriardgm For now, we haven’t planned personalization based on location or interests. We wanted to keep the experience surprise-based—like a daily discovery of cultures from around the world. But in the future, we might explore ways to offer both: surprise-based postcards and an option for personalized ones, so users can choose what they enjoy more 🙂
What a delightful way to stay motivated! Step Journey turns your daily walk into a global adventure — love the mix of fitness, culture, and collectibility. Makes hitting 10K steps feel rewarding in a whole new way.

@supa_l Really appreciate that! Glad you liked it—we wanted to make walking feel a bit more fun and meaningful.
This is pretty cool. Any possibility to share the steps goals with friends? (kind of gamification)
Step Journey
@busmark_w_nika It’s not in the app yet, but sharing step goals with friends is definitely something we’ve planned, it’s coming in one of the next updates 🙂

@paul_hoeppner Thank You!
I’m already working on integrating Apple Health and Apple Watch — will most likely be included in the next update.

Such a cool idea!

@clannachan Thank You !
This is a truly interesting product—I highly recommend everyone give it a try!
@pratikindieSuch a cute concept, the app design is clean, and the postcard feature adds that gentle charm... kinda reminds of a game where every level I conquered there's a trivia at the end. But yeah, literally, stepping up the game! 😉

Absolutely! Here’s a friendly and engaging Product Hunt comment reply for Step Journey:
This is such a creative way to stay motivated and hit those daily step goals! 🚶♂️🌏 I love the idea of exploring a new country’s culture with every 10K steps and collecting postcards along the way. It turns walking into a fun adventure and makes fitness feel rewarding. Can’t wait to try Step Journey and see which countries I can “travel” to next! 🏅✈️

As someone who has bounced between boring step counters, I know how quickly the novelty of hitting a number wears off. Step Journey actually turns daily walks into a little adventure—I found myself weirdly excited to see what postcard would be hidden behind today’s silhouette.

I love the idea of unlocking a postcard — feels like a mini adventure each day.
I am a huge 10k steps per day fan. Im doing it for quite a while now. You app kinda refresh the way of viewing the step challenge. Love the interface and everything. The only downside for me which is my question, do you planned to add a widget for IOS? And second one, I love that you give us the option to go for 1 years to 9.99 or 3.99, do you planned to go with a lifetime price?
Thanks for that amazing app! Great job!
Love this idea! A Fun way to set healthy goals and stay educated!
