Pixfin is a step tracker with a tiny aquarium inside. It builds a walking plan from your usual activity, rising weekly toward 8,000 steps a day. Steps come from Apple Health, and every walk grows a small creature: your first is fully grown in 4 to 8 days. Collect 32 real creatures, from a goldfish to a pink river dolphin, with widgets and Apple Watch. No streaks, no ads, no tracking. Requires a subscription; the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
