Still Counts — Step Tracker

Last updated: August 3, 2026

Overview

Still Counts (“the app”) is a step tracking application for Android. Your privacy is the core design principle of this app: the app does not collect, store, or share any personal or sensitive user data.

Data collection

Still Counts does not collect any data. Specifically, the app:

  • Does not require an account or sign-in
  • Does not request network or internet access
  • Does not request location access
  • Does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
  • Does not collect, transmit, or share personal or sensitive user data of any kind

Data stored on your device

All data the app creates is stored locally on your device:

  • Your step counts and daily history are stored in a local on-device database (Room)
  • Your preferences are stored in local app storage
  • This data never leaves your device

The app reads your phone’s built-in step sensor (via the ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION permission) to count steps. This data is processed entirely on-device.

Data sharing

The app does not share any data with any third parties, because it collects no data.

Permissions

  • Physical activity / step sensor (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION): used solely to count your steps on-device.
  • Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): used only to optionally show your step count in a notification you can turn off.
  • Boot (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): used to resume step tracking after your phone restarts.
  • Foreground service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_HEALTH): used to keep step tracking reliable in the background, as you can configure.

Children’s privacy

The app is not directed at children and is rated for general audiences.
