Titan reads your daily step count from Apple Health and compares it with a goal you set. Steps also add a small amount to your daily Exertion score.
01Your step goal
The goal starts at 10,000 steps. To change it, tap your avatar on Today to open You, tap your profile card to open Your Profile, and use the Daily Step Goal stepper under Daily Targets. The goal runs from 1,000 to 30,000 steps and moves in steps of 500.
The goal is a reference line. The Steps tile on Today shows your count against it, such as 7.2k / 10k, and its 7-day sparkline marks the goal. The Steps screen draws the goal as a dashed line and tells you how far above or below it each day landed. Changing the goal does not change your Exertion score.
02Reading the Steps screen
Tap the Steps tile on Today to open the full history. The window picker switches between 7, 30, and 60 days, with 30 days selected by default. The summary shows your most recent recorded day, the window average, and your daily goal. The Step history bar chart and a 60-day heatmap follow. Tap any day to see its total against your goal.
Missing days
A day with no step reading shows as unavailable. Titan does not count it as zero. The Steps tile on Today reads "No data", and the day readout says "Steps unavailable". The window average uses only days with recorded values, and the summary notes how many days are missing.
Why totals change
Your iPhone and Apple Watch both record steps, and the watch can take a while to send its data to Health. A day's total can rise after Titan first shows it, most often for today and yesterday.
03Heart rate per step
The Steps screen shows a ratio called heart rate per step. Titan takes your most recent resting heart rate in the selected window and divides it by your average daily steps across that window. A resting heart rate of 55 bpm with an 8,000-step average gives 0.0069. The card lists both inputs and the date of the resting heart rate reading so you can check the math.
The ratio falls as you walk more or as your resting heart rate drops. It does not measure walking efficiency or diagnose fitness. Until Titan has both resting heart rate and step history for the window, the screen shows "Needs resting heart rate and steps" in place of the card.
04How steps add to Exertion
Steps add a small amount to your daily Exertion score on top of any workouts. Up to 700 steps add nothing. From 700 to 12,000 steps the bonus rises in a straight line to a maximum of 1.2 points. At 6,350 steps you get 0.6 points. Anything above 12,000 steps still earns 1.2.
Workout points and step points are added together and capped at 10. A day with no workout, fewer than 700 steps, and under 90 active calories scores 0. Any other day scores at least 1.0. The Exertion score article covers the workout side of the calculation.
