Meet your
reluctant
fitness buddy

Walk a little. Grow together. He complains the whole way.

Grumble turns your daily steps into a creature called Mosskip — who refuses to be impressed, and slowly grows into something larger anyway. It reads your step count from Apple Health and gets on with it.

Grumble's home screen: a greeting, Mosskip saying he does not know how to be useful yet, and today's step count.

He says things like

  • “i do not know how to be useful yet.”
  • “Carries anything. Defeated by stairs.”
  • “still getting to know you.”
  • “Hatched today. Still slightly damp.”

What it does

No streaks to protect. No guilt if you stop. Just a small animal keeping score, badly.

Grows with your steps

Egg to monster,
one walk at a time

Mosskip hatches, then evolves through stages as you walk. Your movement literally shapes him.

The Growth screen, plotting Mosskip's shape across stamina, strength, vitality and suppleness.

He remembers

Your habits become
his personality

A shared history that keeps the walks worth keeping — and the days you skipped, without comment.

Mosskip's own screen, with a bond meter, a description compiled without his permission, and kept memories.

A weekly look back

The week you had,
not the one you meant

A short report every Monday. Honest about the quiet days, generous about the rest.

Today's story: a ring showing steps against the goal, with the day's activity below.

  • Log anythingRuns, the gym, whatever else. Not everything worth doing shows up as steps.
  • Never scolds youGrumpy, slightly goofy, and completely uninterested in shaming you into a walk.
Mosskip, a small round mossy monster with one eye.

He remembers
every walk you take

Every stage, every quiet week, every time you came back after stopping. Mosskip keeps the record — not as a streak to break, but as a shared history worth having.

Grumble Pro

Grumble is free, and stays useful for free. Later monster stages are unlocked by Pro — a one-time purchase. Not a subscription. It does not renew, and it will not charge you again.

$6.99 USD · once Early access

  • Youngling and Grumbeast — the later monster art
  • Everything you already had, permanently
  • No renewal, no second charge, no upsell later

How Grumble is sold to new users may change later — the price, or the one-time purchase itself. What cannot change is a purchase already made: everything included in Pro at the time you bought it stays yours, permanently and at no further cost. That commitment is written into the Terms, not just implied here.

Privacy, briefly

It reads two things,
and nothing else

  • Step count
  • Walking & running distance
  • Not heart rate, not workouts, not location

Access is read-only, and the data is never transmitted anywhere. The only information that ever leaves your phone is what's needed to process a purchase. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.

Go on. Give Mosskip a poke.

He will pretend not to enjoy it.
