Terminal Steps: A Claude mod for a daily step goal, synced from Apple Health (github.com)

A new Claude Code mod, "Terminal Steps," has been introduced to help users achieve daily step goals by syncing with Apple Health. This innovative tool displays today's step count and sends reminders to encourage walking, while also incorporating features like goal tracking and streak management. It is designed to enhance motivation through gamification by setting specific step checkpoints, making it easier to incorporate fitness into daily routines. Significantly, the Terminal Steps mod bridges a gap in fitness tracking as Apple Health lacks a direct Mac or web API. Instead, it uses a clever workaround with an iPhone Shortcut that reads step data and saves it to iCloud Drive, which the app then accesses. Users need Claude Code version 2.1.288 or newer to install the mod and can customize their setup based on individual step goals and preferences. With this integration, the AI/ML community can explore new applications of AI in personal health and fitness, highlighting the growing trend of combining technology with health management.
