Chapter I · The mechanics

How it works.

p.s. it takes like 45 seconds to set up →
chapter i.

Plug into Apple Health

Grant step access once. We never read anything else. Not sleep, not calories, not heart rate.

chapter ii.

Set Monty’s daily goal

Default is 8,000 steps. Slide it lower on slow weeks. Slide it up when you’re feeling it.

chapter iii.

Go outside, basically

Monty checks your step count throughout the day and picks a mood to match. No notifications unless you ask.

Chapter II · Vibes

How he feels = how you walk.

Monty doesn’t have moods. He has a vibe. It shifts continuously with your step count — radiant on a strong day, wilted on a slow one, every shade in between.

every step nudges him a little. nothing’s a fixed mood — he’s always moving with you. ♡

Chapter III · Dress up

The closet.

Bows, caps, beanies, scarves, sunglasses, things to hold — dress him however. Three pieces are free; a fresh accessory drops every Sunday for Monty+ subscribers, plus a seasonal collection each month. His color is his own (it tracks how he’s feeling), so the closet is just wearables.

psst — early testers unlock everything ♡

Nice things they said.

Walked four extra blocks so Monty wouldn’t be sad. This app owns me.

The only health app that hasn’t made me feel guilty. A wonder of the world.

My Monty has a lil bow. When he’s happy his antenna wiggles. I am unwell.

Chapter V · FAQ

Small questions.

ask us anything — DMs open
@monty.health ♡
01
Does Monty ever die?
Nope. Never. The worst he gets is sniffly. A short walk always, always fixes him.
02
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No — iPhone step counts are enough. A Watch just nudges the accuracy up a bit.
03
What about rest days?
Schedule up to two rest days a week. Monty’s goal stands down and he cheers you on from the couch.
04
Is this free?
The whole loop is free — step tracking, mood, basic accessories, all of it. Monty+ ($3.99/mo or $24.99/yr, 3-day trial) unlocks weekly accessory drops, a household of multiple Montys, AI-personalized dialogue, full mood history, Apple Watch complication, Whoop/Strava/Garmin sync, and clean shareable cards. No ads on either tier.
05
What about my data?
We only read step count. It lives on your phone. No accounts, no tracking, no ads, no weirdness.
