Make every hour bloom.
Buttercup turns your daily step goal into a few short walks across the day. Walk, and your buddy grows a little island that's only yours.
How it works
Small walks that add up
A goal that fits your day
Your goal is split into quests across the hours you're awake. Most take a few minutes.
A buddy that grows
Every walk earns XP, and Pip, Sunny or Mallow grow from a tiny bud to full bloom.
An island of your own
Reach your goal and your buddy hands you a gift. Plant flowers, build homes and watch it grow.
Strolls with friends
Invite a friend for a short walk. You'll see when they join and when they walk.
Beta testing
Walk with us before launch
We're inviting a small group to try Buttercup early, on iPhone or Android. Leave your email and we'll send you an invite when there's a spot.
- Get the app before everyone else.
- Tell us what works and what doesn't, straight from the app.
- We only email you about the beta. No newsletters.
You're on the list!
We'll email you when your invite is ready.
Your steps stay yours
- Buttercup only reads your step count.
- No location, no ads, and nothing is sold.
- Friends see your first name and the walk, never your steps.
Help Buttercup keep growing
Buttercup is made independently, with no ads. If it gets you walking a little more, you can chip in to help keep it going and growing.
A way to support the app is coming soon.
