Step count not showing in entry data
-
Just noticed today that step counts aren’t showing up in any of my entries, even old ones where the step count was definitely included before. It doesn’t appear to have been moved elsewhere (at least, not anywhere that’s intuitive to me). Hopefully this gets put back soon!

Hi there,
What’s happened is actually an intentional change. The step count option in entry metadata has been removed from Day One as of the recent app update (version 2026.9). This was a deliberate decision by the team, so it won’t be restored in its current form. The plan is to bring HealthKit integration back in an improved way through the Today tab in a future update – but for now, the step count field in entry metadata is no longer available. We’ve noted your feedback, though.

Huh. That’s interesting. When it returns, will that data be restored to the old entries? It was nice to have it on certain days, especially about traveling or exercising, so have it just drop off of old entries with no warning isn’t great.
