Terms of use

Last updated 5 November 2026.

These terms apply to the StepDesk app for iPhone and Apple Watch. They add to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which also applies. By using StepDesk you agree to both. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Safety comes first

A walking pad is a moving machine. Keep your pad's own remote or stop button within reach every time you use it, and follow the safety instructions from your pad's maker.

• StepDesk sends commands to your pad over Bluetooth. Bluetooth can drop, be delayed or fail, and a pad may not respond to a command. StepDesk cannot guarantee that the belt will start, stop or change speed when you ask.
• Do not rely on StepDesk as your only way to stop the belt.
• Keep children and pets away from the pad, and do not leave a running pad unattended.
• You use your walking pad, and StepDesk with it, at your own risk.

Health and fitness information

StepDesk is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Heart rate, calories, distance and time are estimates and may be inaccurate. Talk to a doctor before starting an exercise program, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath.

Compatible pads

StepDesk works with walking pads that use the PitPat app. Pads vary, and a pad's maker can change its firmware at any time, so StepDesk cannot promise to work with every pad or to keep working with yours.

StepDesk is an independent app. It is not made, endorsed or supported by PitPat, DeerRun or any walking pad maker. Those names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.

No warranty

StepDesk is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the developer of StepDesk is not liable for any injury, damage to property or equipment, or indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of StepDesk or your walking pad. The developer's total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for StepDesk. Some places do not allow these limits, so some of them may not apply to you.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The new version will be posted here with a new date. Continuing to use StepDesk after a change means you accept it.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, USA, except where the law of your country requires otherwise. Questions: deskcomrade64@gmail.com.
