What actually helped you make walking stick long-term?

I’ve been trying to turn walking into a regular habit for a while now and keep walking(pun intended) into the same walls. Most of the apps are either overly complex or and the app starts to feel more of a chore then the walking itself or feels like an indirect feature like walking helps in Pokemon Go but not really. I recently been tinkering on a simple app for myself to make walking more of a habit.
What has actually worked for others here who managed to make walking sticks long-term? Do you guys track steps or do you treat walking itself as the habit, just the thing to do with no tracking? Do you have reminders or simple methods to help you stay consistent without adding friction? If you fell off, what was it that actually caused it? Was it an app that was too complex, boredom, or something else?
I’m especially interested in low-effort approaches. The less daily maintenance required besides the actual walking the better, at least for me. Looking for practical experiences and general advice.
What has or hasn’t worked for you?
