I was translating a text and I read:

It seems you inch closer to my window with each passing day

What does "inch closer" mean? I tried to search on Google but I didn't understood really what does it mean.

I hope you can help me, thanks.

    If you google "define inch", the results include "verb 1. move slowly and carefully in a specified direction". Does that help you understand the sentence?

It means getting closer slowly and gradually, i.e., an inch at a time (1 inch is 2.54cm).
