A sentence of context would help, but it is probably reasonably synonymous with little by little or step by ste p.

It means step by step or one step at a time.

It would be nice if you write the entire sentence for the context.

I think your explanation is right because it matches the following passage:

"One inch at a time. That is how I climb and that is how I live. Sure, the summit is my goal, but without each carefully calculated move, I could never make it to the top. Each small step and each giant reach presents a unique challenge."
