## What is Gauntlet Challenge?

Another fitness app? You already know the options, and none of them fit the day-to-day between close friends.

When we've got a training buddy we tend to train more often. But friends move away, schedules stop lining up, and it goes unshared.

The photo feeds are a highlight reel. The group chat scrolls away and goes quiet. The tracking apps turn every run into a time, a pace and a place in a ranking. Online forums are strangers. None of them are wrong. They're just not built for this.

So: no leaderboards. No scores. No likes. No follower counts. No friend counts. No search — a stranger has no route to you at all. Nothing is public and nothing is broadcast. Training updates delete after 24 hours and are not retained.

If that sounds like it doesn't leave much, that's the point. Most of the day-to-day never gets shared anywhere — not because people don't want to, but because there's nowhere right to put it.

This is where you train together, apart.

WHAT IT IS
A small, private place to share your training with a few close friends. The gym session, the run, the early start, the week you didn't manage much.

Set a challenge — a first 5k, a daily push-up, getting back to the gym after a long time away — and invite a few friends. Some will take it on with you. Others are there to cheer you on. Both count.

Or keep a daily activity going with a group: one shared thing each day, one tap to say you did it. The card shows the names of the friends who've been out. Names, never numbers.

HOW YOU GET IN
You generate a code and hand it to someone you trust. That's the only way anyone joins you. No search, no address book, no suggested people. If you didn't invite them, they aren't there.

WHAT HAPPENS TO WHAT YOU SHARE
It disappears after a day. There's no archive, no history to scroll, no record building up behind you. Nothing to look back on and feel measured by.

WHAT WE DON'T DO WITH YOUR DATA
We don't sell it, and we don't share it for advertising. There's very little of it and nowhere for it to go. We're paid by members, not by advertisers.

A five-minute app, on purpose. See how your friends are doing, give someone a boost, and get on with your day. There's no advertising reward for us for time you spend in the app — our funding is a flat membership and in future may include billboard-style sponsorship, nothing that depends on holding onto you.

HOW IT WORKS
- Set a challenge, or accept a friend's invite
- Share honest updates with your small group — they fade after a day
- React with meaning: Powerup, Smashing it, Consistent, Chill
- Daily Activities deal you one small thing each morning, from your own list
- Finish a challenge and decide what's worth keeping, privately

Free 90-day trial of the full app, then a flat annual membership. No upsells, no premium tiers. You can buy gift memberships for friends and family.
