Cheddar 1000
1000 Cheddar to use in Rat Race on outfits or rest days
Rat Race blocks your chosen distracting apps until you meet your daily step goal. This gamified approach encourages you to walk more to earn your screen time, rather than simply setting a timer.
Rat Race features a customizable virtual pet, described as a 'disgusting (and adorable) little sidekick'. You can name it, dress it up with outfits bought using in-app currency, and it cheers you on.
The app uses your phone's fitness data for real-time step counting. It works with your existing step tracker, so no extra hardware is required.
Cheddar is the in-app currency earned by walking steps. You can use Cheddar to purchase new outfits for your virtual rat to display on the global leaderboard.
