## What is Step Up?

Turn daily walking into a friendly challenge with people you know. Step Up syncs real steps from Apple Health, so your leaderboard is based on verified movement, not manual entry. Open the app, sync before midnight, and see where you stand.

No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Just challenges.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Create a challenge: pick "Most Steps" (who walks more in X days) or "Race to Goal" (first to hit the target wins)
2. Invite friends: share a link, they join in seconds
3. Walk and compete: live leaderboards update as you move. Get notified when someone passes you.

FEATURES

- Real Health Data: syncs with Apple Health for accurate, verified step counts. No manual entry needed.
- Multiple Challenge Types: race to a step goal or compete over days. Set your own duration and targets.
- Live Leaderboards: see exactly where you stand, updated in real time.
- Social Competition: set your status, send messages, and keep the challenge lively with your friends.
- Winners Circle: win a challenge and earn bragging rights with an orange halo, custom status, and a shareable results card.
- Push Notifications: know when someone passes you or when a challenge ends.

WHO IT'S FOR

Step Up is for anyone who walks, whether you're hitting 5,000 steps a day or chasing 20,000. If you enjoy friendly competition and want accountability from people you know, this is your app.

PRIVACY FIRST

Step Up only reads your step count from Apple Health, nothing else. Your data stays private and is never sold. Built by Dekode (South Africa).

Get moving. Challenge a friend. Step Up.
