## What is Stride?

Walking is easier when you have something to chase.

Stride is a focused step tracker that turns everyday movement into friendly competition. Challenge someone to a timed Step Battle, or race the pace you need to reach your daily goal with Stride Companion.

STEP BATTLES

Invite a friend with a link, choose when the Battle ends, and start from zero when they accept. Follow the latest score, see who is ahead, and get a clear result when time runs out.

STRIDE COMPANION

No friend available? Race your daily pace. Companion compares your steps with where you should be right now, using your daily goal and recent activity pattern to create a realistic pace throughout the day.

LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND

Pin Stride once and see your most relevant activity at a glance. Stride can show an active walk or workout, a Step Battle, Stride Companion, or your daily steps.

DAILY ACTIVITY

Track steps, active calories, and distance with clear progress rings powered by Apple Health.

WALKS & WORKOUTS

Start a session for live steps, distance, route tracking, and continued Lock Screen updates while your phone is locked.

HISTORY THAT MAKES SENSE

Review daily totals, week-over-week trends, completed Battles, Companion results, walks, and workouts in one timeline.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your raw HealthKit records, routes, calories, and body weight stay on your device. When you join a Step Battle, Stride shares only the information needed to run it, such as your display name and Battle score.

No ads. No subscription. Just a clear way to move more—with a friend or against your own pace.
