Pushi turns everyday activity into a fun, social challenge. Compete with friends, your workplace, or just your own best self — and if your tracker reaches Apple Health (Apple Watch, Garmin, Huawei, Fitbit and more), you're ready to go. CHALLENGES FOR EVERY KIND OF MOVER The Complete challenge scores your whole day — workouts, calories, exercise minutes, and active hours — rewarding a balanced day, not just one big gym session. Prefer something simpler? Set up a step challenge, a distance challenge, or a manual challenge for pushups, sit-ups, or anything else worth counting. And you don't need a group to get going — your own private Personal Challenge is ready from day one. No setup, no waiting: just you against your own consistency, from an everyday nudge up to a proper push. LIVE LEADERBOARDS Rankings update throughout the day, so a quiet Tuesday can turn into a race by dinner. Quick head-to-head or week-long group battle — motivation stays high and progress stays visible. FOR TEAMS, GYMS & WORKPLACES Run a challenge for your organisation — from a Fortune 500 company to the local mountaineering club. Members join in whichever way fits: with their work email at the company, or by scanning a QR poster at the club. Perfect for step weeks, wellness months, and friendly office rivalries. A NUDGE WHEN YOU NEED ONE Optional AI activity suggestions give you a daily prompt based on your recent activity — your name and email are never shared. Available in 11 languages. Move more. Challenge friends. Stay consistent. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
