Nobody quits in front of an audience. That's the whole idea. Pick a goal, put real money behind it, and challenge someone to beat you. Your watch keeps score. Best performance takes the prize pool. A goal you tell nobody is easy to skip. A goal with a competitor, a deadline, and something real behind it is not. HOW IT WORKS Pick your goal: steps, distance, mile pace, 5K, 10K, sleep, Zone 2 minutes, or your overall HARTHOS Health Score. Set the terms: one on one, group, or squad versus squad. Play free, or enter with real money. Move: Progress syncs automatically from Apple Health. Best performance takes the prize pool. BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH AND YOUR FITNESS WEARABLE Start a challenge and forget about it. Steps, distance, pace, heart rate, and sleep sync automatically from your Apple Watch, in the background, with nothing to log. Also works with Garmin, Oura, Fitbit, and anything else that writes to Apple Health. COMPETE HOW YOU WANT One on one: call out a friend, or anyone on the leaderboard. Group: multiple competitors, with the top finishers sharing the prize pool. Squad versus squad: team totals, split evenly across the winning side. Daily challenges: a fresh goal every day, all season long. Charity mode (coming soon): send your winnings to a cause instead of your wallet. EVERY METRIC COUNTS Steps. Distance. Mile pace. 5K and 10K times. Sleep. Zone 2 Workout Duration. Health Score. Whatever your watch already tracks, you can compete on. YOUR HARTHOS HEALTH SCORE One number, updated daily, built from your activity, sleep, and recovery. Watch it move as your habits change, and compete on it directly. AN AI AND HUMAN REFEREE IN EVERY CHALLENGE You should never lose to someone who cheated. Every challenge is scored on verified data from Apple Health and your connected devices, and an AI referee watches for anomalies on both sides. Disputes go to human review. Results are decided by performance, nothing else. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your health data is used to score challenges. That's it. We don't sell it. LEADERBOARDS AND SEASONS Climb the global leaderboard. Track your record, win rate, and streaks. Each season brings new goals, new competitors, and rewards from partner brands. YOUR WALLET HARTHOS settles in real money, not points or coins. Add funds with Apple Pay, card, or bank transfer. Winnings land in your wallet as soon as a challenge settles, and withdraw to your bank anytime. A hart is a stag that has made it through five seasons. Endurance is the whole point. ELIGIBILITY HARTHOS is an 18 and over skill based competition app available in the United States. Results are determined by your fitness performance, not by chance. Paid entry is void where prohibited by law. Free challenges are open to everyone. Terms: harthos.app/terms Privacy: harthos.app/privacy Support: support@harthos.app
