StepTally brings back the step challenges you loved — leaderboards, streaks, and step Bingo — for you and your friends. Three ways to play • Leaderboard — most steps over the challenge wins. Presets like Weekday Hustle and Weekend Warrior set it up in one tap. • Streak — hit the daily goal every day. Longest unbroken run wins. • Bingo — a 5×5 card of step tasks. First line or full blackout, your choice. Join with one link Create a challenge, share the link or 6-character code, and friends join instantly — no accounts to hunt down, no friend requests. Steps from Apple Health Whatever you track with — Apple Watch, iPhone, or a third-party wearable that writes to Health — counts. Honest numbers Every participant's total shows when it was last synced. Scores are computed on our servers, not on anyone's phone, and late syncs still count during the grace window. Earn badges Eight badges for streaks, wins, and milestones. Your personal stats — current streak, longest streak, lifetime steps and distance — live on your profile. Your steps stay yours StepTally reads step count and walking distance only, to power your challenges. Never ads. Never sold. Disconnect anytime in Settings. StepTally is free with no ads.
