Read full description

Journey Together turns your daily steps into something you share with the people you actually know. Track your steps each day, set a goal that suits you, and watch your progress build. Then start a shared journey with friends — a group challenge where everyone's steps add up toward one destination. WALK TOGETHER • Create a journey, set a step goal, invite friends • Everyone's steps count toward the shared total • Follow friends and see how they're doing TRACK YOUR DAYS • Log steps manually, or sync them from Apple Health • Set a daily step goal • Review your history on a calendar YOURS TO CONTROL • Private accounts, follow requests, and blocking • Report anything that doesn't belong • Health sync is entirely optional — the app works fully without it ABOUT HEALTH DATA Journey Together reads your step count from Apple Health only if you grant permission. Steps are the only health data the app reads. You can use every feature by entering steps manually instead. Journey Together is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Step data is for general wellness and motivation only.
