Read full description

Reach your daily step goal and bring your friends along. StrideWise was born out of a family challenge to hit 10,000 steps a day. It reads your steps straight from Apple Health and turns them into something you actually want to look at. WALK TOGETHER Add friends with a code or a link and watch your steps line up next to theirs on a shared leaderboard. Compare today, yesterday, this week, this month, or the whole year, ranked by steps, goal reached, or current streak. A podium crowns the top three, because a plain list never made anyone walk further. TAKE ON A CHALLENGE Pick a friend, pick a length and see who moves. Most steps wins, or best goal percentage so nobody is punished for having longer legs, or one shared target the whole group walks towards together. Anything from a single day up to a month. Finished challenges stay in your archive, so you can still settle who won last summer. SEE YOUR PROGRESS A daily ring that fills as you walk. Your last seven days at a glance. Streaks, a goal calendar, monthly and yearly charts, and a year end forecast that tells you where you will land if you carry on like this. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Works with your iPhone alone or with an Apple Watch. Nothing to set up beyond your daily goal. Available in English, Deutsch, and PortuguΓͺs (Brasil). PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your steps stay on your device unless you choose to set up a Friends profile and even then only the people you accept can see them. 100 % free to use!
