It's 9 PM. You're short on steps and out of ideas. Most apps just show you the number you missed. StrideHeist hands you a mission instead. StrideHeist turns your daily step gap into a tactical operation. Tell it where you are and how short you are, and it deploys a real walking route built to close the gap and drop you exactly where you want to finish. No aimless laps around the block. No “you've got this.” Just a clear objective and a way to hit it. This is not a wellness app. It's an extraction tool with an obsidian and electric-lime HUD, dry mission briefings, and a rank you earn only by finishing what you start. WHAT YOU GET • Gap detection that reads how many steps you have left and builds a mission sized to close them. • Routes you don't see coming. Walk a generated loop, or get a one-way route to a surprise destination, each built to close your gap. • A codename and a rank. Every operative gets a codename. Finish missions, hold your streak, and climb from the bottom of the ranks to the top. • The debrief. Finish a mission and get a clean, shareable debrief card: your stats, your codename, your win. • Built for the Final Mile, the gap between where your step count is and where it needs to be, closed on demand. WHO IT'S FOR • The professional who closes tabs and rings and hates deciding where to walk at night. • The gamer who finds step trackers boring and wants movement that looks like something. • The remote worker who needs a real reason to step outside, not another reminder to stay active. BECOME AN OPERATIVE Every operative starts the same way: one gap, one mission. Generate your route, earn your codename, hold your streak, and climb the ranks. FAQ Does it count my steps? Yes. StrideHeist reads your step and motion data to track every mission in real time. Do I have to run? No. StrideHeist is built for walking. Every mission is a walk, sized to your gap. Will it drain my battery? Location is used only while a mission is active, so tracking stops the moment the mission ends. Do you sell my data? No. StrideHeist runs no ads and sells no data. Your routes are yours. The streets are the operating theater. Your steps are the mission. Close the gap.
