Create an account with email and password 2. Grant HealthKit permission to sync your steps and calories 3. Create a private group or join one with an invite code 4. Start a battle (choose duration, type, and fair play mode) 5. Walk, sync automatically, and compete on real-time leaderboards Fair Competition: Not everyone walks the same amount. That's why we have Handicap mode (adjusts scores based on your baseline activity) and Best Days mode (only your best days count toward your total). Everyone can compete fairly, regardless of their starting fitness level. Start your first battle today and turn walking into a game.
