StrideSafe

Walk more together—without turning connection into constant tracking. StrideSafe is a consent-first step tracker for two trusted people. Follow daily steps, goals and streaks, share progress with a partner, and choose when a current walk or commute includes location. WALK MORE TOGETHER • Track daily steps with Apple Health or the iPhone pedometer • Set personal daily and weekly goals • Build personal and couple walking streaks • Share step progress separately from location • Send quick encouragements to your paired partner SHARE ON YOUR TERMS Location sharing is off by default. Starting a stride never silently enables it. Choose Off, Approximate or, with Plus, Precise. Pause, Stop, Arrive and End stay close on iPhone. Your partner sees your approved location only while the pairing and current consent allow it. Stride sharing requires an active walk; continuous sharing is a separate opt-in. An optional live route during an active walk is relayed temporarily and is never saved to the server database. FREE IN STRIDESAFE • Daily walking progress, goals and streaks • One active partner pairing • Approximate location during an active stride • Pause, Stop, Revoke, Arrive, End, sign-out and deletion controls STRIDESAFE PLUS Every new download includes an automatic seven-day Plus Preview. No sign-up or payment is required, and the preview does not charge or renew. After it ends, choose a monthly or annual subscription in the app. Plus unlocks: • Precise location sharing • Full walking Insights and private on-device route history • Apple Watch app and complications • iPhone widgets • Optional continuous sharing and goal-progress notifications One active subscription also unlocks Plus for your current paired partner. PRIVACY BY DESIGN StrideSafe stores only one replaceable latest approved location on the server—not a server-side route history. Private walk routes stay on the walker’s device. Approximate, precise, paused, stale, unavailable, revoked, arrived and ended states are clearly distinguished. StrideSafe supports connection and reassurance. It does not guarantee safety and is not a replacement for emergency services.
