Tandem matches you with a random opponent every week for a simple challenge: who can walk more steps? No friends list to manage, no complex workouts to track—just you, your steps, and one goal: beat your opponent by Sunday night. HOW IT WORKS • Every Sunday at midnight, you're matched with a new anonymous competitor • Track your steps throughout the week and watch the battle unfold in real-time • Win by walking more steps than your opponent by week's end • Start fresh with a new match the following week FEATURES Weekly Competitions Get automatically matched with a new opponent every week. See their name and city, but nothing else—anonymous competition at its purest. Real-Time Battle View Watch your progress against your opponent with live step counts. Dynamic messages keep you motivated whether you're ahead, behind, or neck-and-neck. Daily Step Goals Set a personal daily goal (2,500 to 50,000 steps) and track your progress alongside the weekly competition. Competition History Review your journey with a complete history of past matches. See your wins, losses, and how you've improved over time. Home Screen Widget Keep the competition front and center with a widget showing your current steps, opponent's steps, and who's winning.
