Walka is the simplest way to actually keep your walking habit. Put real money on your daily step goal. Hit it and you keep your money. Miss, and your stake goes to the people who showed up. No streaks, no points, no nagging notifications. WHY WALKA • Real stakes, real accountability. Money on the line works because excuses don't. • Walk with friends. Host a challenge, share an invite link, everyone puts in a buy-in. No subscription needed to join. • Two ways to play. Accountability challenges pay everyone who hits their goal. Step Races are winner takes all, most steps wins the pool. • Fair by design. On accountability challenges our cut comes only from the stakes people forfeit, so hitting your goal never costs you. • Apple Health does the tracking. No extra app, no manual logging. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a challenge (1, 3, 7, or 14 days at different step goals). 2. Stake your buy-in, held securely via Stripe. 3. Walk your daily target. Apple Health scores it. 4. When it ends, winners are paid out to their bank via Stripe. WALKA+ ($9.99/month) Unlocks solo, bet on yourself. Stake any amount on your own daily goal and get it all back when you finish. Cancel anytime in Settings. PRIVACY Your step data stays on your phone except the daily total we need to score active challenges. We never sell it. Get walking. Get paid. Or don't.
