About

Stride

Read full description

Stride is a simple and thoughtful step tracker designed to help you stay aware of your daily movement. There are no charts to decode, no achievements to chase, and no pressure to do more than feels right. Just a clear view of your steps today, your daily goal, and how your activity changes over time. Stride connects with Apple Health to show your step data while respecting your privacy. Your data stays on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything in the app is designed with intention: calm layouts, clear spacing, and a focus on what truly matters. Stride isn’t about pushing limits. It’s about consistency, awareness, and moving a little every day.

About

Stride Step Leaderboard

Features
Read full description

Stride turns your friends into a weekly step race. Start a crew, share the invite code, and everyone's daily steps from Apple Health land on one leaderboard. The board resets every Monday, so every week is a fresh race. - See the whole board at a glance: today's steps, your rank, and exactly how far you are behind the next person. - Go head to head with anyone in your crew, day by day. - Look back over your last twelve weeks on a simple history grid. - Join as many crews as you like: family, office, running club. Your steps count in all of them. FAIR BY DESIGN Stride reads one number from Apple Health: your daily step count. It merges your iPhone and your watch or band the way Apple Health does, so nothing is counted twice, and it leaves out steps typed in by hand. The board reflects real walking. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Crews are invite-only. Stride never reads heart rate, sleep, workouts or location, and never sells or shares your data. You can delete your account and every step Stride has stored for you at any time, right in the app.
