Presets like Weekday Hustle and Weekend Warrior set it up in one tap. • Streak — hit the daily goal every day. Longest unbroken run wins. • Bingo — a 5×5 card of step tasks. First line or full blackout, your choice. Join with one link Create a challenge, share the link or 6-character code, and friends join instantly — no accounts to hunt down, no friend requests. Steps from Apple Health Whatever you track with — Apple Watch, iPhone, or a third-party wearable that writes to Health — counts. Honest numbers Every participant's total shows when it was last synced. Scores are computed on our servers, not on anyone's phone, and late syncs still count during the grace window.
