Works whether the app is open or closed — your steps keep counting in the background. BUILD A STREAK Hit your daily goal and watch your streak grow. Miss a day? A grace day keeps your streak alive — but use it wisely. Streaks reset when you stop moving; they stay when you keep going. KNOW YOUR PROGRESS A clean ring shows exactly where you stand today.
