Turn your walk into a race. Against your friends, your country, and everyone else on the board. Every day closes at midnight, and someone wins. RACE THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW Create a group and invite anyone with a link or a QR code. Everyone's steps land on one live board, the day closes at midnight, and someone wins. WORLD AND COUNTRY RANKINGS See exactly where you stand โ€” against every walker on Stepdy and against your own country. Day, week, month, or since the day you joined. HEAD-TO-HEAD STEP RACES Challenge one person over a day or a week. Pick the target, pick the opponent, and watch it play out live. STREAKS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Hit your daily goal and your streak grows. Miss it and it's gone. Set the goal yourself, from a gentle 5,000 to a serious 20,000. THE STEP WALLET Every step past your goal is banked. Fall short on a bad day and your wallet quietly covers the difference, so your streak survives. WATER, IN ONE TAP Log a glass in a single tap and watch your bottle fill. Gentle reminders every few hours stop the moment you reach your water goal. Your water log stays on your iPhone. WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE Your step count comes from Apple Health and the iPhone's motion coprocessor, and we never touch it. The number you see is the number you walked. NO ACCOUNT, NO PASSWORD There is nothing to sign up for. Stepdy uses the iCloud account already on your iPhone, so you are on a board the moment you open it. No email, no password, nothing to remember. WHAT LEAVES YOUR IPHONE The detailed records Stepdy reads from Apple Health โ€” steps, distance, active energy and, for your activities, heart rate and workouts โ€” are used to draw your own screens and never leave the device unless you export them yourself. Only step totals are shared: with the world and country leaderboards if you choose to appear on them (switch it off any time in the You tab), and with the groups you join. Nothing is sold or used for advertising, and Stepdy writes to Apple Health only to save the activities you record with an Apple Watch. STEPDY PRO Unlimited groups and step races, the Step Wallet, full history you can export as a spreadsheet, a walking plan built from your own walking, and app icons, bottle styles and your own glass size โ€” with a 7 day free trial. Stepdy is free to use. Stepdy Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription charged to your Apple ID. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can cancel any time in your App Store settings. Apple Health is required for step tracking. Stepdy is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. Terms of Use: https://stepdy-app.web.app/terms
