Start doing. Stride turns your goals into daily habits and puts a real accountability partner - or your whole team - in your corner. Every check-off updates a Lock Screen Live Activity, so your day is always one glance away. WHY ANOTHER HABIT APP? Because tracking alone doesn't change anything. The thing that actually moves the needle is having someone who cares whether you did it. Stride is built around that one idea. WHAT YOU GET - Daily Execution Score One 0–100% number that tells you how today is really going. Personal habits show in green. Team tasks show in blue. Skipping doesn't ding you, but pretending you did doesn't help either. - Real Accountability Partners Search by @username, send an invite, and your partner sees what you completed and what you didn't. They can nudge you, congratulate you, or just be a quiet presence. No bots. No streak shame. Real humans. - Teams & Shared Workspaces Cofounder duos, gym buddies, study groups, sales pods. Create a team, share goals, assign tasks, watch progress roll up across everyone. - Live Activity + Lock Screen Your score ring lives on the Lock Screen. Up to 5 of your most important habits sit right there. Tap to complete from the Dynamic Island. Glance to know where you stand. - Four Goal Types That Match How You Think Milestone, Outcome, Performance, or Habit — pick the one that fits, and Stride links the right habits underneath automatically. - Story Entries Attach a photo and a note to any goal. Build a real record of how you got there. Share the milestone card when you hit it. - Smart Notifications Morning briefing. Evening check-in. Habit reminders. Partner activity. You control all of it. - Built for iOS 17+ Native SwiftUI. Dark mode. Dynamic Island. Apple-tier polish, not a website wrapped in a webview. WHO IT'S FOR Founders, students, athletes, creators — anyone whose progress depends on showing up daily and who already knows that solo discipline isn't quite cutting it. PRIVACY Your data is yours. We don't sell it, we don't run ads, we don't profile you. Account deletion happens entirely in-app. TRY STRIDE Free to start with one accountability partner and unlimited personal goals. Pro unlocks teams, unlimited partners, full story photo history, and advanced insights. Stop tracking. Start doing. Your future gets built one Stride at a time.
