Your steps. Now it's a race. Stride is a step counter with a finish line. Your friends run beside you on a real track, each one a different-colored Bib, and the finish line is your daily goal. Stride also turns the steps you already walk into a weekly competition against real people. Every Monday you join a league group of up to 30. Every Sunday the top finishers move up and the bottom ones move down. No equipment, no workouts to log — just walk. WEEKLY LEAGUES Twelve leagues, Bronze to Immortal, stacked like floors of one mountain. Your daily step total is your score. Watch the board move in real time, see exactly how many steps put you in the promotion places, and find out where you finished when the season closes. RACE A FRIEND Challenge anyone to a head-to-head: most steps over three days, first to 50,000, or a weekend sprint. Everyone runs on a real track — each friend a different-colored Bib, the finish line at the target — so you see who's ahead, down to the last step. STREAKS AND MARKS Hit your daily goal to build a streak. Bib, your running buddy, will let you know — loudly — when it's about to break. Earn marks for the milestones that actually took effort. WIDGETS WITH PRO Today's progress, your league rank, your streak and your race, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, updated through the day. STEP HISTORY Every day you've walked since you installed Stride, week by week, with your goal line drawn through it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Stride reads one thing from Apple Health: your daily step count. No workouts, no location, no routes. No ads, no trackers, no data sold. Delete your account in Settings and everything goes with it. STRIDE PRO Monthly, yearly (starting with a 7-day free trial) or once for life. Streak freezes (miss a day, keep your streak) and a monthly streak repair, a League Shield (stay in your league once a month), Home and Lock Screen widgets, your own Bib — colour, headband, shirt, shades, a cap or a crown, and your friends see it — unlimited races, advanced statistics and the full history. The leagues, streaks and friend races are free forever. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
