CARROT is the only walking app that adapts to you. Every other app gives everyone the same goal — usually 10,000 steps. CARROT looks at how many steps you actually walk today and sets your goal just above that. Then it slowly increases it over time. You build a real walking habit without ever feeling overwhelmed. "I'm diabetic so it's helping me with my diabetes. It really gives us the incentive to get our steps each day." — Sister Darlene Marie Schoenhorr Hit your goal → earn CARROT coins → redeem for real gift cards (Starbucks, Amazon, and more). No fake points. Real rewards. CARROT SURVIVOR — Our most popular challenge. The most sedentary person and the marathon runner compete in the same challenge — privately, against their own personal goal. Nobody is embarrassed. Everyone can win. Oakland University reduced healthcare costs by 2% in 2019 using CARROT — while peer organizations saw increases. (Ron Watson, AVP) Free to download. Start where you are.
