Out-walk your friends
Make a private group, share the code, and see who walks the most. Every day.
How it works
-
Make a group
Name it, and you get a six-character code.
-
Share the code
Friends tap your link or type the code. iPhone and Android in the same group.
-
Walk
Your steps come from Apple Health or Health Connect. Check who's ahead any time.
Race your friends
Everyone in your group stands on the snow as their own penguin, so you see who's ahead at a glance. Flip back day by day to see who won.
Run a championship
Pick your dates and how many places score. Each day the top finishers earn points, and the most points at the end takes the podium.
Walk to dress up Pip
Pip is your penguin, and the face your friends see. Hit your daily goal to earn coins, then spend them on hats, scarves and colours at the Pip Mall.
Private by design
- Invite-only groups. Nobody finds your group without your code.
- Only your groups see your steps. Leave a group and they stop seeing new ones.
- Steps, and nothing else. We read your daily step count. Never heart rate, workouts or location, and we never write to your health data.
- Never sold. We don't sell your data or use your steps for advertising.

How do I join a friend's group?
