The weekly
Monday to Sunday, most steps wins. Run it again the moment it ends, with the same people already in - or set it to repeat, and next week starts by itself.
Settle it
Exactly two people, shown as a tug-of-war, for a week or a month.
Club season race
First to 250,000 steps wins. Everyone can see how far they are from the next place and how many steps a day would close it.
Premium and add-ons are only ever bought by the person who starts a competition. Everyone invited joins free. See pricing.
01
Start a competition.
A week, a month, your own dates, a head-to-head or a race.
02
Send the link.
Whoever opens it is one tap from joining.
03
Walk.
Steps sync on their own. You hear about it when somebody passes you, and there's a picture for the group chat when it's over.
What organizers ask
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Joining any competition is free for everyone, whoever started it. Only the organizer ever pays, and only for a race to a step target, a competition that repeats, one longer than two weeks, or more than three running at once.
What stops somebody typing in a big number?
Anyone can type a day in by hand, because phones get left on the counter. A typed day is marked as typed for everyone in the competition to see.
Who can see my steps?
Only the people in competitions you join and the friends you add. No public profiles, no feed. Lockstep reads your daily step total from Apple Health and nothing else - no locations, no workouts, no heart rate.
Is there something between competitions?
Your friends board is always on: today and the last seven days, ranked.
