What Is Upkeep?

A free step challenge app for iOS and Android. Compete with friends in private weekly walking challenges — every step verified through Apple Health and Google Fit.

Private Groups

3 to 20 friends per challenge. Invite-only — no strangers can join. Want to go fully private? A visibility toggle lets you opt out of the global leaderboard too.

Flexible Goals

Five step tiers from 2K to 10K per day. Pick the pace that fits your life.

Auto-Rolling Challenges

When a 7-day challenge ends, a new one starts automatically. Same group, zero friction.

Auto-Verified Steps

Syncs with Apple Health & Google Fit. No manual logging, no self-reporting, no cheating.

Consistency Score

A reputation from 0 to 100 that compounds over time. Consistent daily success is what grows it.

Always Free

Group challenges, step verification, leaderboards — all core features, no subscription.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction. Real accountability.

01
🎯

Create or Join

Start a private challenge with friends. Pick a daily step goal (2K, 3K, 5K, 7K, or 10K) and share the invite link. That's it.

02
👟

Walk & Track

Works with your existing device. We sync steps from Apple Health and Google Fit (compatible with Fitbit, Garmin, & more).

03
🏆

Build Your Score

Every verified day grows your Consistency Score — a reputation that compounds over time. Watch your rank climb and your habits stick.

Built for Real Accountability

Every feature exists to keep you moving and keep it fair

📈

Consistency Score

A reputation that compounds over time. Hit your daily goal, watch your score grow from 0 to 100. Consistent days build it fast. Miss a day? Slow decay. Your commitment is visible.

🛡️

Anti-Cheat Verification

Multi-signal verification: on-device GPS plausibility checks, step-pattern anomaly detection, and heart rate checks. No phone-shaking. No treadmill spoofing. If it's not real, we catch it.

👫

Private Groups

Challenges are invite-only. 3 to 20 friends per group, no strangers can join. Just the people who actually matter pushing each other forward — and if you want to go fully private, a visibility toggle lets you opt out of the global leaderboard too.

🎯

Flexible Step Tiers

Five goal levels: 2K, 3K, 5K, 7K, or 10K steps per day. Whether you're recovering from an injury or training for a marathon, there's a tier for you.

🔄

Weekly Auto-Rolling

When a 7-day challenge ends, a new one starts automatically with the same group. No need to re-invite everyone. Just keep walking.

💰

Earn Back Your Sub

A portion of subscription revenue funds the prize pool. Win challenges, earn real rewards. Your consistency literally pays off.

⚔️

1v1 Duels

Challenge one friend directly instead of a whole group. Send a targeted invite, race to the same step goal, and see who shows up more.

Questions?

We've got answers

Yes. Solo challenges, group challenges, leaderboards, and your Consistency Score are all free forever. Upkeep Pro ($9.99/mo) will add extras like streak insurance and advanced analytics — but everything that makes Upkeep fun stays free. Download early to become a Founding Member and get priority access to Pro perks as they roll out.

We use multi-signal verification: on-device GPS plausibility checks, hourly step-pattern anomaly detection, and heart-rate correlation. Manual review backs up automation.

Absolutely. Challenges are private to invited groups. Your step data is encrypted. We never sell data.

It's your long-term fitness reputation — a number from 0 to 100 that grows every verified day you hit your step goal. Consistent daily success compounds your score over time, and inactivity causes slow decay. Tiers range from "Getting Started" to "Legendary."

Yes! If your Fitbit or Garmin writes data to Apple Health (iOS) or Google Fit (Android), your steps will sync automatically. It's the perfect way to do group challenges across different watches.

Upkeep is focused purely on group accountability for walking. Unlike Strava, it's built for private groups, not public bragging rights. Unlike MoveSpring, it's free for friends and doesn't require a corporate plan.

Generate an invite link, share via text/email/social. Friends tap the link and join in seconds.

Your streak resets and your Consistency Score takes a hit. But don't worry — one bad day doesn't ruin everything. Your score recovers as you stay consistent.

When a 7-day challenge ends, a new one starts automatically with the same group. No need to re-invite everyone. Just keep walking.

Yes! You can be in up to 7 active challenges at once. Each tracks separately with its own leaderboard and step goal.

Yes. Tapping a name anywhere in the app opens that person's profile, with a head-to-head summary against you and the option to send kudos. You can block anyone who bothers you, and a visibility toggle lets you opt out of profile discovery entirely if you'd rather stay private.
