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, no public leaderboards.

Flexible Goals

Four step tiers from 3K 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 1,000+ that compounds over time. Streaks multiply your points.

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 (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 1000+. Streaks multiply your points. Miss a day? Slow decay. Your commitment is visible.

🛡️

Anti-Cheat Verification

Multi-signal verification: GPS data, step cadence analysis, 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, no public leaderboards. Just the people who actually matter pushing each other forward.

🎯

Flexible Step Tiers

Four goal levels: 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.

Questions?

We've got answers

Yes. Solo challenges, group challenges, leaderboards, and your Consistency Score are all free forever. Upkeep Pro ($7.99/mo) adds extras like streak insurance and advanced analytics — but everything that makes Upkeep fun stays free. Early downloaders get Pro free for life.

We use multi-signal verification: cross-checking steps with GPS data, detecting robotic patterns, and analyzing step cadence. Manual review backs up automation.

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

Upkeep is live on the App Store now! Download free for iPhone and start your first challenge today. Android is coming soon.

It's your long-term fitness reputation — a number from 0 to 1000+ that grows every verified day you hit your step goal. Streaks multiply your points, and inactivity causes slow decay. Tiers range from "Getting Started" to "Legendary."

Anytime, straight from the App Store. Cancel in one tap — no emails, no forms. Your data and challenges stay intact on the free tier. No lock-in, no surprise charges.

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.

When you join a paid challenge, a portion of subscription fees goes into a prize pool. Winners of each challenge earn real rewards. You can literally earn back your subscription by staying consistent.

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.
