Is there a step tracker for walking groups that does not compare people?

Walking together without a scoreboard

Many of us start walking with friends to get back into shape. Counting steps helps, but a ranking can make a good morning feel like a test.

In PrivateSteps every number stays on the phone that counted it. Nobody else can see yours, and you cannot see theirs.

What each walker sees

• Day, Week, Month and Year reports, with arrows back through history.
• Tap a bar to see the exact count.
• Optional goals, set by you, for the day, week or month.
• A streak of days at goal and a note of your best day.
• Records that compare you only to your own earlier weeks.

Sharing only if you choose

Some groups like to compare notes over coffee. That is fine, and it is up to each person.

• Share a screenshot of your chart.
• Export your totals as a CSV file and send it.

Nothing is uploaded unless you send it yourself.

Easy to start as a group

Each friend installs the app on their own phone. It is free to start, and the store listing shows current pricing. There is nothing to sign up for, so no one needs to invite anyone. See how it works without an account.

A gentle way to stay with it

Getting back into shape is easier when nobody feels behind. One friend may walk a short loop and another may go much further, and both can feel good about their own week.

Each of us can look at our own Week and Month reports, notice our own progress, and decide on our own goals. The group simply keeps walking together.

If you track health numbers too, remember to talk to your own doctor or care team about them.
