What Strider does

A fitness tracker that actually pays you back

Everything you'd expect from a workout app, wrapped in a progression system that makes the boring weeks worth showing up for.

Tracking

Start moving. Strider figures out the rest.

GPS maps your route and distance while your iPhone's motion sensors work out what you're actually doing — so a run that turns into a ride doesn't turn into a ruined workout log.

  • Live GPS distance, pace, and route mapping
  • Automatic run-versus-ride detection from motion sensors
  • Runs, bike rides, and swims in one place
Progression

Every workout is XP toward the next level.

Distance, effort, and consistency all feed your total. Level up, push into prestige tiers, and watch a number go up that isn't your weight.

  • XP awarded from every tracked activity
  • Levels and prestige tiers for long-haul progress
  • Quarterly seasons, so newcomers aren't chasing veterans
Social

Better with people who also can't sit still.

Follow friends, find new people, and see everyone's workouts roll in as they finish. Message them directly when a run deserves a comment.

  • A live feed of workouts from people you follow
  • Discover athletes and direct messages built in
  • Block and report tools on every profile
Apple Watch

Leave the phone. Keep the numbers.

The Watch app reads heart rate and active calories through Apple HealthKit, so effort counts toward your XP even when your iPhone is sitting in a locker.

  • Live heart rate and active calories on the wrist
  • Reads and writes through Apple HealthKit, with your permission
  • Workouts sync straight back to your iPhone
Rewards

The part that keeps you coming back

Achievements

Milestones for distance, streaks, personal bests, and the odd thing you didn't know you were working toward.

Quarterly seasons

Everyone resets four times a year. A clean leaderboard every quarter, and a fresh reason to start again.

After Action Report

Finish a workout and get the full breakdown — XP earned, levels gained, achievements unlocked — on one screen.
